Film, TV, & Music Reviews with a Twist

Every week, new films and songs are released around the globe.  Throughout the year, TV shows are launched.  24 hours, 7 days a week, you can turn to “Breaking News” on one of the many “news dedicated” cable channels.  With all of these mediums constantly changing, how can you stay up-to-date or know how to hold appropriate conversations with students and/or people in your community about the shows everyone is talking about?  Good news!  Now, you have a source to turn to for fun, thought-provoking, and helpful reviews.

Here, you will find reviews from parents, educators, experts, and teenagers (giving their perspective).  Each review will provide you with an unique perspective relating to how the media and/or entertainment outlet’s production effects society’s views of dating, sex, intimacy, relationships, violence, consent, and sexual assault.  Having these analytic reviews will provide you with great tools to engage the younger and older generations around you with a different outlook the next time they watch and/or listen to the medium you are reading about.

You know how often people of all ages “roll their eyes” when you try to challenge everyday views on a subject.  The reviews provided by DSP Critics (Date Safe Project Critics) will give you more useful and progmatic material to share with others.

Be a Reviewer.  You can be given full credit for your reviews here at The Date Safe Project, Inc. or your reviews can be kept anonymous.  You choose.  Either way, you can create your own following as a DSP Critic.  To send us a review of ANY medium, click on “Leave a Comment” on this page OR send an e-mail to Review@DateSafeProject.org.

“Freedom Writers” Shows the Drive

After recently writing a post about "Passion vs. Drive", the movie Freedom Writers shows us a great example of the difference.  While many characters in this movie had passion, one person had the drive to push standards to a higher level.  Even more special is the truth component.  The movie is based on an actual class.  Experts say Freedom Writers is very close to what really took place (not always common in movies "based on a true story").

Don’t worry.  I’m not going to go into details on the movie.  Go see it.  For many people, this movie will be an eye opener on cultural issues in our society and in our schools.  Plus — if you love what you do for a living, you will relate to the main character in Freedom Writers.
