    blasphemy in entertainment

    I saw The Dark Knight...where in the entire film does someone blaspheme Jesus?! And by the way, I agree that we have all become too desensitized to the now regular use of Jesus' and God's name(s) in vain ways...but that is not going to stop me from seeing a movie, etc. Anyway, WHERE in that...

    Asian Horror!

    I am definitely digging Asian horror at the moment, especially since all America has been churning out lately is gory torture-porn which I refuse to see (I viewed the first Saw film and didn't dislike it, as it wasn't as gory as I expected, but I will never see movies like Hostel or The Hills...

    The Happening

    I really liked The Happening. Being an avid supporter of M. Night Shyamalan, I was sure to see this opening weekend. While it is not his best film (in my opinion Signs and The Sixth Sense are his absolute best, in that order) it achieved what it was trying to achieve. I saw a special on this...

    Does Obama or McCain seem like a better guy? (Moved from Men's Corner)

    I support Senator Barack Obama and hope to see him become the next President of the United States. While I do not, of course, see eye-to-eye with him on 100% of all issues and subjects (who does with anyone?) I can say that I believe him to be the best candidate of the two running. His policies...

    Juno

    I don't think there's anything wrong with a movie portraying real life. There is sin in the world, and we are ALL guilty of it. To watch a movie where everyone acts perfectly would be incredibly tedious. Teenagers get pregnant; that's a sad fact. No, I'm not generalizing and saying all...

    What is your favorite MOVIE musical?

    I have never been able to watch the movie-version of Rent all the way through; it's much too clunky and tedious in my opinion. While having never seen a stage production of the show, I think I can say that the movie version is just awful. Other more recent ones I thought were bad include The...

    Juno

    I didn't necessarily find this aspect unsettling. More refreshing, actually. While teenage pregnancy might not be the best thing, I think the way the movie portrayed how the characters dealt with it was very positive. I especially loved Juno's father and stepmother; while they were definitely...

    Juno

    I love Juno! When I first saw it in theatres I was put-off by the soundtrack as well, and I was also a tad bit...underwhelmed. Based on all the hype surrounding it, I mean. However, I bought the 2-disc DVD on the day-of-release and have watched the film several more times (and the special...

    What actor/actress is tops in your household?

    Top actor/actress in our household (which consists of my mother and I): Actor - Johnny Depp. Amazing range!! Haven't seen all his work, of course, but the ones we have (Edward Scissorhands, the Pirates movies, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Secret Window, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...

    What is your all time favorite movie?

    Schindler's List. Bar-none the most incredible film ever made. No arguments!

    Adult input on Brokeback Mountain.

    This was a beautiful film; most of my friends and family believe homosexuality to be a sin and are dead-set to never see the movie. I wasn't allowed, either (not that I asked...), but I recently rented it privately and was totally blown away. Like an earlier post said, this film is not about...

    Films you are looking forward to this year

    In no particular order... Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull The Dark Knight M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince The Road Saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian last night and enjoyed myself. It's even better than the first, in my...

    Last movie you watched (7)

    In theatres - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (8/10). Darker and yet funnier; I liked it even better than the first! Very violent for a supposed children's movie and that White Witch resurrection scene was scary and intense! On DVD - The Brave One (9/10). Don't agree with the moral...
