CBS NEWS ANCHOR REVIEWS

CBS NEWS ANCHOR REVIEWS 'THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST' If you are a Christian - even if you're not - I think you ought to read this. It is an absolutely riveting account of the movie. I have never read a review so intense. It is stunning in its depth and gravity. Makes me feel unworthy to even view this film!

Forwared to all contacts. Truly the makings of an American classic. Too bad it will not be shown in muslim countries. We could easily convert them with this movie and lead them away from their evil lucifer worshiping ways.

or quoted :

Muslims treat Jesus as a prophet too. It is just that Christians reject the prophet Mohammed. They worship Jehovah/Allah same as you do.

Jesus himself called God 'al-lah'

How about screening it in... Jerusalem????????????

The only 'show' you're going to see in Jerusalem will happen when the Mossad kidnaps Mel Gibson and Jim Cazeviel, and Ariel Sharon puts the both of them in a glass booth to stand trial for 'crimes against the Talmud'...oops! I mean, 'crimes against humanity.'

Finally, a review that does justice.

Do you really need the news media to tell you what to think?

NEW YORK (AFP) - One of the most talked about films of recent years, Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Curly,' depicts Jerome 'Curly' Howard's final 12 hours on earth and, by Gibson's own admission, includes several hours' worth of extremely graphic and violent images of Curly being repeatedly slapped, poked in the eye, conked on the head, and other forms of torture at the hands of fellow Stooges, Moe and Larry.

Industry insiders have predicted an opening week take of up to 30 million dollars. Those figures are all the more extraordinary given that just one year ago Gibson was struggling to find a distributor for a film that boasts no big-name stars and dialogue lifted entirely from 1930s Columbia two-reelers. And, in what appears to be an omen, the lead actor was struck by a pie during filming.

Controversy has focused on charges, mostly levelled by Shemp fan clubs and strongly denied by Gibson, that the movie somehow blames Shemp for Curly's death and will fuel anti-Shemp sentiment.

Those accusations have to an extent been buttressed by unguarded comments from Gibson's father, Hutton Gibson, claiming that the success of Shemp's career as a character actor independent of the Three Stooges is greatly exaggerated and that there is a conspiracy aimed at proving that Shemp was really a more talented, funnier Stooge than the others.

Gibson and his father are both Traditionalists, who have never accepted the various reforms which, among other things, led to Shemp, Joe Besser and 'Curly' Joe DeRita being named Stooges.

Gibson has staunchly defended himself and the film against the charges, insisting that he had never intended to trigger a 'blame game' over responsibility for Curly's death. 'Curly was beaten for our enjoyment,' Gibson said. 'He was wounded for our laughter and by laughing at his wounds we are comforted and healed. That's the point of the film. It's not about pointing fingers
