Moral movie/play/TV/etc viewing?

As we all know, most all movies and other media forms of that sort have something or other objectionable in them. Even the best ones often contain violence, sexuality, or something of that ilk.

My mom is playing in the orchestra this weekend for a production of the musical version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (yes, such a thing does exist). My mom has warned my sister and I, who are planning to see it, that it has numerous murders in it (several shown rather graphically) and a scene of a sexual attack, as well as a rather sleazy scene in a brothel (or is it brothel"s"?). She has told us when the rape and brothels scenes are, and I fully intend not to watch at those parts (hopefully, my sister does too), and I’ll probably not watch the more graphic murders, either.
So my question is, is it immoral to watch movies/plays/etc with sleazy/excessively violent parts if you just don’t watch the objectionable parts?

In life evil exists, I don’t see any reason to deny it’s existence, so I believe actors and persons involved in movies, plays, TV etc. while playing their role as an evil person should be as evil and repugnant as possible to show sin in its true light. It is so sad how Hollywood glorifies sin.

True, Mike. That’s pretty much the case in Jekyll and Hyde. Obviously, the rape and all the murders are committed by Mr. Hyde, who is supposed to be the epitome of evil.
But what if the movie or whatever in question is glorifying the sin, to an extent. I recently saw some of the movie *De-Lovely, *about the bisexual Cole Porter, and it kind of bugged me, because that movie certainly didn’t condemn his bisexuality, while it may not have flat-out endorsed it.
This can be kinda confusing.
