Yesterday, I watched the movie I had rented, "Saved!". At first glance, you might just see "oh, it's about all these über-Christian bible-thumpers attending one of those Baptist Bible-School High Schools," and pass it by.
DO NOT DO THAT!
Go watch the trailer, and even then you can see that this movie is a pretty biting commentary on the ultra-Christian moral minority. It also has some great performances... for example, Macaulay Culkin, the Home Alone kid, as a cynical wheelchair bound student who develops an affection for the Jewish christian-hating bad-girl who only attends Jesus School because she's been kicked out of everywhere else. Within ten minutes, you basically completely forget any images of him slapping his hands to his face and just accept him in that role.
I rented it, but it's now being added to the wish-list for future purchase at some point in time. Definitely worth checking out.
Thanks, now I'm having flashbacks to CCD with Sister Eugene...*shudder*
Catholic School flashback, Ahhhhh. I had a nun, Sister Paulita for math class. She was incredibly flatulant and had no clue that she was. For boys in the third grade there is nothing funnier. "What is the square root of 25? PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
