Here is a look at what's new this week in family entertainment as adapted from reviews and ratings by Common Sense Media. Click on the links to read the reviews in full.

In Theaters Now: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
A dark and moody film, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is based on the second of Stephanie Myer's four novels. This installment is more violent than the first and takes the theme of obsessive love to new heights. Despite all the longing looks, passionate embraces and intense kisses, the film avoids being too explicit and the language remains fairly tame. Rated PG-13, OK for Kids 13+

DVD: My Sister's Keeper
A weepy drama about a terminally ill child and her family's fight to save her life, "My Sister's Keeper" is ultimately a love story. Many scenes are painful to watch and, despite the message of love, it's a heartbreaking story that may upset younger audiences. Rated PG-13, Iffy for Kids 14-15TV: Chef Academy
A cooking reality show on Bravo, "Chef Academy" features French gourmand Jean-Christophe Novelli putting student chefs through their paces. Along with the contest, there is a side story that follows Novelli and his pregnant fiance as they settle into life on the West Coast. With some bleeped swearing, dramatic bickering and lots of references to Novelli's status as "World's Sexiest Chef," the show is typical reality fare. Rated TV-14, Iffy for Kids 14-15

Books: The Mitten
This 20th anniversary edition of Jan Brett's book "The Mitten" is beautiful to look at and enchanting to read. The story is adapted from a Ukrainian folktale about a lost mitten and the animals who find shelter in it. The book's larger size and the inclusion of a note from the author make this book worthy of becoming a treasured keepsake to be enjoyed by generations to come. OK for Kids 4+

Music: Empire State of Mind
Fairly mild as rap songs go, "Empire State of Mind" is hip hop artist Jay-Z's ode to New York City. Accompanied by Alicia Keys, Jay-Z waxes poetic about the trials and tribulations of living in the Big Apple. More of a warning than a love letter, the lyrics are harsh and make plenty of references to the seamier side of the city. OK for Kids 14+

Web: Bam! Body and Mind
An educational site for kids, "Bam! Body and Mind" is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Visitors can explore the body and mind through games, experiments, quizzes and more. An activity calender helps kids make a fitness plan of action and the moderated "Braggin' Rights" feature lets them share their successes. OK for Kids 9+

Games: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
For the Wii, "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" is an updated version of the popular 1980s Nintendo game. In addition to a slick new look, the game features a multi-player option that lets up to four players get in on the action simultaneously. 80 levels and easy-to-play controls make this game super fun for the whole family. Rated E, OK for Kids 7+
