Hahah, it was that hideous and amazing actress who just won an Oscar; she played Gabriel. Personally, I'd rather have my children watch things intended for children. Although, Ezra does love him some Squidbillies: "You been stalked by a <i>man</i> this day!" The angel was androgynous, not a hermaphrodite!

The sad thing I don't actually remember much about the movie at all - other than some kind of fight in a pool or something at the end and a hermaphrodite angel. I think I thought it was at least decent though. I don't have any problems with people believing in angels/demons, I just have a problem with that being a valid criteria for judging movie ratings (although, as Josh implied, there are probably even stupider ones). Also, were I to believe in either, I would rather my children see movies with them than with people/people-like things getting all mangled and bloody (not that I'm not going to show the kids LotR...I'm just saying! ;) ). re: Catholic vs. Christian: While I concede that in general, Catholic mythology is much richer, in this case I was just talking about angels & demons, which falls under both umbrellas.

Though, for the record, it's Catholic mythology, not Christian. Oh, and Constantine is hands down one of the most awesome movies of my life.

Cute. Secondly, I wouldn't euphemize by saying "I believe demons are real" either. You can infer that it's my belief by the fact that it'd be coming out of my mouth. So, yeah, that's probably where the guy got "are".
