Critics Consensus: The graphic details of Jesus' torture make the movie tough to sit through and obscure whatever message it is trying to convey.

Movie Info
This depiction of the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus opens with his betrayal by Judas, his condemnation by the Pharisees and his appearance before Pontius Pilate. Pilate defers to King Herod, but Herod returns Jesus. Pilate then asks the crowd to choose between Jesus and Barrabas. The crowd chooses Barrabas. Pilate washes his hands of the matter, and Jesus is forced to carry the cross through the streets to Golgotha where Roman soldiers crucify him. Although Jesus briefly fears that God, his … More

LoginCritic Reviews for The Passion of the Christ
All Critics (267) | Top Critics (51) | Fresh (131) | Rotten (136) | DVD (34)
Extremely violent, and powerful; for mature teens.
Gibson's passion is all over this film...but his resorting to mawkish, superficial tactics blows the tone off-course from time to time.
With a passionate zeal and the budget to back it, Mel Gibson has created a religious epic which is equally unique, inspirational, and repellent.
The film's lack of discretion robs the viewer of his or own conception of Christ's crucifixion. It is an exploitative disservice to "the greatest story ever told," that reduces that illustrious narrative to an extended torture episode.
It's a shame there isn't a good movie deep down in this excuse for gore and sadism.
All [Gibson has] done...is to trade in the Hollywood conventions of yesteryear for the crasser, more bloodthirsty conventions of today.
I emerged from The Passion of the Christ depressed and spiritually bruised.
More sensational than spiritual, this blood-soaked take on the Stations of the Cross retells the Gospels as a horror movie. You can't help asking: where has all the love gone?
If I were a Christian, I'd be appalled to have this primitive and pornographic bloodbath presume to speak for me.
For a filmmaker who wants to create an adaptation of the story of Jesus, Mel Gibson's motives seem ironically impure.
Easily the most controversial film of the year, Gibson's fil is a visually bold, relentlessly violent epos that suffers from a shallow, undernourished narrative and no characterizations to speak of.
By giving us the feeling of experiencing Jesus' thoughts, and by making us privy to his prayers, The Passion draws us toward Christ's full humanity like no film before.
Mr. Gibson has plucked at the rawest of nerves yet I cannot blame him. He is expressing himself through the medium of film and using the text of his bible as the basis.
Director Gibson tends toward populist impulses without much artistry or invention; he prefers bombardment to poetry.
A tormented movie about torment; loopy, over-reaching and occasionally suspicious. Simultaneously, it is a daring artistic endeavour.
A negative and spiritually underwhelming experience.
Incredibly intense, unflichingly realistic and powerfully moving...One of the all-time great cinematic achievements...God bless Mel Gibson.
One of the best films of this middle-aged decade.
This most human of tales is sadly lacking humanity.
Audience Reviews for The Passion of the Christ
Unnecessary and gimicky. Is speaking throughout the movie in Latin and Aramaic somehow supposed to make the viewer feel closer to Christ? I wouldn't expect much more from a director with a bias against the people depicted in the film.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Criative and the best work by Mel Gibson in direction. We could see that the actors, and Gibson and Fitzgerald are a moving and an unique portrait of Jesus Christ. I understand and support the criative expression of filmmakers, after all, it's the seventh art, I also understand, what Gibson try recreate and show to the audience. But when, he show Passion's message, all the gore violence obscure Jesus' last hours and Mel's attempt of evangelize flaw. The Passion of the Christ, it's one of the most controversal and hard-to-watch movie that I ever saw. Rotten.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Mel Gibson is an amazing film maker, his direction and visual style is breathtakingly realistic but surprisingly he doesn't offer any primary lessons to this narratively flimsy but strangely overwhelming story. What disturbs me the most about Passion of The Christ, other than the fact it's one of the most violent films i've ever seen and the subject matter at hand, is that I actually quite enjoyed it. From the technical side of things, it's breathtaking. The most being the incredibly done cinematography and Jim Caviezel's inspirational performance as the titiluar messiah. Jesus' torture I suspect will be difficult for some to digest but it is often exploitive to the audience as much as Christ. Due in most part to the fact it's a religious figure being tortured, and expecting us to know the back story already to establish an emotional connection without being given a character insight pre to the gory exploitation sequences. However even though the film has unbelievably very little substance, maybe it leaves the moral for us as an audience to decide, and I stand by my own opinion that it's a film about ambition and hope.
Super Reviewer
Passion of the Christ is actually an average film with good acting. I enjoyed the film, but didn't think it was a masterpiece. Jim Caviezel portrays Jesus Christ, and gives us a great performance. However the film is very violent as it shows the final hours in the life of Jesus Christ.. Compared to Gibson's Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, this film is not as great as that one. Passion of the Christ plays out like a two hours torture flick more than anything. The film doesn't offer anything new in terms of telling is Jesus Christ's final hours, as we've all heard what happened a million time over. The cast do a great job, and the film is harrowing and difficult to watch. I liked the film, but I don't see it as a flawless film like so many people have seen this. The Passion of the Christ is a good film, but I felt that it was a hard film to watch because of the graphic violence. Despite my opinions on this film, I thought this was a well acted and directed film. For those looking for a good historical film, then this is your film. Passion of the Christ is a hard film to watch that is brilliantly acted, but as a whole, it didn't really stand out as an epic film. The film is worth watching, but like I previously stated, is one that will make you feel uncomfortable due to how violent it is. Not one of Mel Gibson's best films, but definitely not his worst, Passion of the Christ is a film that will have an effect on you no matter what religious convictions you have.

