In The Mood for Quality Entertainment? Good Luck with That!!

I like to check out the website ROTTEN TOMATOES for movie reviews because it gives scores based on a lot of movie critics. If a movie receives over 60% positive reviews, it is certified as "fresh" and worth considering.

If the movie receives under 60% positive reviews, it is certified ROTTEN. This week (3/16) I thought it funny (and a bit telling of Hollywood's ability to produce films of consistent quality) how the current top grossing films at the box office rated with Rotten Tomato critics.

Here is the list and their ratings:
Well, "The Lorax" almost made it into the fresh category!

Check out what some are calling the lowest rating movie of all time: Eddie Murphy in A THOUSAND WORDS:http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a-thousand-words/ OUCH!

Philippians 4:18 reminds us: Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. From this week's list of top grossing movies, doing this might prove difficult in your local theater.

What's a discerning person to do? Hmmm...what about a good book!? Hey, what about picking up THE GOOD BOOK!
