» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
Katie Holmes stars as a college student who's under extreme pressure: Not only because she has exams, her thesis
and interviews to worry about, but a police detective (Benjamin Bratt) shows up and begins to investigate the two-year-old disappearance
of her boyfriend (Charlie Hunnam). Also with Zooey Deschanel and Gabrielle Union.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A young woman and an older man kiss, we see some bare skin (it isn't clear what body part) and we see the
man's head below the woman's waist (suggesting oral sex), we see them in bed together both with bare shoulders and they kiss a couple of
times. A young man and a young woman kiss, he presses her against a wall, lifts her leg to his waist, caresses her bare thigh and we then
see them in bed together (he's bare-chested). We hear rhythmic banging and moaning coming from another room. A young man and a young woman
fall in a field of flowers, roll around together and kiss. A young man and a young woman kiss a few times, and people kiss and caress each
other at a college party. A young man grabs a young woman, kisses her neck, slips off her jacket and we hear his pants unzip. A man (he's
a counselor and therapist) caresses a young woman's hands and moves closer to her while asking if he can call her for a date. A young
woman and an older man lie in bed together (they are clothed and it appears to be more for comfort). A young man makes it apparent that he
has feelings for a young woman. We hear about a young woman's ability to attract the attentions of men. We see a young woman in a bra and
panties as she is changing her clothes. Young women wear outfits (low-rise pants, halter-tops) that reveal bare abdomens, bare lower backs
and cleavage. Three young women and a young man lie on a bed watching a strobe light (they are all clothed and appear to be high on
something or drunk). A group of men admire a young woman's buttocks as she walks by. There is some sexual innuendo with regard to a young
woman's mental health counselor "giving her what she needs."

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man is hit on the head with a rock twice and we hear a crunch (we see the body roll into water and watch
it sink; he has blood on his forehead). A young man slams a young woman against a wall and holds her by the throat (she gags and gasps). A
young woman panics and runs when she sees a pair of eyes through a bookshelf in a library. A young woman is frightened when she is
awakened by the sound of someone jiggling her door handle and then pounding on the door violently. A young man grabs a young woman
violently and kisses her. We hear a description of how a body was dismembered and burned. A man talks about having hit a person or an
animal with his car while he was drunk (he describes blood, hair and a dent on the bumper). A young man talks abusively to a young woman.
There are many conversations about a young man being dead. A young man talks about having an altercation with another young man (chest
poking). A young woman yells at a young man. A young woman appears to be seriously hung over. A young woman talks about her father having
left her when she was young. A man kicks and punches his car.
PROFANITY 4 - A young woman spells out a part of an F-word, 9 sexual references, 5 scatological terms, 8 mild obscenities, 1
religious profanity, 1 religious exclamation. [profanity glossary]
MESSAGE - Things are not always what they appear to be.
(Note: People are shown drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and smoking a drug. There are references to a character having a
substance abuse problem. There is also a conversation about a character being involved with selling drugs.)