Diana Thater
Museum of Modern Art
11 West 53d Street
Through Nov. 10
Some consider Diana Thater one of today's most important video artists. Based in Los Angeles, she makes dryly academic, deceptively casual works involving animal and nature imagery. This installation, called ''The Best Animals Are the Flat Ones'' after a gnomic remark by the French theorist Gilles Deleuze, is typical in being more interesting conceptually than visually.
At the center of the darkened room a short, silent film of an animal trainer putting a zebra through a series of unremarkable tricks is projected onto a makeshift wooden screen. Filling the walls at either end of the room are dim, blurry fields of undulating, multicolored stripes, which you come to realize belong to a herd of zebras. And standing haphazardly next to the wooden screen, two monitors, one on top of the other, broadcast views of a forest lighted by floodlights.
Ms. Thater is toying with modernist esthetics, her title an ironic reference to the formalist theory of the critic Clement Greenberg. Projecting the film onto a free-standing screen, she points up the paradoxical duality of filmed (or painted) imagery: its flatness and its illusionistic space. The wall projections are like big, flat field paintings, the boxy monitors containers of illusory depth. And if you think of the zebra as a kind of living stripe painting, its training becomes an allegory about painting in which natural instincts are culturally harnessed.
Intellectually intriguing this may be, but the dull projections and the disjointed composition of the whole make it less than captivating as visual or theatrical experience. KEN JOHNSON

Pain Management and Physical Therapy
In this article
Sometimes pain treatment can be accomplished through physical therapy. Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, involves the treatment, healing, and prevention of injuries or disabilities. PT helps to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore function and movement.
PT is practiced by a professionally trained physical therapist under the referral of a doctor. A physical therapist is a specialist skilled and educated specifically in proper rehabilitation.
5 Common Pain and Pain Relief Myths
Great strides have been made in the understanding of pain and its treatment in the last decade. Pain that was once considered hopeless is now manageable. Medical evidence proves that many of the beliefs about pain and pain relief are false. Here's what experts say you should know about five of the most common pain relief myths.
Read the 5 Common Pain and Pain Relief Myths article > >
How Is Physical Therapy Used to Treat Pain?
A therapist may focus on decreasing pain with either passive or active therapy. Examples of passive physical therapy include:
- Heat/ice packs
- TENS units
- Ultrasound
Examples of active physical therapy include:
- Stretching
- Strengthening exercises
- Pain relief exercises
- Low-impact aerobic conditioning
Points to Consider
An important aspect to keep in mind about physical therapy is that it is individualized to meet each person's individual needs. Each person may respond differently to therapy. People have different types of bodies, different patterns of movement, different alignments, and different habits. Physical therapists and their trained staff can monitor each individual and develop a program to correct improper habits, alignments, and movement patterns.

I'm doing some seasonal redecorating and always redo the stuff on the mantle. This time the theme is wood, and here's some of what I have.
from left to right:
- houseplant
- hand painted wood candlestick, new
- antique copper humidor (mother-in-law's ashes) plus candle
- vintage toy 1903 Springfield, picked up at an antique store
- vintage decoy (husband's family piece, I also have the hen) sitting on a
- freeform, hand carved, cherry bowl my grandfather made for me when I was four. He was making this in the barn the same time he was restoring a 1925 Model T pickup and carving my brother a model airplane, and I remember the bowl sitting on his work table, half-finished.
- elm bowl made by a student at the Narrow Gate Foundation. Husband won it in a silent auction.
- houseplant on a tobacco box
- tiny old pair of dutch clogs. Husband's family piece. Lots of Dutch on his side of the family.
- cast iron coin bank of General Pershing. Craigslist find.
on the wall:
- vintage fruit crate label
I love handmade items, especially if it's made from wood. Even old furniture. I just finished restoring a Hoosier-style cabinet.
Now I know I'm not the only one who appreciates the skill that goes into crafting things from wood, and the texture, color and grain patterns. Old furniture, decor, your favorite wood grips or even your own handiwork - show me your wood!

