That ending of Wake Up Dead Man, though! The confession! The absolution! So much to think about.

As a MS/HS reading specialist, I would agree with you, so many students don't know how to read sentences. It's a tragic failure of education in the past 25 years. It's worth fighting for, and in the battle, reading aloud is never wasted time. It models exactly what students need.

I loved it! The play of light, the colors, the cinematography ... I mentioned it elsewhere, but Fr. Judd was the hero, and not dear Benoit, and was a fresh surprise for a favorite detective genre.

My 13-year-old and I absolutely love this movie. We've watched it three times! That final shot makes me cry. <3 (Also, hi Jessica!!)
