Changing the way movies are rated

The MPAA announced on January 19, 2007 that they will be revising the way that they rate movies. These revisions will include such things as allowing the general public to know who the top three raters are as well as know general information about the other raters. The push for revision is fueled by the complaints and criticism of moviemakers and a recent documentary.

I think these changes are necessary and important, but are only a small step in the right direction. The way movies are rated needs to be revised much more. Hopefully more changes will be made in the next few years. It's important to know accurate information about the raters and it's a good step to take.
