The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

Rated: PG-13.

Suitable for: Teens and older moviegoers.

What you should know: Shia LaBeouf, in what he considers his first adult role, plays a brainy college dropout who is framed for terrorism and goes on the run at the behest of a faceless voice that contacts him by all manner of modern technology.

Language: One use of the f-word, some profanity and various vulgarities.

Sexual situations and nudity: Mild. A joke is made about herpes and a kiss exchanged.

Violence/scary situations: Lots, with explosions, car chases and crashes, a man who is burned to death by high-voltage wires, exchange of gunfire and innocent lives -- including that of an 8-year-old boy -- are targeted or put in jeopardy. Plus, there is a quick shot of an accident victim in an open coffin at a funeral.

Drug or alcohol use: Adults are briefly shown drinking, with one scene set in a bar.

Rated: PG-13.

Suitable for: Mature tweens and up.

What you should know: Diane Lane and Richard Gere star in an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel. She is the separated mother of two whose life is changed when she pitches in at a friend's beachside inn and meets a divorced doctor with amends to make. Cast also includes James Franco, in a small role, Mae Whitman and Scott Glenn.

Language: Generally mild, with a few crude or vulgar phrases.

Sexual situations and nudity: A couple is shown in bed and while the camera largely stays on their heads and shoulders, it's obvious they're having sex.

Violence/scary situations: A hurricane heads for Rodanthe, a surgery goes awry, and an act of nature takes a human toll, too.

Drug or alcohol use: Lots of wine, whiskey or beer consumption.
