 > The whole idea of Screen-It is that you can figure out whether you WANT to see it and make an opinion for yourself.  I have a hard time believing they outright lied.  It wouldn't be one of the most useful and reputable movie web sites in existence if they did.  Their write-ups don't "make" anything "look like" anything -- they simply state for the record the potentially offensive material in the movie.  "The Cell" has actually raised a lot of eyebrows and concern in general and is becoming the next major example of evidence for the need of an 'A' (adult) rating -- more restrictive than 'R' but without the stigma of 'NC-17' that makes studios prefer to crop an artistic vision than receive one.  How come you even saw this movie?
 
 
 Screen-It?  I think I'll check that out.
 Sometimes I wonder why they need a rating system any way.  Couldn't they just list what is in the movie?  I see an R rating and I don't know if it's for violence, foul language, s&x, nudity or what.  Some of these things offend me greatly, some only a little, and some not at all. The R rating doesn't really tell me anything.
