filter for the fact that my gore tolerance is just about zero.
but I think it's pretty gory and somehow I think your 13 year old already knows that slaughtering dolphins is not so swell.
Have any of you seen an environmental documentary called "The Cove"? About a guy trying to save dolphins from being slaugtered in a bay in Japan?? My animal-loving almost 13 year old is asking to see it on tv tonight, but I am not sure whether this is a good idea.

....to me, if I want to laugh I'll throw on "Blazing Saddles" or "Life of Brian". My two favorites. I wonder what would have happened had Mel Brookes teamed up with Monty Python? Mmmm...
I remember feeling sorry for Jacob Singer and then really happy for the guy once I figured it all out. Having eaten a couple of bad ones in my day, I realized it could have been alot worse. This film really spoke to me at the time. ( Can't remember why?). I think this was Mackuly Culkin's first role.
An emotional ride into so many nooks and crannies of the psyche and the soul.
The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.
A great film from 1990 (I think) w/ Tim Robbins. Very underated and highly recommended.
Samuel L. Jackson fans will love this one. The movie is a thriller about a terrorist who plants a number of nuclear bombs around the country in the major cities, exactly what number is the main question.
The movie has several statements to make about fighting terrorism in general:
Who the players are
Who has the moral high-ground: Are both warring parties on the same level??
How far are the players willing to go to accomplish their missions?
This is a movie you watch from start to finish without stopping, or at least hitting the pause button. Highly recommended if you are into action thrillers that are well done and leave you thinking afterward.
...is an excellent movie for everybody but especially for kids on a rainy day this summer.
