		<description><![CDATA[Rating: A/3 - Beautifully done (acting, music, and art), just like Hero. And also like Hero and many other Chinese flicks, it was rather sad. Not a very complex story, but the simplicity of the story adds to its beauty. (Visit website for moral review).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: C/2 - "In the few hours we had together we loved a lifetime's worth."  What kind of a line is that?  Not that it's dumb (it was meant to encapsulate the strong bond between the lovers), just that it is ridiculous in that the type of love that lasts a few hours is not love at all.  He was protecting her and she felt sorry for him for never having "loved" anyone, so she basically just opened herself up to him and it was "true love".  Boloney.

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: A/4 - The overall love story between Phillip and Aurora is weak, just as in Cinderella and Snow White - after 5 minutes of dancing with a stranger they fall in love and know they must marry?  Is the kiss really "true love's first kiss"?  This quick romance is depicted in more than just Disney films, so Disney isn't the only one at fault.  So are these fanciful depictions of love harmful to young children?  This type of love is non-existent, and if anything is mostly just lustful desires that people choose not to harness.  Maybe it just provides a good teaching moment for kids, because I really like this film and feel that the message of Good prevailing over Evil is the strongest and most important message.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: A/4 - "Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people [not deliberately trying to destroy America] who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own….THE HARM DONE BY ORDINARY CRIMINALS, MURDERES, GANGSTERS, AND THIEVES IS NEGLIGIBLE IN COMPARISON WITH THE AGONY INFLICTED UPON HUMAN BEINGS BY THE PROFESSIONAL ‘DO-GOODERS’, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others – with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: B/3 - There weren't any real strong messages presented.  Alice supposedly realizes who she is and that instead of marrying into a wealthy family, she should become an apprentice to her father's company.  Is this saying that a woman's potential cannot be fully met in the home as a wife?  Or that education is important in a woman's life? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: C/4 - This show was very interesting and very confusing. If it weren't for Wikipedia's candid explanation of why Terry Gilliam put this together and what he was thinking, I would have thought a lot less of this film (not understanding it's purpose of existence). Because the story was so confusing, it was hard to enjoy; and as my wife stated, "if you want to see what it feels like to be high, you'll get it by watching this show" (not that she would know what to compare it to). --For more on the moral content of the film, come visit the site and vote on the poll.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: A/5 - This movie was amazing. This is what all directors should aspire to. Occasionally it is nice to be able to sit back and not have to think, but this is more than just a thinking movie; you get totally immersed in the film as if you were dreaming it yourself! Nolan has created a totally unique story so complex and deep that it begs for multiple views. Hans Zimmer does a wonderful job with the score as well. You have to see this in the theater.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: B/2 - The one good thing that came out of McMurphy ending up in the asylum was his attempt to get all the patients in the place to pretend like they weren't there.  Anytime the nurses reminded them of their condition/location, McMurphy would rebel and end up lifting the spirits of those around him (a classic scene is the baseball game).  McMurphy eventually ended up getting carried away and realized too late that he had gone too far.  **Visit the site to read the rest of the review and vote on the poll!**]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: B/4 - This was a great family film with original humor and a pretty good story line (the end was as ridiculous as Paul Blart's ending, you'd be better off cutting it off beforehand).  Surprisingly a quality Adam Sandler show that you can watch without any editing. **For the rest of the review visit the website**]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: B/4 - The whole mother leaving her son bit was rather disappointing. Not that all stories need to be happy, and maybe the "dysfunctionality" of this family is actually a plug for families to stick together so their kids don't get stuck with crazy old uncles (though the story actually seemed to say that this situation was better, so maybe it's trying to encourage external family members to step up to the plate to help family members in need.) ***Visit the website to read the rest of the review.***]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: C/3 - This was an OK show, with potential to be really good.  For a kids show, the tone was rather depressing throughout, even the music did nothing to brighten up the film.  The colors through out were a drab gray and brown, maybe a little too artsy for its good.  The 5 year old behavior in an older kid was a little annoying.  The Wild Things were not as wild as I thought they should be, no gnashing teeth or too terrible roars.  I guess it is a children's story and can't afford to get too out of hand.  I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this one.  Save your self 96 minutes and read the book again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: A/3 - Fun show.  This movie didn't seem to have a whole lot to do with the summer time, in fact the only scenes in the summer time were the opening few minutes and the ending few minutes (the setting for the title song).  Maybe it had to do with the fact that good things happen in the summer time and we need to wade patiently through the autumns and winters of life.]]></description>
