I am a fan of the Zombie genre. I saw Dawn of the Dead last night (Stay for the end credits). If that's your sort of thing, I highly recommend it. Fast, funny and extremly violent.     And that's ...a good thing.

Long before the Passion opened I was anxious to see it, having been a fan of Mels and feeling that Braveheart was an achievment in direction. But as the release drew near this film took on a whole life of its own. My feeling now is that you could not get me into the theater. Too much outside opinion has seeped into any chance of objectivity I might have had going in. I'll rent it, but mostly for curiosity sake.

I did wrestle with myself a bit wondering why I so readily embrace a violent zombie film yet reject the equally violent Passion. I guess its not the violence I crave but the escape. That's why I go to films. I think I'm afraid that I'd spend the whole Passion film questioning my merits as a human being. I liike my relationship with God just the way it is thank you.

Anybody else wrestle with even going to see the Passion??