An Augmented Reality Interface to Contextual Information AbstractIn this paper, we report on a prototype augmented reality (AR) platform for accessing abstract information in real-world pervasive computing environments. Using this platform, objects, people, and the environment serve as contextual channels to more information. The user's interest with respect to the environment is inferred from eye movement patterns, speech, and other implicit feedback signals, and these data are used for information filtering. The results of proactive context-sensitive information retrieval are augmented onto the view of a handheld or head-mounted display or uttered as synthetic speech. The augmented information becomes part of the user's context, and if the user shows interest in the AR content, the system detects this and provides progressively more information. In this paper, we describe the first use of the platform to develop a pilot application, Virtual Laboratory Guide, and early evaluation results of this application.

Using Apache Hadoop and Impala with MySQL for Data Analysis
Thanks to Alexander Rubin of Percona for allowing us to re-publish the post below!
Apache Hadoop is commonly used for data analysis. It is fast for data loads and scalable. In a previous post I showed how to integrate MySQL with Hadoop. In this post I will show how to export a table from MySQL to Hadoop, load the data to Cloudera Impala (columnar format), and run reporting on top of that. For the examples below, I will use the "ontime flight performance" data from my previous post.
Making Apache Spark Easier to Use in Java with Java 8
Our thanks to Prashant Sharma and Matei Zaharia of Databricks for their permission to re-publish the post below about future Java 8 support in Apache Spark. Spark is now generally available inside CDH 5.
One of Apache Spark's main goals is to make big data applications easier to write. Spark has always had concise APIs in Scala and Python, but its Java API was verbose due to the lack of function expressions. With the addition of lambda expressions in Java 8, we've updated Spark's API to transparently support these expressions, while staying compatible with old versions of Java. This new support will be available in Spark 1.0.
A Few Examples
Hue Flies High at Goibibo
Our thanks to Amar Parkash, a Software Developer at Goibibo, a leading travel portal in India, for the enthusiastic support of Hue you'll read below.
At Goibibo, we use Hue in our production environment. I came across Hue while looking for a near real-time log search tool and got to know about Cloudera Search and the interface provided by Hue. I tried it on my machine and was really impressed by the UI it provides for Apache Hive, Apache Pig, HDFS, job browser, and basically everything in the Big Data domain. We immediately deployed Hue in production, and that has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our data platform at Goibibo.
How Impala Brings Real-Time, Big Data Analytics to Digital Reasoning's Users
The following post, by Sarah Cannon of Digital Reasoning, was originally published in that company's blog. Digital Reasoning has graciously permitted us to re-publish here for your convenience.
At the beginning of each release cycle, engineers at Digital Reasoning are given time to explore the latest in Big Data technologies, examining how the frequently changing landscape might be best adapted to serve our mission. As we sat down in the early stages of planning for Synthesys 3.8 one of the biggest issues we faced involved reconciling the tradeoff between flexibility and performance. How can users quickly and easily retrieve knowledge from Synthesys without being tied to one strict data model?
Letting It Flow with Spark Streaming
Our thanks to Russell Cardullo and Michael Ruggiero, Data Infrastructure Engineers at Sharethrough, for the guest post below about its use case for Spark Streaming.
At Sharethrough, which offers an advertising exchange for delivering in-feed ads, we've been running on CDH for the past three years (after migrating from Amazon EMR), primarily for ETL. With the launch of our exchange platform in early 2013 and our desire to optimize content distribution in real time, our needs changed, yet CDH remains an important part of our infrastructure.
Apache ZooKeeper Resilience at Pinterest
The guest post below was originally authored by Pinterest engineer Raghavendra Prabhu and published by the Pinterest Engineering blog. Being big ZooKeeper fans, we re-publish it here for your convenience. Thanks, Pinterest!
Apache ZooKeeper is an open source distributed coordination service that's popular for use cases like service discovery, dynamic configuration management and distributed locking. While it's versatile and useful, it has failure modes that can be hard to prepare for and recover from, and if used for site critical functionality, can have a significant impact on site availability.

Write MapReduce Jobs in Idiomatic Clojure with Parkour
Thanks to Marshall Bockrath-Vandegrift of advanced threat detection/malware company (and CDH user) Damballa for the following post about his Parkour project, which offers libraries for writing MapReduce jobs in Clojure. Parkour has been tested (but is not supported) on CDH 3 and CDH 4.
Clojure is Lisp-family functional programming language which targets the JVM. On the Damballa R&D team, Clojure has become the language of choice for implementing everything from web services to machine learning systems. One of Clojure's key features for us is that it was designed from the start as an explicitly hosted language, building on rather than replacing the semantics of its underlying platform. Clojure's mapping from language features to JVM implementation is frequently simpler and clearer even than Java's.

