hehe, this movie is certainly not for everybody. Most people I've talked to about it either don't like the cgi effects, or the violence, or AJ. I realized that the main reason I was so enthralled was because of the story. So, I rummaged around in the local library my daughter's room and found the book, and now I am happily reading it!

Yes, that's what I mean, too, when I talk about movies my sons won't watch with me present. I used to usher them out of the room during the "inappropriate" scenes -- now they want to usher ME out of the room! :laugh: And if there's any explicit sex or nudity, they won't watch it with me, period!

So true. I've tried to keep a lid on it with my kids, but it's a losing battle. Especially when it comes to video games. :-\

How come, Leslie? I have only seen her in one or two things, but I thought she was a pretty good actress. I'm not crazy about her real-life escapades, but I blame those more on the tabloid coverage than on her own behavior. I'm curious about your opposition to her.

It's not her acting Leslie has against her.
I, on the other hand, am a huge fan - though I don't see everything she does - and am eagerly awaiting Angelina's latest movie Wanted which also stars the hunk from Atonement James McAvoy.

Even after what that homewrecking slut did to our "Friend" Jennifer Anniston?!! :laugh: Just kidding!

Yes, Del and I had a long heated debate about AJ back in the day, and in the end, we agreed to disagree about this person.

In most cases, I can easily separate a person's personal life from who they are up on the screen (or stage). But in AJ's case, I have such fundamental disagreements with so many of the things she has said and done, I have lost my "separate-ability." So, for myself, I decided it's just better to stay away. I don't read about her (gossip or serious interviews or anything else) and I won't watch her in movies.
