Borklog: One entry


10 November 2000

ScreenIt is my favorite on-line movie review site (not that I have the time to watch many movies these days). It's geared as a "parental information" source, allowing parents to screen a movie's content before letting the little sprogs go see it (I saw Alien when I was 12, and it didn't seem to have too much of an impact on me, but anyway). For those of us sans children, we can use the ratings to guage the potential thrill and titalation factor (hmm, this movie has an extreme rating for violence and a heavy rating for sex/nudity. let's go see it!). In addition to ratings, there's an enumeration of most of the specifics in each of the 15 (!) categories. And to topit all of, their "Our Take" reviews are usually amusing and on-target, such as this one from the review of Pokemon, the movie 2000
Thus, as I was sitting in the theater watching the sequel, subtitled "The Power of One," I couldn't stop my mind from wandering and the place it kept going to was a scene from Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange."
...
Nonetheless, a several month marathon of these Pokémon films played to those incarcerated in prisons and jails around the world would certainly allay, if not cure, much of the world's criminal and otherwise antisocial behavior.
