Welcome!

I want to welcome you to Take Two. Grab a bowl of popcorn, sit back, relax, and watch these movies......

Hmm, if that's what you want to do, maybe you'd better read on.

My purpose in starting this blog is to challenge people to really look at what they are putting into their heads in the name of entertainment.

Every director has an objective. Every movie has an object. And if we're not careful we can let the directors, actors, and writers determine how we think.

As I watch movies, I will be keeping track of every wrong attitude, look, action, worldview that I see in the movie and report it here. I will keep a tally of bad language as well, but I will not report the words here. I get frustrated when I go to movie sites and they present for my eyes to see what I didn't want my ears to hear.

However, I will not recommend any movie. It is my strong belief that no one person can tell someone else what is appropriate to watch. It is up to each head of household to make those decisions. I want to present facts that will enable people to know if the movie is even one they or their parents would consider.

The movies I choose to review will be ones that are generally believed to be safe for families to watch. I don't do this to show people how bad they are by allowing these things into their head, but rather to give people a view into what they are allowing moviemakers to tell them is true and what they swallow without question.

I would love to take suggestions for movies. So if you have a movie that you would like to see a review of, let me know! I'll see what I can do. One caviat to that, I don't promise to watch every movie.

So pull up a chair. Put your thinking cap on. And let's watch a movie!
