A Hollywood bow to faith-and-family groups
Philadelphia Inquirer: "The Dove Foundation is a Grand Rapids, Mich., nonprofit with Christian roots, and its ties to Hollywood are growing so deep these days that its opinion can send a movie back to the editing room before its release."
I agree that the Hollywood companies are not "bowing" to the Christian groups. It is just a money making strategy. If they find that they can get more money from making movies aimed at conservatives than others, I see no problem in them doing that. Those studios are commercial and are just doing their job which is to make money. On the other hand, if there were only these very conservative movies (which are not all bad), entertainment would be pretty boring. As of now though, there is a decent enough mix of the different kinds of movies, at least nobody is really complaining. Not yet anyway. -Natasha Alejandro
