So I was just browsing CAPalert.com...

I'm sure a few of you have happened upon this frankly ridiculous Christian movie website before, it specialises in turning genuinely good natured movies like Harry Potter into evil "work of the devil" propaganda. I actually find the place quite offensive, but hell, their reviews are bloody entertaining!

However, I've just happened upon quite a sinister (and ludicrous) statement whilst reading its sermon on family fun-packed movie Jurassic Park. Read the website's summary of the movie:

"Jurassic Park lost heavily in the area of Wanton Violence/Crime, particularly toward children. Specific examples of threats of death by being eaten by graphically realistic beasts saturate the majority of the show. Two instances of animals feeding on humans were also expensive to the Wanton Violence/Crime Score. Foul language, seemingly typical of PG-13 movies, pulled down the Impunity/Hate score of Jurassic Park(1). While foul language was present in the movie, so was the use of God's name in vain(2). No occurrences of Murder/Suicide or of Drugs/Alcohol were noted. Jurassic Park could have as well been titled "The Legs and Other Anatomy of Laura Dern." Of particular offense in the Sex/Homosexuality Investigation Area was inappropriate touching of a minor child by an adult. There is no need for any male actor, adult or otherwise, to touch the chest or groin area of a preteen girl, even in the name of Hollywood-style rescue -- this was not real life, it was a movie. Neither is there ever any need to reveal such a large portion of a preteen girl's breast as was seen twice in Jurassic Park".

I have absolutely no idea what the quoted writer is actually referring to here. No idea at all. Which movie did he see? If anything like that happens in JP then I must have been in the loo on every viewing I've ever had of it at those exact moments, because I've never seen any of the things he states in JP.

Now is it just me or is it perfectly reasonable to assume that only people of a certain persuasion actually notice, or even look for stuff like this in film, or any media for that matter? For some reason that website has just ceased to be a funny alternative for movie critique.

Forgive me for being blunt but when it comes to movies reviews I regard Christian review sites as ignorant because they are usually only concerned with whats proper in the eyes of God.

There is a scene at the end where Lex falls thru the vent in the air duct and Alan grabs her near her rear end to pull her up as the Raptor lunges at her.

Which was performed by a stunt double. Ariana Richards looking up at the camera is one of the first-ever face replacement shots, I believe.

Anyway, I can hardly see anything else happening to this thread than spinning wildly out of control into religious discussion.

Let's call it a precaution.
