Civil War -learning experience, right? Well it had a kind of scary rape scene that I wasn't forewarned about or expected. I hid her eyes and covered her ears (for what good that did with Surround Sound.) She's ok. The traumatic aftermath I expected her to suffer didn't happen. Just sayin'.

I was excited about seeing Ghost Rider but it really wasn't as action packed as the previews made it look - I can say that without giving away any plot points. He may find that it doesn't meet his (built up) expectations either. Especially when compared to 300. Good Job to MastaG on his report card!

Yeah, I said meh to the preview the first time I saw it. NOw, there was a preview for Spiderman 3 that actually showed Venom, and G was beside himself. I was too, technically...

And if you do, run out the door when the usher dude says you all have to leave BEFORE they have to call police have to be called to have the rowdy, scary, f*yelling, big guys removed. I hope your show goes better and I hope we can get into a show some time tomorrow that is not sold out.

My partner's daughter is a set carpenter and worked on it in Melbourne, Australia. She said that the sets were great but a lot of money wasted by the director not knowing what he wanted... like after a caravan was all ready to film, he decided to get it cut in half and extend it out more??? The list goes on. Congratulations for your brainy son's efforts.. Well done Masta G.... Sorry to hear Ghostrider’s a bit weak.

War receives the kind of gloss you'd find in, well, a video game. (Indeed, the actors have little to do besides assume picturesque positions and chew the virtual scenery.) When the audience cheers one particularly aesthetic decapitation it's because it's not quite the same thing as watching an Iraqi execution video. And to be fair to Snyder (who also made the "Dawn of the Dead" remake), he does have a flair for dismemberment. Nevertheless, it's not so much the body count or even the blood lust that's disturbing. It's that the film, with its macho militarism, seems out of step in a war-weary time..." Read the cnn review, if you haven’t already: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/09/review.300/

MastaG displayed a remarkable wisdom by telling me he didn't want to go. We had found a good ratings site (which link escapes me, but measured the sex/violence/profanity of the movie), and I had told him what it rated.
