Should your kids see Twilight Eclipse?
EXCERPT:

But the more I reflect on the saga, the more I realize that Bella and Edward's controlling, all-consuming relationship (for which she is willing to forsake her humanity, her family, her best friend) provides a pretty terrible example for young girls (the majority of the hardcore fans are women and girls) -- and the movies are simply not appropriate for the 8-year-old-looking kids I saw at the preview screening Monday night. It's not the language (there barely is any) or the sex (it's mostly passionate kissing and longing looks), but the amped-up violence, and more important, the confusing messages that make the film too intense for highly impressionable tweens and younger.

Only parents can decide for certain whether their children are ready for a particular film, but be aware of what's in 'Eclipse': newly created "newborn" vampires that kill so many humans for blood, Seattle believes there's a serial killer on the loose; a climactic battle scene that includes widespread decapitation, dismemberment, and burning vampires to death; one flashback that includes mass murder and another that implies a fiancé orchestrated a gang rape of his intended bride; and several passionate kisses and a proposition to have sex that is gentlemanly rejected.
