Today is also Martin Luther King Day. In line with his dream "that [his] four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character", I must point the finger at the movie Burlesque. It's nothing to do with the skimpy costumes worn by some of the characters, but more to do with some rapidly flashing lights in one scene. I don't have epilepsy, but I do know that lights which flash that fast can cause epileptic seizures in some people. It had a tad too much swearing for its M rating and also had some scenes depicting drinking and cigarette smoking, but it's the flashing strobe lights and their possibility of causing a seizure that give this movie a thumbs down - if you have epilepsy, I'd recommend seeing something like The Dilemma, Tangled, or Yogi Bear instead.