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 | Pictures
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013
If the scarf prints and bold umbrella stripes weren't enough to tip you off, surely the burlap sacks made into t-shirt dresses and printed with "Sicilia" across the chest were obvious indication that Dolce & Gabbana looked to Sicily to inspire their Spring '13 vision. In a collection that sought to capture Sicilian culture in its every piece, the inspiration that delivered the most literal results were the scarf prints, headscarves, tasseled earrings, and stripes that conjured images of the Mediterranean beaches and the striped umbrellas lining the sand (if you're plotting a getaway to the area, you now have the dresses to match your beach accessories). Of course, in large part, it's the styling here — the multicolored handbags and platforms, the scarves, and the oversize earrings — that turn the collection into more of a caricature. We suspect that if you stripped the stripes of their add-ons, you'd strip them of any over-the-top references, too. As for the scarf prints, silky peasant dresses, and high-impact minis, there's not much that can be done to temper the stuff — they call for an equally bold personality to pull them off; we suggest Anna Dello Russo.
- Trends: Stripes, scarf prints, floral appliqués, crochet, brocade, and lace.
- Colors: Black, white, yellow, red, khaki, blue, and green.
- Key Piece: The striped dresses and separates are certainly the most wearable of the bunch.
- Accessories: Headscarves, oversize beaded earrings, and multicolored platforms, flats, T-strap heels, and embellished bags.
- Who Should Wear It: We could see Diane Kruger in the stripes and Anna Dello Russo in the tasseled embellished minidresses.

At 8-1 in his past nine fights, Jake Ellenberger has been on a tear, and he's done it against some of the best talent in the UFC's welterweight division. That's why he isn't viewing his July fight with Rory MacDonald as the toughest of his career. He's simply not sold on "Ares" as a legitimate contender. read news >>
Rory MacDonald is getting his title shot after all. The Canadian star will take on UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler with the belt on the line in the co-main event of UFC 189 on July 11 in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White announced Wednesday during the UFC's performance-enhancing drug press conference. The Lawler-MacDonald will co-headline the event since a featherweight title fight between champion Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor has also been announced for the same card. UFC 189 at the M read news >>
Earlier this month, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White named The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum as one of the next contenders for the welterweight title, currently held by "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler. Probably not a good sign when the person you nominated won't back you up. "Honestly, I believe that Rory MacDonald should get it," Gastelum told MMA Fighting. "That's my own personal opinion. He deserves it. He's [on] a three-fight winning streak, beat some of read news >>
The way ex-UFC welterweight champ Johny Hendricks sees it, it's only fair to work his way back to another fight with Robbie Lawler, the man who took his belt.Filed under: News, UFC read news >>
Tell us you didn't see this one coming from 10 miles away ... Remember when it was "pretty impossible" to deny Rory MacDonald the next Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight title shot and that it would "absolutely, positively, without a doubt" take place in Canada? We do, mainly because company president Dana White made the now-hollow guarantee just two months ago moments after "Red King" (not a typo -- he has a new nickname, remember!) scored a third round (technical) knockout victo read news >>
Less than two months after he was promised the next UFC welterweight title shot in his native Canada, it appears now that Rory MacDonald won't get the next crack at the gold.Filed under: News, UFC read news >>
All signs point to a Lawler vs. Hendricks trilogy following news that Rory MacDonald won't be getting the next crack at the belt. Perhaps the real loser of the incredibly close rematch between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler was actually Rory MacDonald. Lawler eked out a split decision to become the UFC's welterweight champion, but the decision was controversial enough that the thought of a rubber match between the two men did run through Dana White's head. Rory MacDonald was supposed to be th read news >>
Approximately two months ago, UFC President Dana White said that Rory MacDonald was the logical No. 1 contender in the welterweight division. read news >>
Sorry, Rory MacDonald, but you're going to have to wait. The UFC welterweight contender was recently told by UFC brass that he will not get the next shot at the 170-pound title, according to "UFC Tonight." read news >>
Does former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks deserve an immediate trilogy fight against the man who lifted his title by the slimmest of margins at UFC 181, Robbie Lawler? Or should the UFC move forward with its original plan to give Rory MacDonald the next title shot? Those are the questions upon which the entire welterweight division will hinge in 2015 (Okay, and also whether former champion Georges St-Pierre returns). Proponents of an immediate Hendricks rematch note that after 10 rou read news >>
Rory MacDonald is going through an image remake as he waits for his shot at the UFC welterweight title.MacDonald (18-2), who is expected to face the winner of the Dec. 6 fight between champion Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler, is now sporting a new look with a Mohawk style haircut.He's also dumped his previous nickname, "Ares."It was reported Wednesday by UFC Tonight's Ariel Helwani that MacDonald will now be known as "Red King."His friend, lightweight Kajan Johnson, who, like MacDonald, is ori read news >>
It looks like Rory MacDonald will finally get his chance to prove that he is indeed the best welterweight in the world. Rory MacDonald finally got his wish. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White confirmed that "Ares" would indeed get the next shot at the welterweight title after he knocked out Tarec Saffiedine in the main event of UFC Fight Night 54, which went down last weekend (Sat., Oct. 4, 2014) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Video highlights here. To sweeten the pot, R read news >>
It's all lining up for Rory MacDonald. After winning his third straight contest last Saturday, the gifted young Canadian will receive the next shot at the UFC welterweight title. He will also do so on his home soil in an event that could take place as soon as March. That's according to UFC president Dana White, who reported the news to Sportsnet.Ca on Wednesday. Robbie Lawler is set to challenge champion Johny Hendricks to a title rematch this December. MacDonald, White said, will face the winne read news >>

