Sucker Punch

This movie feels more like a video game. All the characters are caricatures, the
action defies all laws of gravity and physics.

In A Better World

“In A Better World” (“Haevnen”) is a Danish film about two families that intersect dramatically through their children, a situation that a lot of people can relate to. It’s also about peace-loving people trying to deal with the violence all around them, which almost everyone can identify with.

 

The Conspirator

Ever wonder how the Lincoln assassination really happened? “The Conspirator”
won’t answer all your questions. But you’ll feel like you know as much as anyone
else involved, and even better, you’ll feel like you were there.

Soul Surfer

When “127 Hours” came out, people immediately said, “Oh, that’s the one about the hiker guy who had to saw off his hand.” 

Hanna

There have been a lot of movies lately about teenagers with extraordinary powers, most of them imaginary, legendary, magical or extraterrestrial. 

Arthur

You don’t expect “Arthur” to work very well, because it’s a remake, and the original won two Oscars (very rare for a comedy), and who can replace Dudley Moore’s lovable insouciance or Liza Minnelli’s electric vivacity?

Underachieving

“Bridesmaids” is a genre so rare it is practically in a category by itself:  female buddy-movie raunch comedy.  Those who are aficionados of television’s “Saturday Night Live” will recognize veteran comediennes Kristin Wiig and Maya Rudolph.

King’s Bible, king’s speech

Back to the Book(s): KJV at 400:  Life is the Bible.  The rest is just commentary.

One need not exaggerate to claim that the publication of the King James Bible 400 years ago has influenced the English-speaking world more than all the millions of other books published before and after.

Should the Dead Sea Scrolls be recommended reading?

The late William Albright, generally regarded as one of the deans of Old Testament archaeology, described the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) as “the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times.” For most Christians, that might seem a bit of a stretch. After all, if the scrolls are so extraordinary, why don't they have something important to say not just to academics like Albright but to people in the pews?

KJV@400

Four hundred years with the King James Bible? But I’d thought it was written by the Apostle Paul!
