I saw "Sicario, the Mexican hitman".
Not bad as an action flick with cool actors, moral components and ethical dilemmas, but still a big number of logical inconsistencies IMO. Also a number of disturbing scenes if you are sensible to that.

I have not yet seen that movie, but it looks definitely very interesting, and I will try to find a way to watch it.
Thanks for sharing!

As a former Roman Catholic, I have strange feelings about the child molestation scandals. It's like, you have negative feelings about a group of people. Then you find out they are even worse than you believed. It's kind of mind boggling.
I'm glad I got out before all these sex scandals came to light.

It was around 1969 or 1970. I left because I thought the RC Church's teachings about sex were crazy; that its teachings about birth control were a formula for massive starvation in the Third World; that what went on during the Middle Ages/Reformation period was corrupt and disgraceful (the Borgia popes, etc.); that the willingness to censor books, thought and science (e.g., Galileo) was an abomination, and on and on and on.
Roman Catholic child molestation unfortunately goes back a long way...
True, but it was not widely known. The first thing I think I read about this was the book Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children. That was published in 1992, and based on the scandal the author discovered in 1984. So these revelations are fairly recent.

I'll let you choose a better phrase to describe this if you want.
Ooooo...I would watch that. Seems right up my alley.

Never Let Me Go. I hadn't heard of this movie until I watched it. It was pretty good. I recommend it if you want something dramatic that isn't filled with explosions and special effects, but the subject matter can be a little dark.
The story would also appeal to me. I've never heard of this film neither.
There are so many films to watch but it seems like they always repeat the same old ones on the TV.
