Language, violence, nudity, substance abuse, and sexual content can now be found in an incredible amount of movies. It seems that ratings aren’t meaningful anymore. You can go see a PG-13 movie and find a little more than you bargained for.
There are websites out there that will tell you exactly how many GD’s were said or F-bombs or sexual content that will be in a movie. It’s nice to know these things so they can weigh in on the decision of watching the movie or not. But what if it’s a movie you have been dying to see?
My husband and I have run into this problem more times than we can count. We watch a trailer, or hear from a friend how incredible a movie is, then one of two things happen: we find out it’s rated “R” (this rating we do not watch), or it is “PG-13” and there is too much language or violence, or sexual content for us to feel comfortable to watch. For a couple of years this has been heart breaking for us. The Matrix, Inception, 300, The Monuments Men, and on and on and on. Until about 8 months ago.
We finally hit the jackpot and looking high and low for a good editing service!
VidAngel
This is a website, a Google Chrome app, and a Roku app that will edit videos AS you stream them. That means you get to pick what is left and what is taken out of your HD streaming movie, and often for less than renting or buying from a regular box store or Redbox.
This company was started by two brothers (the Harmon Brothers) from Idaho that grew up in a Christian home. The Harmons had a hard time with shows and movies that had inexplicable content. First they created this for for just their own families, but then realized there were other families out there that struggle with the same thing.
We have enjoyed watching movies like Interstellar (PG-13), The Matrix series (R), The Monuments Men (PG-13), Defiance (R) and anything else we want. Awesome or what?!
And one of my favorite things is that you are able to address how much content you want to see. If listening to certain profane words don’t upset you, you can set VidAngel to not bleep those words out. Or if a certain amount of violence is acceptable to you, make those changes. It is completely customizable.
We are HUGE movie people and this free service has made it possible to watch our favorite movies guilt free for less than we would be spending anywhere else. Renting for 1.50 or 2.00 a night and purchasing our favorites for way less than most other places. This quickly replaced VUDU for us as our main movie source.
VidAngel has been such a blessing in our lives. We are able to uphold our standards, yet enjoy movies and TV shows without having to watch things we didn’t really want to see or have in our home and we want to share it with as many people who have the same feelings we have.
Plus, if you sign up with our personal link below we get some movie credits, which we wouldn’t complain about at all, and then share your link with your friends who are sick of bad language and intense violence!
