The best film review site ever!!!

It's rare to find a movie reviewer who gets pretty much everything spot on, but this one has!

http://www.capalert.com/

 

Gosh, I'm going to that site every day and let it make all my decisions for me!

 

See, for once I'm actually praying that Hal is being sarcastic.

Uh oh! Look out. There's a belly button coming!

 

So, they have a problem with all the decent parts of the film

Garfield.

electric shock of human as revenge

Impudence/Hate (I)

one use of the three/four letter word vocabulary
lie
somewhat abrasive name-calling, repeatedly
selfishness throughout

Sexual Immorality (S)

dressing to maximize the female form and/or skin exposure (in a background TV music video)

I agree the films crap but come on.

 

Going back to ROTS.

a) Why is it an offence to God to say "you fool". The bible gives many descriptions of foolish people, even using that very word (Proverbs)

b) Why is a husband and wife in bed sexually immoral? I'd have thought they'd be glad that they got married first!

 

That's a brilliant website I?ll visit it everyday

 

It's stuff like this that makes me embarrassed to be a Christian.

They're just entertaining films; don't take it so seriously.

 

Don't be embarrassed.

They cover that thought as well

 

The Arlington Road review is great, they praise how clever the plot was but insist it shouldn't have used 'wanton' violence, but it's a film about terrorism! blowing things up!

 

It's stuff like this that makes me embarrassed to be a Christian.

I'm Christian too, but you can only laugh at stuff like this. It's so ridiculous that I almost wonder if it's a spoof site. Under Sex/Homosexuality for TPM we have "statue nudity".
