Movieguide, a conservative reviewing magazine, recently reported to movie-industry executives that films "with a very strong Christian worldview" earned nearly twice as much in 2001 as movies it categorized as "humanist, pagan, Romantic, Communist, feminist, occult, homosexual or anti-patriotic."

The next time someone liberal wag tells you that Hollywood doesn't have an agenda and that it's all about big money, cite this stat

Of course, the key here, is the way that Movieguide chooses to categorize movies... Frankly, I doubt that this stat would hold up under scrutiny - otherwise there would be a ton of Christian movies out there making a bunch of money.

Michael Medved, movie reviewer and conservative talk show host, wonders all the time when HoWood is going to get it that nice clean movies enjoy high ratings. He frequently announces boxoffice numbers and clean movies consistently do as well as if not better than violent sex.

Someone I know in HoWood explains that much financing for films comes from foreigners who are unable to understand the concepts of nice films based on positive American culture. All they understand is that their last violence/sex film did well, so they want to do another.
