Have you ever sat down to watch what you thought would be a good movie
only to turn it off a few minutes later because of some offensive content?
Worse yet have you ever watched the entire movie and at the end felt like
the positive aspects of the movie were overshadowed by the offensive and
unnecessary ideas the movie also contained? This has happened to me on
several occasions.
Hollywood's sense of morality seems to be plunging downward in a toilet
bowl spiral.
Several companies have taken on the challenge of cleaning up Hollywood's
act by making edited versions of popular Hollywood movies.
The concept and practice of editing Hollywood movies isn't new. For years
edited movies have been shown on airplanes and television. However, there
are some in Hollywood who aren't very happy about this new wave of movie
editing companies.
All of this is erupting into, what looks to be, a drawn out battle in
the courts. Some say that the final decision may end up with the Supreme
Court because the issue may deal with First Amendment rights.
The core family values that have built our society have been under constant
attack. This attack is lead, in large part, by the movie industry.
I, for one, am glad that there are people and companies out there who
are taking a stand for consumer rights by bringing a cleaner choice to
the movie market.
CleanFilms has established itself as the number 1 source for edited movies
nationwide. CleanFilms
movies have been edited for content to remove nudity and sexual situations,
offensive language, and graphic violence.

the Caribbean and Click nationwide via 1st Class US mail. Members enjoy Unlimited monthly rentals shipped directly to their

When you are done watching the movie just put it in the postage paid return mailer and drop it in the nearest mail box.

CEO, Chad
Fullmer said, "CleanFilms basic guiding principle
is that of choice. All we're doing is offering people the choice
to watch movies in the privacy of their own home how they choose to. We
aren't trying to fool anyone. We make it clear to everyone that our DVD
movies are edited for content and that the original movie studios, producers,
and directors are not involved with the edits."
Mr. Fullmer continued by saying, "I think it is incredible that Hollywood
is trying to control what families and individuals do in the privacy of
their own home. Why Hollywood is trying to take away American citizens
First Amendment rights is beyond me."
CleanFilms is showing Hollywood that there is a market and a reason to
offer cleaner entertainment.
With the moral decline in Hollywood's movies, and its corresponding effect
on society, I am glad that there are companies out there like CleanFilms.
It is time for the moral majority to stand up and be heard.