Way Off Scenter United States Show all reviews | Genre: Woody Oriental 03rd July, 2014 |
Kain Iran Show all reviews | Many people call this fragrance medicinal, but it's not medicinal at all! 25th April, 2014 |
gimmegreen Netherlands Show all reviews | All the comparisons to Tiger Balm put me off trying this one for the longest time. However, it is one of those it does smell like it and yet it doesnt perfumes and Im glad I broke through my reluctance. 24th April, 2014 |
Colin Maillard Italy Show all reviews | I smell a lot of mint, pepper, camphor, so in short, as almost any other as already noted, a medicinal bomb. Still this is somehow fascinating, as it results in a fresh and green scent, with an exotic, spicy and balsamic twist - I do not know why, but the whole ensemble makes me think of some kind of a fin-de-siècle military red cross tent, somewhere in the middle of a desert war. The drydown tends more towards classic cologne notes - balsamic on woods. 20th January, 2014 (Last Edited: 05th April, 2014) |
Buysblind United States Show all reviews | Spirit of the Tame Tiger Smoky wood, camphorous mint, and some spice. The resemblance to Tiger Balm is apparent but Esprit du Tigre is softer, smoother, and altogether more wearable. However, it's not something that I would necessarily wear too often. It's a very distinct scent and kind of an oddball at that. At the same time, it's not exactly exciting either. Something about it is kind of flat and boring, and in the end it resembles a freshener you might keep inside expensive shoes more than something you would wear on your skin. I find that Piper Nigrum (a fragrance with which it is often associated) is much more lively and interesting. While it vibrates with vitality and rich, full notes, Esprit du Tigre seems milquetoast in comparison. I usually enjoy the restraint exercised in Heeley's fragrances, but I think Esprit du Tigre could benefit from a little more flare. It's not a bad scent at all, and it's pleasant enough, but come on already...let that tiger out of its cage! Pros: Pleasant, Well-composed, Easy to wear 18th May, 2013 |
NorthernTiger Show all reviews | Esprit du Tigre certainly lives up to its name; as many other reviewers noted, this takes inspiration from Tiger Balm. It is not the same, though, as this has quality ingredients driving its aromatic spice scent. 11th February, 2013 |
My_pep_pep United States Show all reviews | I love spices, and I love how this smells, but it's so light. It did last all day at work but I dumped a mostly full 1ml sample on myself and it was still really light, I'm not sure if anyone else could smell it. I could imagine times when I'd want something like that, but other better fragrances have higher priority. Great medicinal quality, though.....warm and a little bracing at the same time. Similar to real tiger balm but like someone else said, more refined. 12th November, 2012 |
Darvant Italy Show all reviews | As soon as I've inhaled a vial of Esprit du Tigre I thought: medicinal agarwood and aromatic spices. I don't think oudh is present but undoubtedly the juice is a medicinal and spicy bomb which smells anyway cool and slightly aromatic (because of a starring initial chord of peppermint and camphor) further than tasty of cinnamon and finally virile due a consistent dose of vetiver. This is a masculine to me and is an almost sporty or anyway dynamic kind of juice. Going on with the development the medicinal effect produced by the link of spices and camphor fades a bit and leaves the stage to a peppery and spicy fresh elegant vetiver. An interesting fragrance but nothing else. 18th April, 2012 (Last Edited: 08th June, 2014) |
alfarom Italy Show all reviews | Highly camphoraceous and medicinal....smells exactly like, well, Tiger Balm, but when it comes to Tiger Balm there's nothing like the real thing or...Piper Nigrum. 18th October, 2011 |
easycesco Show all reviews | Odd and interesting perfume this one! 11th February, 2011 |
foetidus United States Show all reviews | Several times over the years, on a whim, I have applied Tiger Balm on the back of my hand just because I enjoy the camphoraceous, medicinal scent. I like the accords in Spirit of the Tiger just as much, and its not as aggressive to the nose as Tiger Balm is the first hour after it is applied. Still, it is interesting how similar they smell. Spirit of the Tiger is more refined than Tiger Balm, and not as medicinal, which is entirely to be expected. SotT is camphoraceous and minty and, especially, clovey. It is thoroughly enjoyable. No need to describe this fragrance any further. If anyone wants to know what it smells like, just get a jar of Tiger Balm. Of course, this recommendation can be turned in on itself: no need to buy a $150 bottle of Spirit of the Tiger, for less than one-twentieth the cost, just get the real thing it lasts as long and has the additional healing benefits, too. 28th November, 2010 |

