So, The Passion of the Christ actually made a grand total of $125.8 million in its first 5 days since opening on Wednesday, edging out LOTR:ROTK and SW:TPM becoming officially the hugest Wednesday opening film of all time.

So, I thought for long and hard about whether or not to subject The Passion to my little film grading system, since it means a great deal more to me than just being a good movie. However, to some degree any movie that truely moves me will have a coloration to it forever imbued in my skull, enscribed on my heart, and even a flicker of jeweled fire in my soul. Therefore I will certainlly subject it to the limited reaches of my simple grading system. Here then are is my (rather predictable) score for the Passion along with two other movies I recently viewed.

So I got my hair cut today. I look like Jim Carrey according to a great number of people. No, I don’t look like Tony Clifton, I look more like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber:
