I'd love to see Kaleidescape integrate the fantastic info on movies at Common Sense Media. While the info Kaleidescape's MovieGuide gives about why a movie is rated a certain way is often more helpful than just the simple "PG-13" or "R", it's not nearly enough to help parents really determine if a movie is appropriate for their kids.
CSM does a fantastic job of really explaining the sex, language, and violence that's in a movie, in great detail. My wife and I use it before selecting any movie for the kids. Definitely avoids those "uh oh" moments when you're watching a movie with the kids and suddenly the content turns inappropriate or deals with a subject you didn't expect.
Here's an example where they explain in great detail what to expect...

Here's a little more on this great organization: http://www.commonsensemedia.org/about-us/our-mission
Sure would love to see that integrated right in to the UI. (Much the way Netflix has recently integrated CSM ratings).
