    Becoming movies with integrity

    by susanmbeyer

    So glad to see such movies being produced. America's youth is inundated with movies full of violence, sleeze, crude language, romantizing of sex, drugs. My husband and I don't go to R-rated movies and have walked out on many PG-13 (that should have been rated R). Nice to find a movie of the calibur of Becoming Jane. It actually teaches some history! People's lives (biographies) are far more interesting than meandering through the vivid and perverse fantasies of movie producers who don't have a real clue as to what America wants or needs. We need more uplifting movies, more movies about integrity, kindness, sacrificial love and especially faith. My 2 cents.

    "Did you believe it"

    by wthayer210

    I am not much of a technical specialist regarding what makes a movie good or bad but a friend told me how to be a good judge of a movie. Simpley statement ;"Did you believe it". I believed everything I saw and heard in "Becoming Jane" The acting is subperb-Ann Hathaway is surely to get an Academy Award nomination for her portrail of Jane Austen as well as the other actors for supporting roles. You would think a love story set in 18th century England and Ireland would be slow and boring. Not so this movie; I felt myself gripping my seat to wait for what would happen next in this thrilling love story. It is nice to see a good, holesome family movie being made which attracts all types and ages of viewers. I highly recomment this move to all
