Romance: How much romance? How much love? What kindsa love?
Action: Was there any action? What kinda action?
Cultural Insignificance: How well the film avoided tackling social issues, allowing for an enjoyable escapist "event."
1. Dirty Dancing:
R: 10: This is a sex movie. Dancing is used to show sex. Sex is used to show sex. The sex was divided into two categories: evil sex that gets you pregnant, and hot sex with Patrick Swayze.
A: 2: Some people get all riled up when a girl gets knocked up.
C: 1: Awful escapism. 1 girl has an abortion. The film tries to portray the early 1960s as a time when everything-is-about-to -change.
2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day:
R: 4: some naked dudes @ the begining. One girl gets her clothes burned off by a nuclear bomb, but you can't see anything. John Conner and T2 have a lil "bromance."
A: 10: motorcycles and bombs and guns and robots.
C: 3: this movie says "robots can feel, and they can teach us how to love the world, because we don't, because we created nukes." can't enjoy the robots and guns and bombs and motorcycles with all that going on.
17/30
3. Race to Witch Mountain:
R: 6: The ROCK falls for some scientist and even tries to learn some of her science for her. He also finds a 'soft spot' for two teenagers who are actually aliens. The love is innocent, but real.
A: 10: they race to witch mountain and there are EXPLOSIONS everywhere!!
C: 10: This movie doesn't say anything about our society. It allowed me to enjoy it's action without telling me how bad a person I am.
