...head to Hades in this film. Do you believe in the afterlife? I'm not going to say, because if I get up to heaven and there's a big dude - some 8-ft.-tall guy with a stick - and he says, "You didn't believe in me, did you, mate?," I'm screwed. And if I go to hell, I should be O.K., because all my mates will be there with me. But I do believe in something. There has got to be something bigger than...
...They say comedy is the hardest genre to pull off, but to my mind, the grief drama is the most miserable beast to take on (think how the mighty Peter Jackson got mired in it in The Lovely Bones). If there's no romance to counter the loss, the box office tends not to be boffo (as with Nick Cassavetes' 2009 My Sister's Keeper which may have infuriated as many people as it moved).

...other item: Avatar demonstrated that 3-D could bring studios gigantic bundles of cash.

Except for a daft, doom-saying prophet, who seems to have wandered into Argos from a Monty Python sketch, the movie proceeds without winks or nudges; it doesn't cue its viewers to easy laughs. As Worthington told an interviewer, "We take it serious so the audience doesn't have to take it too serious." The movie relies instead on the narrative twists and power of the old Greek myths; for, purely...
...crisis. But either would miss the point. Rather than state another mea culpa for the sins of the abusers, the Pope must simply and publicly seek forgiveness for himself - and other bishops - for what we might call the sins of ignorance and denial and administrative malfeasance that some critics say border on the criminal...
