» 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.
A high school student becomes obsessed with the Holocaust
and blackmails a former high-ranking Nazi soldier into telling stories about his
involvement. Based on a novella by Stephen King. With Brad Renfro, Ian McKellen, David
Schwimmer, Joshua Jackson, Ann Dowd, Bruce Davison and Heather McComb. [1:51]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A girl sits on top of a boy and kisses him, then puts her
face into his lap (oral sex is implied, but we don't see or hear anything). We briefly see
many boys' bare backsides while they're showering; we also see a few nude men from the
side (a bit of their pubic hair and genitalia is visible). Twice, we see a boy in his
underwear.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is stabbed in the back with a knife and thrown down
a staircase. A man is repeatedly hit in the face with a shovel until he dies (his face is
very bloody and we see blood pooling on the floor next to his corpse). A man drools and
his body jerks violently before he dies and a man clutches his chest and appears to have a
heart attack. A man tries to shove a cat into a lit oven. Implied: a boy smashes an
injured bird with a basketball. There are several discussions of Nazi Holocaust
atrocities, including using gas chambers, burning bodies and shooting people. In a dream,
we see a few people looking through the window of a gas chamber; in a montage of
split-second shots we see several photos from the Holocaust, mostly of malnourished
people. A boy has blood splattered on his face and a man has blood on his fingers and
shirt. A boy is knocked down during a basketball game and hits his head against a wall.
