I saw it myself and thought it was worth watching but if your gunna make a movie above Jesus Christ our Lord why don't you do as the old woman did in the bible and give all her possesions to someone who needed them more even though she had so little herself whereas the greedy rich man only gave some pennies. Some times the smallest donations can mean the world.

Just wanted to post this in reference to this quote...
"Gibson Donates 'Passion' Profits to Hospitals
Movie star Mel Gibson has donated a staggering $5 million from the proceeds of hit film The Passion Of The Christ to help underprivileged children. Gibson split the sum between Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital. The money will specifically help pediatric patients from poor countries where the necessary medical care isn't available or affordable. A source close to the 48-year-old say he also donated in excess of $1.5 million to cover the 23-hour operation to separate conjoined twins Maria De Jesus and Maria Teresa Quiej Alvarez at UCLA in 2002."
I just saw this and thought I'd post it that's all.
But to keep this thread on topic....
I still haven't seen:
Passion of the Christ - Don't really care to either
8 Mile - Would like to at some point.
The Royal Tenenbaums - Being a Ben Stiller fan I do want to see this.
Starksy & Hutch - Really must get around to seeing this.
Elf - Do want to see this.
And Loads others which I can't think of right now.
The main reason I haven't seen alot of films that I want to is due to the fact I can't afford to go to the cinema too often so alot of films get missed, and there's no Blockbusters nearby so I never really rent stuff, so I usually have to wait till there on the tv!
