Hi Art, I didn't see Stigmata. I knew what it was about and deliberately didn't watch it. Now, I may be getting confused, but was the other one that silly movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger? If so, I did see that. I didn't like it at all. Another one I steered clear of was "The Passion of The Christ." I don't need to watch gratuitous pain and suffering in a movie. When you think about it the Harry Potter movies are weird and wonderful but I don't think they are hurtful or cause bad impressions on young minds. I haven't watched any of the HP movies but I have seen bits and pieces. Truth is, I felt they were kiddie movies and they didn't appeal to me. So, sorry, I couldn't really write anything worthwhile on either of those. Now, "The Highlander" starring Christopher Lambert - THAT is a movie to be rapturous about! One of the best I have seen.

Oops! Art, I meant to say get well in my last post. I hit the send button just as I remembered it. Also, you made such great commentary on Dave's "moonie" thread. It was excellent and I rated it 10/10. Couldn't have put it better myself. In fact, Art, I'm hoping to get a blog on my website soon. Would you mind if (when it is ready) I could reproduce what you have said and send it out to my opt-in list? I just think it was so good and so truthful. I really admire what you said. Regards Gary

Hi, Gary, As far as I am aware, the forums are public domain so you don't need my permission to reproduce anything I may have written - but thank you very much for asking. I highly recommend the Harry Potter movies - they are pure escapism and very entertaining. Yes. it was Arnie in 'End of Days'. How could you not believe a film containing exploding urine and a suave devil who has to have his meetings in a broken down cinema? As for the Vatican hit squad - well doesn't everybody know about them? Dan Brown does. I do highly recommend two historical movies, Ice Age and Ice Age 2 (The Melting) - absolutely brilliant - I wish I could have been there! As you can imagine - I do sometimes have to resort to canned entertainment - you will be surprised how heavy a book can get.

Hi Gary, Make sure to let us all know when you have your blog going. I'm sure it will be most interesting reading. Art, the world could sure use a blog from you, as well. God bless, Dave

Hi Dave, Interesting forum as usual. I don't watch movies and rarely watch TV except for Indy car races, NFL select games, the weather channel, and occasionally the news. There is very little about TV that I find interesting or worthwhile. Movies have too much sex, vulgarity, or violence for my tastes. I am from the era of Leave It To Beaver, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, and other light hearted entertainment that no longer exists. DonnaZ
