Hollywood is cashing in.


Lately I have seen more and more advertisements for the new movie "World Trade Center." First of all: it seems like they didn't even try to give it a title. Granted "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is taken, but something along those lines would have been a barrel better. Just from the previews I can predict that the dialogue will be generic, the special effects nil(only because the real footage can't be used and if they tried to re-create the event it would dishonor the memory of the victims), and Hollywood is cashing in on the pulling of heart strings. They will make money, because the critics won't dare say that the movie is mediocre or, dare I say, awful. Movies like this are appearing more and more. "The Passion of the Christ" was mediocre. It wasn't awful, but it definitely wasn't great. The poor critics (I bet that has never been said before) were in fear of ex-communication. At least the Pope liked it. My Catholic Youth group went to see "The Passion." The crowd was so big, the fire code was broken five times over. A couple of months later my peers were outraged that the movie didn't win picture of the year. I agree with Capri though, it was good music. I liked the subtitles too.
