‘Best Picture’ Oscar Winner–DVD
Star-filled cast, good acting, with some redeeming moments.  This was not a movie that I could ever enjoy.  One racial epitath & diatribe after another, overt racism and bigotry displayed on many levels. The scene was suppose to be Los Angeles, California, a multi-cultural—multi-racial international city. I’ve lived around LA most of [...]

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 [...]

My favorite film of the year.  Especially since I read the Book it is based upon.  I look forward to more of this series coming to the screen in the future–I’ve read all the books, in fact I believe I have read all of C.S. Lewis.  My [...]

Took my 7 year old grandson to the movies over the weekend.  His choice was to see-”Curious George”–an animated film based upon a series of children’s books.  Great fun for the kids in attendance, my popcorn was good & the Diet Coke was cold. The story line was predictable for adults, background sights & music [...]

Wednesday PM on ABC
Where the heck in the world are these people anyway? Heaven or Hell? The island leaves us with all sorts of questions. The ‘Others’ living on the island, what is their story?  What about strange smoke/ vapors that seem to be ’supernatural’ or the large animal/whatever that killed people in the first [...]

Monday PM on Fox
President Logan has no guts, what a jelly fish! Do we really have to have Jack’s daughter back?  Wonder what will happen to her this time?  The VP looks to be a take charge guy–but for better or worse?  Could he be part of the conspiracy?  Is there any religion in 24?  [...]

Friday PM  on Scifi
Religion seems to be an on-going theme on this series.  I am always interested in observing and detecting religious themes and references by writers of SciFi.  In BG they are in abundance.  The lady President is a ‘prophetic’ figure & some times just pathetic. The Human religion portrayed on the show is [...]

Friday PM @ SciFi
Religion has been an on-going topic on this series since the beginning.  The major bad-guys at the beginning were the Goa’uld.  They pretended to be Gods & demanded worship.  Our heroes, of coarse, eventually defeated them (after 7 seasons or so) and clearly unmasked the Goa’uld limitations & mortality.  All was well [...]

‘Gospel of Judas’ Documentary:  Did The Four Gospels Lead To The Holocaust?
During the National Geographic documentary on the ‘Gospel of Judas’, shown Sunday night (National Geographic Channel), several of the scholars, including Bart Ehrman & Elaine Pagels, made the claim that the four NT Gospels may have led to the holocaust.  With scenes from the [...]
