Film and Panel Discussion to Examine America's Public Education System

Is that a great headline or what? I dare you not to read this column by Jeff Edelstein of The Trentonian.

Here's the start of Edelstein's column:

If there's a better metaphor for Generation X's sputtering start as the future leaders of America than Jennifer Aniston and her naked breasts, well, I don't know what it is.

Yep. A topless Jennifer Aniston is a shiny, bright example of where this country headed, and I believe it's a good place.

See, Aniston co-stars in the dark comedy "Horrible Bosses," a movie coming out July 8. And for the first time in her career, she filmed nude scenes. As of this moment, the director and studio heads at Warner Bros. have not publicly revealed their decision as to whether or not Aniston's naked chest will stay in the picture.

Well, without putting too fine a point on it, I believe the forward progress of this country may in fact depend on whether or not Aniston's nude scenes make the final cut.

AARP The Magazine Honors the Best Movies for the 50 Audience With Movies for Grownups(R) Awards

It was one of the biggest box-office hits of 2008, but you probably never heard of the movie because of its Christian-based themes.

Produced for $500,000, the film "Fireproof" grossed $33 million at the box office, making it one of the most profitable films of the year.

It's still playing in some theaters, but you have an opportunity to see the movie for free thanks to a Berks County church.

Exeter Bible Church, located off Route 422 near Birdsboro, is offering a free screening of "Fireproof" on Sunday, Jan. 11, at 6 p.m. The film is rated PG.

The church is also planning to launch a "Fireproof" Group Study on Jan. 25 through March.

Here's a synopsis of the film from the church's Web site:

Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story. After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare. While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?

"An American Carol," David Zucker's dead-on spoof of Hollywood liberals, led by Michael Moore, makes its DVD debut on Tuesday.

It's a little late for a stocking stuffer, but the film, starring Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer and Jon Voight, is worth buying.

Another far-left film flops.

Despite opening in more than 2,000 theaters, Oliver Stone's "W" tanked at the box-office, raking in $10.5 million over the weekend. The movie cost $30 million to make.

And most movies take in half of their opening gross the following weekend and continue to slide. That means "W" will not even recover its production costs in theaters.

Critics hated the movie and American film-goers decided to stay away in droves.

Oliver Stone makes really good movies ("Platoon," "Wall Street," "JFK") or he makes really bad movies ("Natural Born Killers," "The Doors," "Alexander).

"W" is a really bad movie.
