Reviews
for January 2006
Underworld:
Evolution (R) (2006) (Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman)
*Passes
the trigger test!
The New
World (PG-13) (2005) (Colin Farrell, Q'Orianka Kilcher)
*Passes
the trigger test! By the way, Kudos to the director for not showing rape
scenes in this movie.
The Matador
(R) (2005) (Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear)
*Passes
the trigger test! However,there is a brief scene in which a man lusts
after an underage child. Scene is played for laughs.
Looking
For Comedy in the Muslim World (PG-13) (2006) (Albert Brooks, Sheetal
Sheth)
*Passes
the trigger test!
END OF THE
SPEAR (2006) (Chad Allen, Louie Leonardo) (PG-13)
*Passes
the trigger test! However, a brief scene occurs in which a tribeswoman
looks down the pants of a boy to make sure that he is a boy. No harm is
intended by doing so.

*Passes
the trigger test!
Hoodwinked
(PG) (2005) (voices of Anne Hathaway, Glenn Close)

Grandma's
Boy (R) (2006) (Allen Covert, Linda Cardellini)
*Passes
the trigger test!
Hostel
(R) (2006) (Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson)
*Passes
the trigger test, but just barely. A drugged woman is vrought into a room
by a group of men, and one man speaks up and says that they can't have
sex with a drugged woman. There are dominatrix style sex scenes which
are graphic. There is plenty of sadistic torture, but to my knowledge,
nothing sexual happens in these scenes. There are plenty of abduction
and bondage scenes. A man comes on to another man and he is very uncomfortable
with it, but nothing else happens. All of these may be disturbing to some
viewers who've been in similar situations.
Match Point
(R) (2005) (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Scarlett Johansson)
*Passes
the trigger test!
Breakfast
on Pluto (R) (2005) (Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson)
*Passes
the trigger test! However, there is one scene in which a male prostitute
dressed in drag gos to be with a john and he attemps to strangle him,
but does not succeed. Some myay be disturbed by this quick shift from
sexual expectation to violence.
Transamerica
(R) (2005) (Felicity Huffman, Kevin Zegers)
*Fails the trigger test.
Cheaper
by the Dozen 2 (PG) (2005) (Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt)

Fun with
Dick & Jane (PG-13) (2005) (Jim Carrey, Téa Leoni)
*Passes
the trigger test!
Munich
(R) (2005) (Eric Bana, Geoffrey Rush)
*Usure...
Someone will have to let me know! What I do know is that there are abduction
scenes, that may bother some viewers. Also, a woman who is an assasin
is about to be killed for murdering someone. She exposes her breasts in
an atempt to stop them from killing her. I am usure whether or not she
does this of her own free will or if they are forcing her to do this.
She is ultimately killed by them...

Brokeback
Mountain (R) (2005) (Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger)
*Passes
the trigger test! However, is a sex scene in which a man starts to make
out with another man, The other man seems resisitant at first, and pushes
him away, but then wants the situation to proceed. Some may be disturbed
by this initial resistance.
The Family

Moseley, Tilda Swinton)

Syriana
(R) (2005) (George Clooney, Jeffrey Wright)
*Passes the trigger test! However, for those
that are sensitive to such scenes, this movie does include scenes of abduction
and torture (non-sexual) of an adult male.
AEON FLUX
(2005) (Charlize Theron, Martin Csokas) (PG-13)
*Passes the trigger test! However, during
an exam, a woman isartificially impregnated. I'm not sure if this is her
wish or if she even knows what's going on. The scene has potential to
disturb viewers, so be careful.
FIRST DESCENT
(2005) (Documentary) (PG-13)
*Passes the trigger test!
THE SQUID
AND THE WHALE (2005) (Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney) (R)
*Fails the trigger test.
THE ICE
HARVEST (2005) (John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton) (R)
*Passes the trigger test! However, this seems
to be a pretty skanky movie with some scenes in a strip club that are
borderline (involves a man touching a stripper while she dances- she may
or may not be OK with it. If anyonesees this and finds out, let me know
please!).
In the Mix
(PG-13) (2005) (Usher, Emmanuelle Chriqui)
*Passes the trigger test! However, for those
that are senisitive to such scenes, a woman is bound, gagged and held
hostage, but nothing sexual happens.
JUST FRIENDS
(2005) (Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart) (PG-13)
*Passes the trigger test! However, there's
ascene in which a woman shoots a taser at a man's crotch. I'm not sure
if this is a violent act though- the scene was described as if it could
have been a strange form of sex play.

PRIDE &
PREJUDICE (2005) (Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfayden) (PG)
*Passes the trigger test! However, a 15 year
old girl runs off to marry an adult man. This blurs the borders of statutory
rape, although that I think that during the time period the movie was
set in, the age of consent was much lower or nonexistent (not that this
makes it any more right!).

*Passes the trigger test! However,some underage

Hustle &
Flow (2005) (Terrence Howard, Anthony Anderson) (R)
*Passes
the trigger test! However, viewers should be aware that the entire movie
is about a pimp, so we see lots of potentially upsetting material regarding
his attitude towards women, the customers' attitudes towrds women, how
the prostitutes are treated, and so one. No sexual assault occurs and
it is not talked about.
(Isn't it weird tht a movie about pimps and hookers doesn't mention sexual
assault, but a kid's or teen's movie like Bad News Bears does? Hmmm....)
