Another Weekend Movie Review

Because I believe that people should know a little bit about movies before they choose to attend, and becasue I believe that we need to hear something objective about that movie, I want to offer a few words on a regular basis regarding movies which are presently in the local theaters. You or a member of your family might well desire to "go to the movies", I hope these reviews will be helpful. Even if a person has already seen a particular movie it is a good thing to assess that movie for what might have been missed. So here we go:

Tropic Thunder was #1 at the box office last weekend. It beat out the smash hit Batman: The Dark Knight. Thunder stars quite a few major actors, among them Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. A few notes from the Catholic Office for Film and Broadcasting: relentlessly vulgar, non-stop rough language and profanity; strong violence and gore, torture, drug use and frank sexual references. Apparently not a family movie.
