found another good movie
Keith and I went to see The Great Debaters last night. It was really good. A movie that makes you think. I've been staring at the screen for the last 4 minutes trying to think of what to say to describe this movie, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't sound, for lack of a better word, silly. It's a movie that deals with racism and prejudices and, for a few minutes, helps you see what it was like back then. And makes you glad you live now. Anyway, a very good movie. Keith was afraid it was going to be dumb, but he liked it as well. I would totally recommend this movie to anyone, but I probably wouldn't take Amya to it. While there were hardly any swear words and one brief sex scene (brief as in like 5 seconds and they don't show anything) it's a movie that deals with racism and extreme hatred. There is a lynching scene that is hard to watch. I wouldn't want to expose her to that kind of hatred. Not that I don't ever want her to know about things like that, I just don't want her to see that now. My mom teases me about letting her watch X-Men and Spiderman, but that's pretend. This is real. And sad. (But still a good movie.) So anyway, don't take your kids, but go see this movie.

Sounds good, but I probably won't see it 'til it comes to the dollar movie or on DVD...
