American Sniper

For those of you who have not seen it, go! It is a fantastic movie, full of poignant moments. There are combat scenes, but the bigger picture is just how damaging combat is on the soul.

I expect Hollywood to disregard it in the Oscars, but the people have already voted with their dollars. My wife and I went with another couple and they all came out sober. It was the quietest I have seen a theatre at the end of a movie.

I have GOT to see this. Planning on taking taking my teenage son with me.

It's R-rated, but nothing there he can't handle really. Some of the home scenes get slightly risque, but nothing like what you see elsewhere. The violence is basic combat. Blood, but not gory.

You will be impressed.

Good to know, thanks.

Even with the "R" rating, I think it's important that teenagers see films like this.

I need to go watch it.
