Striking 'Compass' From the Record
Thursday December 13, 2007
Categories: Movies
You know on “Law & Order” when the judge tells the jury to ignore the statement just made by the person testifying by saying, “Strike that from the record. Jury, please disregard his statement in your deliberations?” I always...

This is a film that my children (ages 5 and 6) won't watch until I have seen it and deemed it appropriate. If it is getting the = of a pg-13 movie, then they are too young anyhow and this is moot. I do think that young children, because everything in their world has a literal interpretation, may be confused by this movie. I can see where it would be entertaining for older kids.
Weak kneed ninnies!
Either it is good or it is not (and I think it is). If they do not have the strength of their own convictions, they they ought to quit making pronouncements until they know - or are told - who they are. Once again the Orthodogs and Vaticanines are barking and baying at anything that bears even the scent of openness.
Poor showing, guys. Some day you may tell us what you really think.
As they used to say when I was in law school, "You can't unring a bell." This decision makes the church look far worse than anything in the movie does.
hey, i think the movie is ok for kids. so don't jugd things until u see them.
Actually the negative publicity is most likely getting more people to go see the movie.I would of thought after the Divinci Code these people might have learned.I have seen the movie think it is good and properly rated.Yes you could read things in to it but if your not looking to and have a strong belief system personaly it is as think just good wholesome entertainment.Those who fear that it will lead people away from their religion have little faith in the teaching and the strenght of their followers.
I have been a Catholic now for 60 years. I believe that in my lifetime I have been able to make responsible and accountable decisions for myself. I do not feel the church needs to intercede with my 'free will' in influencing my movie-going decisions. My youngest son, (who is 29), and I saw this movie and truly wondered what the hoopla was all about. Yes, I believe anyone of any faith can make something out of nothing, just look at what is happening in our world today. But, come on folks, why do we always have to perceive something as negative, when we don't have to. We both came away with the feeling that here was just another movie that combatted good against evil. Guess what?? Good prevailed!!!! Like the old saying goes, "I think thou dost protest too much"!