The closeted, college-aged son of a conservative right-wing senator known as "The Nazi from North Carolina" finds his conscience tested when his tyrannical father attempts to use him to get the young vote in a heated political… More The closeted, college-aged son of a conservative right-wing senator known as "The Nazi from North Carolina" finds his conscience tested when his tyrannical father attempts to use him to get the young vote in a heated political drama from director Zac Tucker. Henry (Matt Newton) doesn't agree with his father's views, and he certainly hasn't revealed his true sexuality to the man known for his vehement, anti-homosexual views. But now the unsuspecting senator (Michael Lerner) is on the campaign trail, and in order to win the upcoming elections he'll need to secure the young vote. Now, as the senator attempts to persuade his hesitant son to help make that happen, Henry is simultaneously seduced by a staunch gay activist named Anthony (Jack Noseworthy), who is secretly planning on outing Henry in a clandestine bid to destroy the senator's blueblood reputation amongst red state voters.
While the movie's discussion points certainly rank on par with those political thrillers, there's not enough substance for the movie to succeed on its own merits, a point underscored by posters selling the movie on Newton's perfectly airbrushed chest.
Full review…An overwrought story of American politics and image-making that really only gets interesting in the final act.
Full review…We all sat around in college having the sort of angry liberal rap sessions that this film painstakingly recreates. We don't have to relive them now.
Full review…A polemic masquerading as a movie, Poster Boy unspools like a humorless lecture on right-wing homophobia.
Some clunky writing and a distracting subplot limit the effectiveness of this ambitious low-budget indie.
Full review…Offers an affirmation that conservatives are not ready to cast that proverbial first stone.
Full review…Although audiences will admire the film's do-it-yourself energy and commitment, Poster Boy finally collapses of its own contrived weight, deflating just when it should soar into madcap -- or at least thoughtful -- satire.
Full review…Poster Boy is a muddled coming-out movie that, for no good reason, unfolds flashback style as Henry tells his story to a sleazy newspaper reporter.
The people do not reduce to issues, but we know they will hit their issues marks reliably.

Quick witted and thick skinned. I'm compassionate and a good

4.16 / 5.00 4,391 ViewsI think this is good
This is horrible and racist I should blow the whistle on this one or you should at least make it mature
Racism is Teen.
funny song dont get why everyone is geting riled up about the use of the freedom of speech though seems to be WAY too many people involved in such a small flash
My God
This is racist
Increadbly racist
Learn to spell n****r.
So going off the other review you didnt even do the song?...if thats the case then you dont even deserve the 2 points, if your going to post something that is just plain racially insulting atleast put some effort into some facit of the project so that atleast someone could laugh with you rather than at you :(
You must be new to newgrounds.
Absolutly not
The animation is just obnoxious.
The song, granted is by someone else, but isn't really appropriate.
Combined with your spectacularly animated stick man with chicken fingers, its incredibly insulting, and racist.
I'm pretty surprised no one blew the whistle on this one.

Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog |
Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American actress, television personality, fitness model, and former mixed martial artist. Carano began her training with straight Muay Thai to competitive MMA where she had tenures in organizations such as Strikeforce and EliteXC and has been featured in ESPN The Magazine as well as Maxim. Her popularity with fans and audiences has helped her garner the title of being the "Face of Women's MMA"[1] and was ranked on the "Top Ten Influential Women of 2008" list on Yahoo![2]
She was formerly the third best 145 lb (66 kg) fighter in the world, according to the Unified Women's MMA Rankings.[3][4] On August 2009, Carano would also headline Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg with Cristiane Santos, which marked the first time two women headlined a major MMA event.[5] As a competitive fighter, her standings consists of a 12–1–1 Muay Thai record and a 7–1 WMMA record.[6]
Outside of MMA, Carano also appeared as "Crush" on the revamped 2008 television series American Gladiators. Following her departure from MMA, she began a career in acting. Her debut breakout performance was in Steven Soderbergh's 2011 action-thriller film Haywire, which earned her a nomination for Best Actress in an Action Movie at the 18th Critics' Choice Awards. Carano would then star in the 2013 blockbuster film Fast & Furious 6 and in John Stockwell's In the Blood .
At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, Avengelyne co-creator Rob Liefeld announced production for a big-screen adaptation of the comic book was in development, in which Carano would star as the titular character.[7]
She was born in Dallas, Texas, the middle daughter of Dana Joy (née Cason) and Glenn Thomas Carano. She has two sisters.[8][9] Carano has said that she has a "small percentage" of Italian ancestry.[10] Her father played for the Dallas Cowboys as a backup quarterback from 1977 to 1983 and for the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers as a starter in 1984, their only year of operation.
She graduated from Trinity Christian High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she led the girls basketball team to a state title. She also played volleyball and softball.[11] She attended the University of Nevada, Reno for a year and then University of Nevada, Las Vegas for three years, where she minored in psychology.[12][third-party source needed]
Carano started her career in the sport of Muay Thai. Her then-boyfriend Kevin Ross, a pro Muay Thai fighter, got her involved.[13] After achieving a Muay Thai record of 12–1–1,[14] Carano received an offer from Jamie Levine to participate in the first-ever sanctioned female MMA bout in Nevada with World Extreme Fighting to fight Leiticia Pestova. She was invited to the World Pro Fighting show in Las Vegas to fight Rosi Sexton.[15] Carano won the fight by knocking out Sexton late in the second round.
Carano faced Elaina Maxwell at Strikeforce: Triple Threat on December 8, 2006. She won the fight via unanimous decision.[16] Carano proved critics wrong when she defeated Maxwell for the second time; the first victory coming in a Muay Thai bout. The fight was the first female fight in Strikeforce.
She fought on the February 10, 2007, Showtime EliteXC card, defeating Julie Kedzie via unanimous decision in what was called the "Fight of the Night."[17] The fight was the first televised female fight on Showtime.
Her scheduled bout against Jan Finney at the EliteXC/K-1 Dynamite!! USA event on June 2, 2007 was canceled due to illness. The Fight Network and other news outlets reported that she was rushed to the hospital via ambulance due to dehydration while attending a World Extreme Cagefighting event as a spectator.[18]
Carano fought on the September 15, 2007, Showtime EliteXC card, where she defeated Tonya Evinger via rear naked choke for her first career win by submission.[19] Carano impressed critics by holding her own on the ground before submitting Evinger late in the first round.
Carano defeated former HOOKnSHOOT Champion Kaitlin Young at EliteXC: Primetime on May 31, 2008.[20] A day before the fight, Carano failed to make weight for her fight after weighing in at 144.5 lb (65.5 kg). Although most MMA organizations set weight classes at 135 (bantamweight) and 145 (featherweight) pounds (61.2 and 65.8 kg, respectively), EliteXC opted to create a women's weight class at 140 pounds. [21] Carano agreed to forfeit 12.5% of her "show" purse to Young, and the fight remained on the card.[22]
Leading up to her fight against Kelly Kobold, there was much controversy over whether or not Gina would make weight for the fight, as she had fought only once in the past year and had failed to make weight. Gina assured critics that she would be able to make weight since she had hired a nutritionist to help with her dieting. At the weigh-in for the Kobold fight on October 3, 2008, Gina Carano weighed in at 142.75 pounds on her first attempt.[23] After removing her sports bra, a towel-covered Carano weighed in a second time at 142.5 pounds.[24] On her third attempt, without any clothes on, Carano weighed 141 pounds[25] and successfully made weight.
Early on, Kobold was intent on pressing Carano in the clinch, while working for the takedown throughout the fight. Kobold managed a takedown in the second round, but the round ended before she could take meaningful advantage of it. Carano worked her opportunities by hitting Kobold at every turn whenever the fighters separated, while opening a huge gash on the inside of her opponent's eyebrow in the first round.[26] At the end of the third round, Carano looked to finish the fight as she unloaded a head kick that landed flush on Kobold's chin, but Kobold remained on her feet and the bout came to a close.[27]
Carano won by unanimous decision (29–28, 30–27, 30–27)[28] and remained undefeated.[citation needed]
After Strikeforce purchased the assets of ProElite, Carano, along with other fighters within the defunct promotion, became contractually linked with Strikeforce after many months of a stalemate regarding their free agent status.[29]
It was announced at Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields that Carano's fight against Cristiane Justino would take place on August 15, 2009, at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg. Strikeforce created their first Women's Championship for the bout.
