'Akeesha and the Bee' nice family movie...

I have just watched Tom Hanks in Ladykillers for the second time. Tom does a great job, but the obscene language used by (mostly) the black actor who is part of Tom's team, gets in the way of being able to truly enjoy the movie. Does anyone else think that the language is over the top? It is a shame, because if you can ignore the bad language, it is quite a funny film.

I don't remember the bad language, but I liked that movie.

You presumable had no problem with the multiple murders, the lying, deceit, and theft in that film, but the bad language bothered you. Must be because you felt the impact of the bad language yourself, but the murders, etc. were happening to other (fictional) people. Still, it's interesting what different people find offensive.

You must be deaf.

The murders did not bother me because it is a black comedy. I guess that watching years of CSI and Law & Order have anaesthetised my senses somewhat.

Wicker Man (remake)

(thought the original was better, society of the island made more sense, was more balanced, and hey, Christopher Lee was in the Original. I also liked Edward Woodward's Officer Howie better than Nicholas Cage's attempt to be intense, especially when it came to the religious aspects of the story.)
