Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Expelled from Narnia
Mark Sommer
"That's all nonsense, for babies... Only fit for babies, do you hear?"
Miraz' response to Prince Caspian sounds like the reaction of many to
those who believe God, or some Intelligence, had something to do with
life as we know it today.
 The Forbidden Kingdom
Lord of the Staff
Maurice Broaddus
The Forbidden Kingdom
truly comes to life with Jackie Chan's appearance and subsequent fight
scenes, recalling his Legend of the Drunken Master role. After he shows
up, it's only a matter of time until Jet Li and we get what we paid to
see.
 The Visitor
Darrel and Walter
Darrel Manson
Walter's life is in spiritual crisis. It has nothing to do with
religion, per se. The hole in Walter's heart isn't necessarily
"God-shaped," but such a void enters every life from time to time. In
the midst of such crises we often shut out life... especially other
people.
88 Minutes
Tic Toc Doc
Elisabeth Leitch
As Daniel says in the Psalms, "The power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous." And in a world where we have been
given the free will to choose whose authority we respect, let us
remember to make our decisions wisely.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Funny or Stupid?
Elisabeth Leitch
As much as Sarah Marshall is
a movie about breaking up, it is also very much a movie about restoring
a sense of confidence in oneself. But believe me, it doesn't do so by
suddenly revealing its characters to be debonair sophisticates.
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
Looking for the World's Most Wanted Man
Darrel Manson

Summer Previews
2008 Summer Lineup
Are Blockbusters Busted?
Jacob Sahms
We'll be led by some super heroes, some anti-heroes, and probably a few
villains. We'll be entertained, disappointed, and crushed-and surprised
by the heart of people we can emulate, real heroes who have their backs
against the wall, and dominate.
 The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
A Hero's Journey
Jacob Sahms
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
promises more Stateside adventures, as well as South America, while
changing up the Evil Empire from that of the Nazis to the Soviets.
Needless to say, Ford has experienced much success since he first began
this adventure.

 Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
When Superpowers Battle
Ed Travis
"Whoever wins... We lose." We get to see two superpowers duke it out to
claim victory, and we see the underdogs, the downtrodden, the humans,
caught and helpless in the midst of it all. Is this not the reality
throughout the history of war?
Lions for Lambs
Lions, Yes... But How?
Jacob Sahms
For
all six characters, the questions can be boiled down below political
parties and their view of the war. How am I using the gifts that I
have? Am I making a difference in my world today with the problems that
I see and can address?
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Laugh or Cry: Take Your Pick
Jacob Sahms
We
flashback to the tragic death of Dewey's brother by his own hand. Dewey
discovers that he's lost his sense of smell but gained an innate
ability to play the blues. If all this strikes you as funny, read on:
if you hate this so far, well, it's not getting any better. |
