Shining the Light of Christ on Everything the Media Does

Have you seen "Bella"yet?
There's still time. "Bella" has been in theatres since October 25, and is still being shown in theatres in the US, and will go international from there. Click here for showtimes.
IMO, Bella is not an Oscar-worthy film. It might have been a good short, but the filmmakers should not have left the character arcs and the narrative out of a feature-length film.
I am so excited, Jean Marie! Great job! God bless! Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

Movie Time!!! Break out the popcorn and get ready to check out this outstanding, much-needed resource for Catholic families who have been more than a little chagrined by the recent media review efforts of the USCCB office. In a commendable showing of creative, constructive outrage, a group of faithful Catholic bloggers have banded together to create the Catholic Media Review. Check it out!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After reading this informative review of the film Juno I’d say this site’s off to a splendid start, and it will become a “first-stop” reference when looking for information on what’s out there in the world of media, particularly if you’re trying to get a Christian perspective on things.

Hope there's room here for a dissenting view.

Of course I've been a bit soured to the whole project by the Regnum Christi marketing campaign, which was over-the-top at best, and shady/deceptive at worst.
Hey Clayton, we're ready to hear all opinions around here, especially when they're as polite as you are!
I haven't seen the film so can't really say one way or the other! :-)
