1. Oh, for sure.
If you want to read some really hysterical movie reviews, check this site out: http://www.capalert.com/capreports/index.htm

You'll laugh your ass off. It almost more fun than watching some of the movies listed! :D

3. I especially like their rating category of Impudence/Hate
BUAHAHAHAHAHA

Apparently "Punk Dress" falls under this category as a negative.

9. How about this for Impudence/Hate?
"Bird defecation on shoulder"


I am not making this up. It's on their list of complaints for "Pirates of the Caribbean."


Funny site, in a creepy sort of way.

Creepy that there are those who take ratings from this site seriously!

5. Here are some of the things they found wrong with Rushmore:
# arrogance against fair authority
# a dart shot into a younger boy's neck
# frequent lies to impress and to deflect accountability
# presentations of alcoholic beverages
# starting a leaf fire on school property
# ignoring restrictions
# use of stage drugs
# using bees to effect vengeance
# talk of divorce and family deaths
# chucking rocks

I can hardly believe it. "PG-13 - Use of bees to effect vengeance." Thanks for the link!

7. You're welcome!
I think their rating system and reviews are hysterical and check them periodically just for laughs. :7

10. Would you trust this man to rate movies for you?


This is the dude who rates the movies (assuming he can even see them through those melting glasses).

8. Some priests rape boys.
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 06:56 PM by Mountainman
My brother is a priest and he is not a pedophile. That sign is a bit over the top I think. He is also a Green Beret vietnam veteran. He is also opposed to the war.

11. The sign is from Fred Phelps' whacko church.
And yes, it is over the top. But that's the point.
