Earlier this week, I went to see Luther which I highly recommend. I was a bit sceptical going in, because the only comments I'd heard about the movie were from the sort of people who are liable to like any "Christian" movie. Anyway, despite my initial scepticism, I thought that it was a really good movie, if you are the sort of person who likes historical flicks. One thing that I liked about the movie was that it showed Martin Luther as a real human being who got discouraged and depressed, which is the side that you don't usually see presented.
Shifting gears entirely, I went to see School of Rock with my brother tonight. It was pretty funny, though it would have been better if all the little kids in the theater had shut up--not only did they keep talking, they laughed when it wasn't supposed to be funny, and didn't laugh when they should have because they were too young and didn't have the musical knowledge to get most of the jokes.
At the movie though, we saw the trailer for Kill Bill which we'd been debating whether we wanted to see, but the trailer pushed us over the edge, and we're going to go see it tomorrow. It took some convincing for the parents to agree that my brother could see it, since my mom read all the reviews about it being the most violent movie ever made and all that, but everything I've read suggests that it's not the disturbing kind of violence that's in some movies I've seen. If you've seen it and it really is gorey and disgusting and we'll get grossed out and wish we hadn't seen it, please let me know. And, if it really was as cool as it looks, well, I'd like to know that too (without any spoilers, though :=)
