My lack of horror Movies

I don't like Horror movies. Oh, shocker. I figure that since I know that it's not real, I have a struggle to let something be and be horrified by it. I see most of it as stupid and funny. Acting fearful is not a strong point of most actors because they are expecting it. They have read the script and cannot be scarred or scary to me, the audience. The last time I was scared from a movie was maybe Human Centipede or Teeth, but even that was more cringing than actual jumped scared. This goes back to an Actor acting scared so the audience knows to be scared. This also goes with the music and tone of the movie, but even classic horrors like Dawn of the Dead, Psycho, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. are not scary because they used practical effects. Practical effects and CG effects do differ because practical means it happened on set and a real response, where as CG are added after the fact and a fake response is given. I have lost my interest in Horror because I know its all fake and therefore, I can see through it all.

Courageous - See It

Family Christian movies are not main stream. Simply stating a fact. Any movie that comes out with any religious background to it is automatically tuned out as to separate itself in the media because any religion on TV marks that station and may deter viewers. Same goes with running late night infomercials. They usually come with a warning of "The views regarding the following program are not those of the broadcast station" or some statement like that trying to detach itself. This is why the relatively unknown movie COURAGEOUS has gone under peoples movie radar. Too bad it opened to the number 3 position and beat out its opening weekend competition. COURAGEOUS is a good family movie and more of how a Father who wants to be more than just good enough looks into the Bible to find what God says about being a Father. Yes, this religious overtone is clear in the movie, but is subtle in its open statement as the 

*SPOILER ALERT* (Daughter Dies)

This sends the main Father to change his ways and enlists the following of four other dads. Together, they keep each other in check when it comes to following God and doing right by their family. Given the Christian and God themes, STILL GO SEE THIS MOVIE! No other movie that I know of has hit me hard about the Father I want to be when I have a child of my own. This should be a must watch for all Dad's as it deals with Sons, Daughters, Gangs, Love, Loss, New, Old, Family, Friends, etc. without going into Christian overtones. This movie will be one you will not regret.
