NONE of the cuts in a bloody scene are genuine.

There may be a stunt double to take the fall but no one bleeds for money.

""John Tucker Must Die is the most "morality-free" PG-13-rated film in recent memory.""

I never see R rated movies, and in recent years, you also have to be careful about PG 13.

I recommend renting or buying "The Greatest Game Ever Played." That was one of my recent favorites.

It is easy to become discouraged when we see a glut of this kind of "entertainment" filling our multiplexes.

**************

And our homes. It's rare that I have any interest in seeing a movie in the last few years. We have "on demand" cable, and yet there's nothing worth watching most of the time.

I agree with the article you posted the link to, but it isn't only the commercials the article states. Burger King has gone off the deep end with the "King". Innuendo personified!! And the big guy saying he wants to eat what is suppose to be a baby, what's with that? Who is writing these foul commercials? Creepy is putting it politely.

A Walk to Remember is a great teen movie.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about that! I'll look for it next time I'm in the library.

Yeah, I'm the mother of four boys, so they don't get it. But, whenever I need a good cry, I break out that movie.
