A local man is the self-proclaimed "Movie Police," watching movies and telling parents exactly why a movie gets a certain rating.

Jim Judy runs the website ScreenIt.com which tells parents exactly what their kids will see. It provides specific details over 15 categories, including alcohol, drugs, nudity, violence, profanity, and inappropriate behavior. "I don't say if it's good or bad, I just say what it is."

Critics and audiences loved "Superbad," the summer comedy about underage kids trying to buy alcohol for a big party. Jim Judy said he found parts of it funny, but "Superbad" scored pretty badly in most ScreenIt.com categories: extreme violence; extreme nudity; 176 uses of the most forbidden word in the English language.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?In the ScreenIt.com world, "Superbad" rated as the year's most egregious mainstream movie.

Since ScreenIt.com started a decade ago, the website has attracted thousands of subscribers as a cost of $24.95 a year.

On the up side, Jim said "Ratatouille" is this year's most positive mainstream movie. "Charlotte's Web" got the honors last year.

Parenting for the parents who don't want the added work to be actual parents. Nice.
