You probably will be surprised to read that I approve of this kind of movie. Even though it’s not what God had in mind when He gave us Hollywood, the TCM movie series is solid, suspenseful family entertainment made in America.

The TCM story is based on the Serial Killer Ed Gein, also called the “Ghoul of Plainfield”.

Ed Gein had the unGodly passion for killing, cannibalism and using body parts for entertainment for furniture. He made ashtrays of skulls, bedroom lamps of bones and he used to wear the skin of his victims and pretend he was a woman.

Although the whole plot is quite brutal, I approve of my children watching all the TCM movies because it’s a good way of showing them what Hell and the Lord of Darkness would be like. Just say: “Go to bed or Leatherface is gonna drag you to Hell”, works like a charm every time!

The following are a couple of though for each of the TCM movies:

  • TCM (Original 1974): Unique and shocking was the movie in 1974, for today’s standards it’s rather boring and odd, nevertheless worth watching!
  • TCM2: Dennis Hopping is playing the lead role in this movie. Insiders say that he was addicted to heroin during the this time of his life, that is why he was desperate enough to act in TCM2. Good for us, because he is great!
  • TCM3: My favorite part. Leatherface is fast, furious and brutal beyond belief and yet he is a family man and cares for his mom.
  • TCM4: Very odd movie starring Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. For some reason Leatherface is some kind of faggish drag queen in that movie. The homosexual agenda does not even stop to make America’s favorite monster a fag! Shameful!
  • TCM Remake: Wonderful Micheal Bay/Markus Nispel remake. The plot is more or less based on the original. Beautiful colors and surrounding. God bless Texas!
  • TCM The Beginning: Very disappointing. Although the movie title suggests to explain how Leatherface become a ruthless killer, this is only done during the first 4 minutes of the rolling credits. The rest is nothing new or unique. Shame on Sheldon Turner and Jonathan Liebesman for screwing this one up. They missed the chance to make movie history.


  • Mention of Jesus and Christianity:
  • Sadly, no.
  • Family Value:
  • Very good. Even though they kill, they love and care for each other!
  • Foul Language:
  • Some.
  • Nudity:
  • None.
  • Recommended for:
  • Everybody age 10 & older. (18+ for TCM4!)

    STR Movie Review : Spun (2002)

    The only movie review from a truly Christian-Conservative prospective.



    Spun (2002)

    Watching this movie undoubtedly hurt my soul but I did it for you, dear Readers, so you don’t have to.


    “Spun” is so vile, so disgusting … needless to say that the maker of this piece of filth is NOT American. In fact, Jonas Askerlund is from Sweden and I strongly suggest he goes back home and spreads his filth in Yurop and not here!


    I like to issue an urgent warning. No doubt this movie should be illegal in every decent state of the union.

    Sexual perversion, bathroom activity, drug abuse, violence, extremely foul language, bad acting, blasphemy, it’s all right there. I urge our Christian readers to boycott this movie and everything made by Askerlund.


  • Mention of Jesus and Christianity:
  • Only in blasphemous ways.
  • Family Value:
  • Very Bad
  • Foul Language:
  • More than plenty
  • Nudity:
  • Yes, Penises and Vaginas
  • Recommended for:
  • Nobody!

    We at ShelleyTheRepublican don’t usually approve of “Heidi”-stories, because of it’s German Nazi roots, but in this case we do make an exception because it’s a beautiful American remake with great American actors.


    This movie truly is a lot of fun. Good clean family fun with no foul language, sex or violence.





  • Mention of Jesus and Christianity:
  • YES

    STR Movie Review : Coach Carter

    Coach Carter (2005)

    Official Website | ImdB | Amazon

    Other than Samuel L. Jacksons competent performance there is not much positive to say about “Coach Carter”. A “hard-ass” ghetto basketball trainer is trying to make decent humans out of rotten negro teenagers who behave like pigs.

    This movie features the usual tough-talk, shoving, swearing and other typical street behavior - it is present throughout the entire movie. One is reminded of the utter primitivism and godlessness of today’s urban culture. Needless to say that Coach Carter’s team wins great success follows.

    Hardly believable if you ask me but that is typical of liberal Hollywood, were a happy ending always beats reality.

  • Mention of Jesus and Christianity:
  • None
  • Family Value:
  • Poor
  • Foul Language:
  • Plenty
  • Nudity:
  • Some
  • Recommended for:
  • 21yrs and older only

    Overall STR Rating:
    35% (Not worth watching / Harmful to your children!)
