read this editorial by Warren Kinsella in the National Post
On my way home I was scanning through the radio stations and I heard the DJ review the movies that were opening tonight.
SHE said, if you want to go see a scary movie... go see Hostel. Or you can go see Oceans 13. That was all she said.
I really felt like going to my local cineplex with a video camera and standing outside the theatre and asking people why they chose this movie. What attracts them to such a film? I am horrified that more people are not horrified that this movie is accepted as mainstream entertainment.
We had a good dinner time conversation with our daughter about the film. I held nothing back and let her know what happens. She was astounded. We talked about the fact that being horrified and shocked is almost like a "high" you get used to it and you want more and better fixes... where do we draw the line? In our relativist society who is going to say - dude, you just crossed the line!
disheartened I am.

Oh sadness.
I suppose after the slaughter of unborn babies becomes generally accepted then the mutilation and desecration of life-givers would come next in the insidious war against Life. This is a sadness beyond belief, especially since it is the young and impressionable who are trained by these movies, and what is thrilling for them will be boring for the next.
Lord have mercy.
In happier news, you and yours were in my dream last night, and it was a good thing.
