I rented some DVDs this weekend. One of them is The Missing with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett. Rogers Video has put the following information on the DVD package:

Sex/Nudity: mild innuendo; male bare buttocks
Drugs/Alcohol: social/casual drinking; people are drunk; someone smokes
Violence/Scariness: fatal gunplay; dead and bloody bodies seen; kids are kidnapped; someone killed with mystical dust; someone kills herself; kids are physically assaulted; someone forced to eat dirt; an attempted rape; people killed with arrows; people fight; someone beaten to death; horses are shot; a horse shot with flaming arrow; people fall to their deaths
Objectionable Words/Phrases: approx. 5

Am I the only one who thinks that this is weird?

they just gave away the plot of the movie. Weird descriptions.

I notice that they forgot to mention "people poisoned with chicken foot."

That sounds like a movie I gotta see!
