But I say it not for the same reason. He said it about something someone did. I say it because of the caliber of <I>The Genius Club</I>. The profundity in it is sometimes ... er ... profound.<BR><BR> Seven people, all with IQs over 200 have been gathered along with President Holstrom (Jack Scalia) on Christmas Eve by Homeland Security Agent Brian Melhman (Huntley Ritter) to do intellectual battle with a lunatic, Armand (Tom Sizemore), who has decided to kill 500,000 people of Washington DC unless the geniuses can earn more than 1000 points in a game Armand is launching. The geniuses must solve the world's problems ... in one night. The geniuses will earn points for every solution they generate. If they earn more than 1000 points by 6:00 AM Armand will shut down a one megaton nuclear bomb he has planted in the basement of the building in which they have gathered. If the geniuses do not earn more than 1000 points, 500,000 people: all the citizens; all the workers; all the politicians; all seven of the geniuses and the President -- will die. And so will Armand.<BR><BR> The story presents some intriguing and thought-provoking answers to the world's problems but I will not reveal any of them (except one) should you decide that, after knowing the content we expose, this film is fit for your audience. <BR><BR> The seven geniuses upon whom the future of the world rests are:<BR><BR> - Jacob Chernov (Jacob Bonnema), ex-lawyer now seminary student, IQ: of 214<BR> - Edward Lee (Philip Moon), Yale professor of economics, IQ: 220<BR> - Ally Simon (Tricia Helfer), painter dying of inoperable brain cancer, IQ: 221<BR> - Tatiana Williams (Paula Jai Parker), Biochemist, IQ: 219<BR> - Julia Endersol (Carol Abney), casino owner, IQ: 211<BR> - Jose Delgado (Matt Medrano), professional baseball player, IQ: 217<BR> - Rory Johnson (Stephen Baldwin), pizza delivery man, IQ: 229 (which later in the film jumps to 234)<BR><BR> I promised above that I would not reveal any of the thought-provoking answers the story presents to the world's problems ... except one. Below is the "except one."<BR><BR> Ally came up with "We still have war because no one has learned to forgive. All of us are the world's problem." It would seem to me that Ally's response that we need to learn to forgive was indeed the answer to all the world's problems but the story is a little more complex than that. In reality, do you not think that if forgiveness were on everyone's heart that all the world's problems would fade and eventually evaporate? Food for thought.<BR><BR> The ilk of this film is indeed dark and sinister; is of extortion and coercion to perform with a threat of thousands being killed as the consequence of noncompliance. With a final score of 71 <I>The Genius Club</I> is PG-equivalent but is a hard PG to be sure. The score of 71 places the content of the film in the PG-equivalence range of 68 to 86 out of 100 but not very high on that scale.<BR><BR> <I>The Genius Club</I> is not a check-your-brain-at-the-door, Saturday night flick. Some awareness of the world and its workings, inter- and inner-, will be helpful in understanding what the film has to say. <BR><BR> <B>Wanton Violence/Crime (W)</B> - Zero out of 100<BR> Regarding the CAP analysis of this film one must accept that hundreds of "lesser" assaults on morality and decency can equal the influential magnitude of fewer but more severe and intense assaults. Indeed, many lesser assaults can be more influential and damaging than a few severe assaults. This is the case with the violence content of <I>The Genius Club</I>. Because of the sheer number of the "lesser" assaults such as screaming anger at someone and physically expressing anger [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Col. 3:8</A>], the magnitude of the violence content of <I>The Genius Club</I> was equivalent to the magnitude of the violence content of some R-rated films. The scoring range for R-equivalent films in the comparative baseline database is 54 and below out of 100. <I>The Genius Club</I> earned a zero in this investigation area.<BR><BR> The feature the CAP Analysis Model to be able identify and quantify the concentration of assaults on morality in any one or more investigation areas as shown above is one of the many great features of the CAP Analysis Model. <BR><BR> One of the properties of violence is that it can be and sometimes is "catching" and can lead the one exposed "into the way <I>that is</I> not good." [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Prov. 16:29</A>] Indeed, scientific man has finally come around to, whether intentional or even aware of it, agreeing with God. <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>Four professional public health agencies</A> jointly found that violence in and as entertainment indeed is "catching": that "Viewing violence may lead to real life violence." But do we listen?<BR><BR> <B>Impudence/Hate (I)</B> - 71 out of 100<BR> While there are no completed uses of profanity or profane phrases noted in the entire 114 minutes of the show, there are a number of muffled, abbreviated and/or incomplete uses of profanity. Since such practices cause the profane term to form in the head of the observer any such uses are considered by the CAP Analysis Model the same as completed profanity. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Eph. 5:4</A>] What I call secretive denial such as in ordering someone to lie, for example "what you saw did not happen", is used. Baldwin is seen wearing a nose ring throughout the film and is strongly rude repeatedly. <BR><BR> <B>Sexual Immorality (S)</B> - 100 out of 100<BR> There was noted not a shred of content related even remotely to sexually immoral behaviors. Not even a sexual innuendo. <BR><BR> <B>Drugs/Alcohol (D)</B> - 82 out of 100<BR> Three times Professor Lee is seen with a cigarette. One reference to a bar and its bartender was used in one of the riddles the geniuses had to solve. One commercial for beer was seen.<BR><BR> <B>Offense to God (O) </B>- 59 out of 100<BR> God's name was used in vain only once throughout the entire show and then without the four letter expletive. People were called "fool" thrice. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Matt. 5:22</A>] One scene mocked Jesus as He carried the Cross to Golgotha [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Gal. 6:7</A>] and a sequence of monologues belittle Christianity. Johnson equated Christianity with vanity and commercialism. Johnson may have been right about today's Christianity, but today's Christianity is not Christ. Through the years man has besmirched Christianity and has counterfeited it and applied situational ethics, convenience interpretations and conditional redefinitions to it. all to fill his own belly [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Rom. 16:17 - 18</A>].<BR><BR> Several times characters blamed God for their woes but the most faith-based "criminal" statement was made by Armand when he said "Jesus Christ was a good teacher but He was far from God", denying that which Jesus told us Himself. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">John 10:30</A>, <A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">John 14:9</A>]<BR><BR> <B>Murder/Suicide (M)</B> - 91 out of 100<BR> Armand admits to detonating a nuclear bomb on an island, killing thousands. <BR> <BR> <BR> <A NAME="SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)"></A> <FONT SIZE="1"><CENTER>ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</CENTER><FONT SIZE="3"><BR><BR> <B><FONT FACE="verdana"><FONT SIZE=3>SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)</B><BR> If needed to focus or fortify, applicable text is <U>underlined</U> or bracketed [ ] or <B>bold</B>.

[The issue is the violence, the 'way that is not good' no matter how "small" or "justified" the violence might seem, and its "leading" effect on the observer. "A violent man" ["man" here is <I>enowsh</I> {en-oshe"}: man (collective), mortal, person, mankind; contracted for <I>iysh</I> {eesh}: whosoever, each] can be any character of any age, any gender, human or not since the cinematic display is at the hands men and women, in the act of committing (demonstrating in the case of entertainment) violent behavior/action whether for good or evil or the violent behaviors/actions themselves. Such exposure can and does embolden the viewer into aggression, especially youth. It took years for American professional health community to finally affirm, probably without knowing it, that which God told us in 1 Cor. 15:33 below. See also <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>Joint Statement on the Impact of Entertainment Violence on Children: Congressional Public Health Summit</A> for more information. Further, God speaks darkly of violence 56 times in the Old and New Testament of the KJV.] <LI>Eph. 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. <LI>Matt. 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment [<I>krisis:</I> accusation, trial]: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca [senseless, empty headed: a term of reproach among Jews at the time of Christ], shall be in danger of the council [any session or assembly or people deliberating or adjudicating]: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool [<I>moros:</I> impious, godless], shall be in danger of hell fire. <LI>Gal. 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. <LI>Rom. 16:17 - 18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. <LI>John 10:30 I and my Father are one. <LI>John 14:9 ...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father... <BR><BR> ***Selected Scriptures of Armour against the influence of the entertainment industry***<BR> <LI>Jer. 37:9 This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, 'The Babylonians [the destroyers from within] will surely leave us.' They will not! <LI>Ps. 12:8 The wicked freely strut about [e.g., create progressively vile/offensive entertainment with impunity and no consequences and present it to younger and younger audiences every year] when what is vile is honored among men [when enough people continue to defend it, embrace it, enjoy it, want it, submit to it. I call attention to Ps. 12:8 to warn of the creeping desensitizing power of "entertainment."] <LI>Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man [by his influence] spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. <LI>1 Cor. 15:33 Be not deceived: evil [<I>kakov</I>: of a bad nature, not such as it ought to be] communications corrupt good manners. <LI>Rom. 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. <LI>Jude 1:4 For there are certain men* crept in unawares [secretly slipped in among us], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation [whose condemnation was written about long ago], ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness [a license for immorality], and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I applaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>rest of the story</A>. From our years of study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer.