Though the 145-pound division is most commonly referred to as featherweight, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker stated that the title would be known as the Strikeforce Women's Lightweight Championship.[30] The title was later renamed the Strikeforce Women's Middleweight Championship.[31]
Carano lost the fight against Justino by TKO at 4:59 in the first round.[32]
This section is outdated. (May 2012) |
Carano was out of action for the remainder of 2009 and the entirety of 2010. In November 2010, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker stated he was hopeful that she would return in 2011.[33] Carano's return was formally announced in February 2011.[34]
Strikeforce announced at its April 9, 2011, event in San Diego that Carano would make her return on June 18 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, during the Overeem vs. Werdum Strikeforce event. Her opponent would have been Sarah D'Alelio. This bout would have been held by Zuffa, who have been detractors of women's MMA in the past. Critics assert that the reason for the turnaround is Carano's marketability.[35] [36] Initially Strikeforce announced Carano failed her pre-fight medical examination due to an unknown issue and the fight was pulled from the card.[37] Later, it became public that Carano was medically cleared by the Athletic Commission but was removed from the card for unknown reasons. Her return date is unknown. Carano has not fought since August 2009 and has not been scheduled for any upcoming events.[38] Gina is still under contract with the UFC through her old Strikeforce contract and has four fights remaining on that contract.[39]
Carano starred in the 2006 cult film Ring Girls.[40] Based on true events, Ring Girls is a fast-paced story about five American women from Las Vegas who take on the ultimate challenge of fighting the best Muay Thai fighters in the world.[41]
Along with Lisa King, Carano served as a mentor to aspiring fighters in the 2007 Oxygen reality series Fight Girls. She appeared as "Crush" on the NBC show American Gladiators, in which she starred in the workout video of the show along with Monica Carlson (Jet), Jennifer Widerstrom (Phoenix), Michael O'Hearn (Titan), Tanoai Reed (Toa) and Don "Hollywood" Yates (Wolf). The DVD was released on December 16, 2008.
She appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 as Natasha,[42] a purchasable hero unit, portraying the Soviet sniper/commando in various cut scenes. She is featured in the Michael Jai White film Blood and Bone[43] (2009).[44]
In September 2009, Carano landed the leading role in the spy thriller movie Haywire (2011), directed by Steven Soderbergh.[45][46][47] Christy Lemire of The Associated Press stated: "[Carano's] dialogue delivery may seem a bit stiff — and she has acknowledged that Soderbergh made some tweaks to her voice in post-production — but she has tremendous presence: an intriguing mix of muscular power and eye-catching femininity".[48] She describes her knockout fight with co-star Michael Fassbender:
We were brutal to each other. He was slamming me into the wall. He slammed my head so hard I lost it for a second--I went white. And at one point, our knees clashed; he got limp.
She also revealed that the Oscar-nominated actor kissed her unprompted on the first day on set.[49]
In February 2012, Carano was cast in In the Blood, an action thriller being directed by John Stockwell (Into the Blue, Blue Crush). The film has been described as being in the vein of Taken, In the Blood is set in motion when a husband disappears while vacationing in the Caribbean with his wife, played by Carano. The grieving wife passionately and recklessly pursues the men whom she believes kidnapped and killed him. Stockwell stated, "This role will showcase not only Gina's fighting skills, but also her acting abilities as her character struggles to [rein] in her violent past".[50]
In September 2012, Carano signed on as the lead in an all-female ensemble action film described as the female version of The Expendables. Producer Adi Shankar said, "I don't know how I'm supposed to make a movie that is supposed to be the female version of The Expendables without Gina Carano in it. It would be like making Twix without caramel or Jamba Juice without jamba".[51]
She co-starred in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), as a member of Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Special Agent Luke Hobbs' (Dwayne Johnson) team.[52] While the film received mixed reviews, movie critics were united in their praise of Carano's performance. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote "Gina Carano is BIG fun to watch. [She] is still a bit stilted with her line readings, but her two fight scenes with Michelle Rodriguez are just epic."[53] Matt Goldberg of Collider.com wrote that the scene would "create alot of new Gina Carano fans."[54]
In July 2013, she and comic book creator Rob Liefeld announced they were working on a big-screen adaptation of Liefied's Avengelyne in which Carano would star as a fallen angel, who is sent to Earth with a mission to find and protect 'the one', a person who holds the key to saving mankind from demons and other monsters.[55]
Carano appeared in the 2013-2014 Fox series Almost Human episode "Unbound", where she played the part of an XRN combat android named Danica.
She was profiled in a feature story for the ESPN series E:60. She was voted "Hottest Woman In America" by Big Biz Magazine in the Spring 2008 issue[56] On May 13, 2008, "Gina Carano" was the fastest-rising search on Google and third most searched person on Yahoo!.[8][57] She was also ranked as no. 5 on the "Top Ten Influential Women of 2008" list on Yahoo![2]
In May 2009, it was announced that Carano was ranked no. 16 in Maxim's Hot 100 list. She is one of the cover athletes along with Serena Williams[58] for the October 19, 2009 edition of ESPN The Magazine 's Body Issue.
In April 2012, she became the first recipient of ActionFest's Chuck Norris (Best Female Action Star) Award, given to the female action star of the year.[59]
In addition to being a nominee for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards for best actress in an action movie for Haywire,[60] Carano was a top 10 most searched athlete on Yahoo! that year.[61]
