If you love movies, or have SEEN a movie for that matter, you should watch the documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated!

Kirby Dick exposes the ultra-secretive MPAA and their process for awarding film ratings such as the infamous NC-17 (which means hardly any theater in the U.S. will show it at all).

Ever wonder why it's perfectly ok to see a woman's head get violently blown off in a R-rated movie but if we see her
'hooha' or she enjoys too much pleasure the footage is left on the cutting room floor? Well, the fact that two members of the clergy are on the MPAA appeals board may have something to do with that...

Learn more great insights into an obviously flawed system with way too much power that uses censorship to deny great art through filmmaking in this well made documentary. The doc features lots of great interviews along with some real intrigue and laughs, and the filmmaker takes you along as he goes through the ratings and appeal process for the very film you're watching. (I'll leave it a mystery as to what rating it initially gets, but I'll bet you can guess.)

I love documentaries, and this is one of the best I've seen in quite a while. My only complaint is Dick didn't delve into how the studios abuse the ratings system to make even more profit by selling unrated movies on DVD. Doesn't it make sense that the studios would encourage censorship of theatrical releases just so they can have this more attractive 'unrated version'? That way even someone who saw a movie at the theater might be enticed to rent or buy a DVD of that movie just to see what was cut out. Isn't it foolish to think a ratings system on movies in the theater prevents kids from seeing this content when they can more easily watch it at home?
