Very scary in its realism, but without modern excessive violence.

Also, don't be afraid to sit down and have a serious discussion with your child about how not everything their teachers feed them in social studies classes is Gospel. Sure, they would have to regurgitate some of it on tests to get good grades, but if you give them enough information, they will figure out the truth. Kids are smarter than most adults give them credit for.

That's why Jews support anti-Israeli politicians. That's also why gays/feminists are not saying boo about Islamic oppression. Ideology is more important to them than anything, including intellectual honesty.

Feels great not to be disappointed after all these years. But makes me feel even worse for today's kids who worship modern celebrities instead of true heroes such as Walesa.

They were proven right more than once over the last 2 years. Bibi Rocks! The right man for the right time, indeed.

Hence the difference in views and behavior, no surprise at all.

Yes, it's racier that the 80's-90's stuff, but the message of responsibility and respect for life is unmistakable. I love the scene how the girl's stuck-up mother tells her of the "right" way to handle an unwanted pregnancy - "You sister had an abortion, but now she has a REAL baby." Something to that effect anyway. It's funny but also feminist dogma in a nutshell- the baby is not real if you don't want it. By being a bit edgy and "cool" the movie is able to bring home a great message to people who otherwise may not listen.

And frankly if it takes a sparkly undead metrosexual to teach the message of abstinence and self-sacrifice for the one you love, I'll take that any day over a "deep" adult flick like American Beauty or Revolutionary Road. Most interestingly, I find that even clearly liberal artists like J.K. Rowling or Joss Whedon, under the cover of "fantasy" end up telling very conservative stories that they would never create if set in the real world. Fantasy lends itself to black and white, good vs. evil setup that our "sophisticated" society for the most part disdains in mainstream art. . As conservatives movie and art lovers, I believe we would make a mistake dismissing a whole genre as juvenile and unimportant. (For the record I'm a 40 YO mother of 3 and have never lived in my parents' basement.)

Klavan pulls you in from the first page, as usual, and doesn't let go. But I see on Amazon the liberal reviewers' knives are already out for the story being too "political" etc. I don't know why so many people think crime thrillers have to be set in a vacuum instead of the current world. It makes for a much better read to not just be enjoying the story, but seeing how it relates to real life and events. Klavan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, in large measure because he brings his worldview anabashedly into his recent writing.

I know he's not the greatest actor, and he's had his share of doozies, but to me it's beyond obvious he should be on the list. Despite his overall success, I consider him one of the most underrated minds in Hollywood. Agree with a previous poster about Will Smith and Christian Bale, purely on their choice of projects and the ability to stay away from showing off their liberal inclinations. I know Christian Bale is not exactly a role model, but that's not what this post is about.

Seriously? That reminds me of my college professor who, when asked a question during a lecture, would complain we're not letting him follow his notes.

This seems to be one of them so I'm definitely looking forward to when this movie becomes available.

However, I feel safe in stating that he when he was committing his multiple acts of heroism (in true old-fashioned sense, not George Clooney making anti-MacCarthyism movies sense), the last thing on his mind was whether or not decades later some pampered dingbat votes for or against doing something in his honor. It's our, modern generation that's being brought down by this disrespect for heroism. The warriors of old did their job and in a very real sense their glory can never be taken away, cannot depend on momentary demands of political correctness. If we cannot properly honor heroism, it's our loss, not the heroes'.

Without Stallone, it would just be a movie, albeit a great one, but thanks to Sly- a huge international franchise! What I want to know is, how come this guy never gets credit for being both talented and intelligent? I thought the cultural elites are the ones always preaching to not judge the book by its cover?

Remember when an "artist" was someone who would uplift and bring people together based on love of his/her art instead of dividing them over political issues and talking down to them? Elton John does. Good for him.

He persecuted Jews as Western agents, blamed Jewish doctors for deaths of several famous Russians, and eventually issued a number of edicts denying Jews employment in professional positions. Untold thousands of Jews ended up in the Gulag or summarily executed. The lucky ones lost their jobs and had to survive in poverty. Maybe Oliver Stone will make a movie about that? Start holding your breath...now.

I expect the writing to pick up in the next season as the characters get more developed. Still, nice to see middle America to be portrayed in a way that we're laughing with the characters and not at them, and Patricia Heaton is a class act from all I know about her as a person.

It's one of the few shows I watch regularly with my own kids. As a working mother of 3, I completely identify with the main character, and the kids get to see their own shortcomings brought to hilarious life on TV, which slightly reduced the need for me to point them out. Everyone wins. And unlike Malcolm in the Middle, which I also enjoyed in its earlier seasons, the mother is entirely likable and the father is not a bumbling fool. It manages to be funny and kind to its characters at the same time, a rarity in modern "enlightened" TV.
