Official Rating is the rating given by MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) or the intended audience (if it is a book or music).

Age Group is our own suggested age range for the piece, often differing from the MPAA's rating or the intended audience.

Intended Audience: is the audience the publisher/producer seems to be targeting. This might be children, young adult, etc.

My Rating is on a scale of five stars (*****) and is the post author's opinion on how enjoyable/well done the piece was.

Brother's Rating is on a scale of five stars (*****) and is the opinion of the post author's brother (about 18 years old). While this rating is not always available--as not all movies are watched by said brother(s)--when it is, we try to share it with the readers.
