Counter-espionage. Agents. Double agents. Only no 007. Just Tom Cruise as Agent Roy Miller. Or is it Matthew Knight?<BR><BR> A new battery has been invented by Simon Feck (Paul Dana). This battery is not an ordinary battery. It is about the size of the innards of a car cigarette lighter (and I suspect that is what the battery prop was). the new battery, called the Zephyr, is a tiny powerhouse. It could power a small city ... or a large submarine. A l-o-t of people are very interested in the battery. Spanish arms dealer Antonio Quintanna (Jordi Molia) for one. FBI Director George (Viola Davis) for another.<BR><BR> Trying to get through the airport security with the battery, Miller realized it would not get through undetected. Miller [intentionally] bumped into unsuspecting traveler, June Havens (Cameron Diaz) before passing through security and then again after passing through. How bumbling can one be? But, much to the ignorance of June, Miller used her to plant the battery in her luggage when he first bumped into her than retrieved it when he bumped into her the second time. June is now a co-agent whether she knows it or not.<BR><BR> At the boarding gate June was, at first, not allowed to board the plane because of over-booking. Moments later she was told a seat became available. But when she gets on the plane there are only about ten passengers, leaving a great deal of seats empty.<BR><BR> So, on board are Miller, June and about eight other people. After some small talk with Miller, she finds out what he does for a living. But I will not go into and more detail about the plot or story should you find this film acceptable after discovering what the CAP Analysis Model (the Findings/Scoring section) reveals about it.<BR><BR> <B>Wanton Violence/Crime (W) </B>- Zero out of 100<BR> The list of findings regarding the violence/crime content of the film is much too lengthy to try to discuss in this space. I ask that you visit the listing in the Findings/Scoring section for a full accounting of the violence/crime content of <I>Knight and Day</I>.<BR><BR> But because of the extent of violence in this film I will share with you at least one of God's admonitions against violence. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Prov. 16:29</A>] God speaks darkly and disapprovingly of violence 56 times from Genesis to revelation in the KJV Bible. Further, man has recently decided to chime in on God's Wisdom with "viewing violence may lead to real life violence."<BR><BR> <B>Impudence/Hate (I)</B> - 45 out of 100<BR> Seven uses of profanity is atypical lite for most PG-13 films. But 7 is 7 too many. As is the one use of the most foul of the foul words. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Col. 3:8</A>, <A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Eph. 5:4</A>, <A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Eph. 4:29</A>] Other than that, lying, "I want it NOW" and deceit by the airline tops off the impudent and/or hateful content of this film.<BR><BR> <B>Sexual Immorality (S)</B> - 65 out of 100<BR> While there are not as many sexually immoral behaviors as appear to be typical of PG-13s there are enough to lose about one third of the starting 100 points in this investigation area: self-touching; attention to privates; woman in underwear; scant swimsuit; a woman undressing a man and a man undressing a woman (both unseen); more. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">1 Thess. 4:1 - 5</A>]<BR><BR> <B>Drugs/Alcohol (D)</B> - 20 out of 100<BR> Aside from a splattering of booze and drinking, a number of druggings to control the victim are portrayed. While the booze and drinking indeed stole a few points from the starting 100 points of this investigation area, the druggings were very expensive to the area score.<BR><BR> <B>Offense to God (O)</B> - 10 out of 100<BR> One of Diaz's favorite expressions appears to be the three syllable sentence with God's name trailing it. Twenty five times His name was abused but all were without the four letter expletive. Whether His name is attached to an expression of dread and fear or to a two syllable expression, such use is blasphemous. And He does not like that. [<A HREF="#SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)">Deut. 5:11</A>]<BR><BR> <B>Murder/Suicide (M) </B>- 77 out of 100<BR> While there are a large number of killings, most were defensive killings and were not incorporated as murder but rather as violence in the Wanton Violence/Crime investigation area. However, three of the killings were indeed murder, two by gunfire and one by knife. While they were not the gory, dripping with blood, splatter-the-wall sort of killings, they were murder. <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>.

Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his [or her] own body [which includes control of drives, touching, seeking, lusting (even after images), crude talk, promiscuity, etc.] in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; [Be master of your body and urges, not a slave to them. Be not a seeker of any manner of sexually-oriented imagery or behavior outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage. For any sexual contact (including sight and sound), conduct or activity outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage is sinful.] <LI>Deut. 5:11 You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. [Vain is <I>shav</I> {shawv}: emptiness, nothingness, vanity, such as an expletive. With or without the four letter expletive, the use of God's name in any way other than respect, reverence or responsible discussion is in vain. That includes the popular three syllable sentence with His name trailing it AND the misuse of Jesus' name or title. So, trying to excuse such expressions with "I was talking TO God/Jesus when I said that" or "It's just words" or "I was acting" will not work with Him. Nor will "Everybody says that" excuse the sin of using His name in vain. If everyone on the planet who has ever drawn a breath used His name in vain, it would still be a sin to do so. If no one ever did, it would still be a sin to do so.] <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. [*men: <I>anthropos</I> {anth'-ro-pos}, generic, a human being, whether male or female] <LI>Matt. 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. <LI>Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Offend: <I>skandalizo</I> {skan-dal-id'-zo} - scandalize; to entice to sin; to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey; to cause to fall away.] <LI>Ps. 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me [let no sin rule over me]. <LI>John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. <LI>1 Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

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.

The first term is the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) rating. The second term [in brackets] indicates that which the film earned under the CAP analysis model. In the example, "PG-13 [R-13]" indicates the MPAA rated the film PG-13 but the film earned a CAP final score in the scoring range earned by R-rated movies in the comparative baseline database. Other comparative terms used might be "PG [13-PG]", "G [PG-G] or even 'PG-13 [PG]" as was the case for Alien vs Predator. I doubt there will ever be a "G [R]" used, but only time will tell. The CAP analysis model is Rock-solid. <A HREF="http://http://www.capalert.com/harvardagreeswithus.htm" target=_blank>The MPAA is not.</A><BR><BR> The current CAP to MPAA** nomenclature is:<BR><BR> <TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=1 CELLSPACING=1> <TR> <TD><FONT SIZE=1>For G rated Films with<BR> G equivalence: G<BR> PG equivalence: PG-G<BR> PG-13 equivalence: 13-G<BR> R equivalence: R-G<</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT SIZE=1>For PG rated Films with<BR> G equivalence: G-PG<BR> PG equivalence: PG<BR> PG-13 equivalence: 13-PG<BR> R equivalence: R-PG</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT SIZE=1>For PG-13 rated Films with<BR> G equivalence: G-13<BR> PG equivalence: PG(13)<BR> PG-13 equivalence: PG-13<BR> R equivalence: R-13</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT SIZE=1>For R rated Films with<BR> G equivalence: G-R<BR> PG equivalence: PG-R<BR> PG-13 equivalence: 13-R<BR> R equivalence: R</FONT></TD> <TD><FONT SIZE=1>For NR rated Films with<BR> G equivalence: G-NR<BR> PG equivalence: PG-NR<BR> PG-13 equivalence: 13-NR<BR> R equivalence: R-NR </FONT></TD> </TR> </TABLE> ** G, PG, PG-13 and R are registered trademarks of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).</FONT><BR> <BR> <CENTER<IMG width=100% height=2 border=0 SRC="http://www.capalert.com/images/bluline.jpg" ALT="Bluline divider"></CENTER><BR> <BR> <CENTER><font face="verdana"size=1><I>Copyright ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Ministry</I><BR>A Nonprofit Christian Ministry<BR> <BR> <font size="4"><A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/"><B>CAP HOME PAGE</B></A></font></CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
