This was a great movie! It was fun getting to see Harrison Ford back at the top of his game hanging with Daniel Craig and having adventures. Defiantly NOTHING like Indiana 4!!! This film actually had a plausible plot line (well, assuming aliens exist) that drew you into it. Jon Favreau sure knows how [...] Shortly before War World II in 1938 a small band of Trappist monks started a monastery in the Algerian desert near Tibhirine. The next five, almost six, decades were fairly uneventful for these monks despite being located in the middle of an Islamic country. Then the unthinkable happened. Armed men entered the monastery during [...]
However, this post is not a full movie review…instead I want to focus on one comment in the film that I believe caries a ton of weight in today’s world. Yet, before I can talk about the comment, I guess I should give you guys an overview real quick (with one spoiler…which really won’t affect things too much…) The earth’s ozone has been destroyed by war – turning the planet into one big desert. Survivors are making due the best they can with limited resources… The protagonist of the film, Eli, is traveling west looking for a safe place to deliver the last remaining copy of the Bible. He has been on this journey for 30 years – moving slowly across North America and protecting the book from folks who would either destroy it or use it for evil (i.e. twist the message it contains). Near the end, Eli makes the following comment:
Wow! Powerful… simply powerful….and heart piercing… How many of us get caught up in trying to ‘protect’ the Bible? Fighting battles of Biblical inerrancy…. trying to prove the scientific and historical accuracy of the Bible….or fighting to keep it in public eye through posting Bible verses in court rooms, street corners, schools, etc…
Yet, is it all that? Or is it just a bunch of hype and fluff? Knowing that you, the reader, would be asking those questions (hmm…assuming that you haven’t seen it….which is probably a mistake seeing how almost everyone in the country as seen it…well, at least all those with funds) – I decided to check out Avatar and see what deal was. Hmm….ok….the little brightly colored avatar on my shoulder is tell me to confuse the true reason I went to the movies… I WANTED to – and it was a chance to hang out with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend. There! You happy? Now I just eliminated my last two readers! Sigh. I will now write my review to all the ones and zeros still out there…way out there….way out there, like me…..way out there…. Continue reading Avatar In a closed system, all it takes is one foreign object to bring it crashing down and to change everything. If anything, that is the message of Wall-E (the Pixar film). You miss it at first – especially if you are captured by the love story or caught up in the plight to restore [...] I finally got the chance to watch the newest Star Trek movie – and it is sweet!The way they introduced the characters while keeping the basic personality of each one was awesome. By the end of the movie I was jumping up and down in my seat trying to maintain a Vulcan like appearance [...] Continuing with my recent 007 kick – we recently watched the 2006 film Casino Royale. It was a great movie. Granted, we kind of messed up in that we watched sequel – Quantum of Solace – first… but even though we knew the ending, it was still a fun film to watch. In [...] The 2003 movie “Ned Kelly” starting Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom tells the story of the Australian outlaw and folk hero Ned Kelly (hence the movie name…) Ned Kelly was a young man born to Irish immigrants – well, actually his father was sent to Australian by the British for various crimes committed in [...] I have been hearing about the film Australia for a while now – but I was unable to watch it until this week. In a nutshell, it is a great flick. It is a little long – so be ready to pause it for bathroom breaks. But it is well worth the [...] Normally I don’t watch “Christian” movies. Mostly because they tend to be very cheese and poorly made – which is kind of sad. However, over the past few months I have watched two films that have changed my view of “Christian” movies. The first one was “Fireproof” – which did a great job at [...] |
