"Columbine convinced me to tell a hard story. I wanted to end the sixth season of Grey’s Anatomy with a hospital shooting, but I was worried about the portrayal of violence and how to convey the deeper message to the audience. Then I came across this book by Dave Cullen. Reading it broke my heart open. It’s not about a shooting as much as it’s about what happens to people who survive this kind of tragedy. It’s written with a raw honesty that helped me glimpse the emotional toll this kind of event can have. Anyone concerned about gun violence in schools should consider it required reading."

"Oh, The Godfather. If it gets any better than that… I mean, it’s so beautifully shot. I’m not a fan of violent movies, but that one is such an epic film. The violence is part and parcel of the story they’re telling, so, it’s legitimate. In a weird way, I find there’s no gratuitous violence in it. Even though there’s a lot of shooting in that thing, every time there’s a shootout, I found it upsetting and horrifying as opposed to films which just trade on mowing human beings down. Those I find pornographic and not sad. I think it does damage to our society, personally."

"This was the present I gave everyone I knew for three years. It’s six different stories told in different time periods and genres: One is historical fiction, another is a ’70s thriller mystery, the sixth is a post­apocalyptic story. It’s one of the most beautiful, entertaining, challenging books—something that takes all your attention. I think the stories are meditations on violence, specifically the necessity of violence. The book ends with a beautiful exchange: ‘…only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean! Yet what is an ocean but a multitude of drops."

I love Keanu Reeves, so I'm all over everything he's ever been in. John Wick kind of came out of nowhere. The violence is beautifully choreographed. I will say, I've only watched it once, because the dog situation is so completely upsetting, I can't bear to watch it again.

Movie Rating
A really good animated film that takes full use of its PG-13 rating through violence and action. [Updated] Now that I have seen Part 2 I'm upping this a half a star. This part is the superior of the two despite the "heavy hitters" in Part 2.

Good humor and a positive message. (0 more)
It was a very cute movie. It had very good humor for a kids movie, even if some was a little grown up.( "I call it 50 shades of yay"). It also had a positive message about not using violence in a conflict.
