Alatáriël Lossëhelin--

Good to see you again!

I normally can't stand R-rated movies. But I like Ash Wednesday, much to my husband's horror. Although R-rated this one IS essentially about self-sacrifice, and about placing your brother's life above your own, and about redeemption.

The use of the F-word is city life. I don't like it either. But it's not much worse than the college dorm useage...

Although Elijah did seem out of place,in a way, still I like the movie and I like his acting in it. Maybe I find his innocence (naivete) refreshing. I think that's why I have avoided "All I Want" (Try Seventeen) like the plague, since it's all about LOSS of innocence.
