"Now listen to me!" - 2 Chronicles 28:11a
Sorry for yet another long delay. I've been very busy lately, and sometimes I just don't feel like blogging. I have seen a number of movies though, and wanted to drop by to put up my mini-reviews of them:
The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry *** of ****- This is a religious film that is both hokey and inspiring. I neither loved nor hated it, however I feel like it is an important film for middle-school aged kids to see. It was nice to see a movie with a religious subject matter not be as pathetic as anything Kirk Cameron is in.
The Invention of Lying * of **** - A sacrilegious piece of crap. Yes, this was one of my most anticipated films to be released this fall, and yes, it sucked.
Where the Wild Things Are ***1/2 of **** - A beautiful and heartbreaking film filled with symbolism and imagery that is some of the year's most memorable. Not a film for young kids though, as it is chock full of non-graphic violence and a story delivered at a slow, art-house pace.
Whip It! ***1/2 of **** - A very friendly film for very friendly people. I really enjoyed the themes and characters found within this untraditional sports film.
Zombieland ***1/2 of **** - The funniest zombie film I've ever seen, yes, even moreso than Shaun of the Dead. I was laughing and squirming at the same time, and really enjoyed it.
Capitalism: A Love Story *** of **** - Not as good as "Sicko" or "Bowling for Columbine", this is still a brilliantly made film - even thought I didn't agree with all of it and a couple of the points were so flawed I didn't even need to look them up afterwards to know Moore was bending the truth.
So that's what I've been up to in my free time. I am also working on a new blog which I will post details to soon. It was inspired by something that happened today....more details on that later.
Peace!
