-I Won’t Be Seeing Avatar Anytime Soon

avatar-movie-poster

I hear a lot of my Christian friends talking about what a great movie ‘Avatar’ is. However, I won’t be seeing it anytime soon even though I’m an avid Sci-Fi fan and would no doubt love the movie.  …

Why? Because of what James Cameron might do with all that money in the future. Remember the documentary hoax –”The Tomb of Jesus”? Bought, paid for, and produced by Cameron.

Christian Success Story: "Fireproof" and "Love Dare"

image After 4 successful weeks in the theaters, the low-budget movie "Fireproof" is causing a stir in Hollywood and a book– "The Love Dare"–which plays an important part in the movie is No. 1 on the New York Times book list.

"Fireproof" is a film made by Christians for Christians, starring Christians with a Christian story and a Christian worldview. It was produced by Sherwood Pictures, a ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church, the same bunch who produced Facing the Giants and Flywheel.

In short I liked it, I really liked it. I found myself laughing and crying all the way though. Usually I find Christian films to be rather boring, amateurish, and preachy—-but that was not the case with this film.  <<Read my complete review>>            *Top

“The Nativity Story” -The Star and The Magi

I went to see “The Nativity Story” with my daughter on Saturday (12/2) and have been thinking about it ever since. The movie was good, very good in some parts, and not quite so good in others. (Click here to see my complete review) It drove me back to the scriptures to check out a few things.

First of all, it seems like only the poor folk were really looking and hoping for the Messiah. Joseph and Mary were poor, and all their friends and relatives were also. The angel appears to poor shepherds in the field, not to the princes in the palace. Read more »

“Jesus Camp”

The controversy over the “Jesus Camp” documentary continues to rage in the MSM. It was recently announced that the ‘limited engagement’ for the film, has been expanded to include venues in nearly every city across the U.S. Soon it will be coming to a theater near you! Read more »

“End of The Spear” (PG13)

This is still the best film that I have seen all year (besides Narnia). I am glad that I saw it before I was exposed to all the controversy about one of the actors. Turns out that the producers did not know before hand, that their main actor was homosexual. Here is what I wrote to one of my friends about the film after seeing it in January:

” I saw a great movie this week while I was out of town–’End of the Spear’–a story of five missionaries who went with their families to Ecuador. It is a true story that demonstrates the true strength of Christianity. It really does show that the gospel & the Kingdom is more than just wisdom, philosophy, and scholarly study–but there is a reality in the power of God that transcends time. Christianity is the greatest scientific experiment of all history–duplicated in every generation with the same results–angels, miracles, healing, inspiration, sacrifice, repentance, faith, redemption & changed lives. What a great movie, like the Book of Acts only with airplanes! It is told from the perspective of the tribe. If you see it, make sure you stick around for the credits–the real people are shown at the end.”

It really is a shame that the controversy over shadowed what is a movie celebration of a really famous story & triumph in Christian missions. Critics have conclusively been shown to be wrong in their assertions that the producers knowingly cast the actor. It would be a shame if Christians did not support this film when it comes out in DVD. Especially since a portion of the proceeds goes to the actual mission.
