Interesting review about a book that can help Christians discerning what movies are about, and how to use them to evangelize those who are not Christians.

I read this book last year and I was very impressed with the way the author opened my eyes up to understanding movies.

It really did improve my ability to reach out to some of my friends who are not Christians, but seem to be all caught up in the culture of today's movies. I can better use the movies they like to explain the moral teachings of Christ without offending them.

Eventually I became so enraged by the way Hollywood movies had become propaganda films for leftist political agendas and immoral lifestyles that I not only stopped going the theater...

I'm sticking with that plan.

Heard about the last 5 mins of Rango today. Gdaughter was watching it.

I heard “For the good of the collective” and “Thank you, comrades” and started hollering to get that crap off my TV.

The old Passion of Joan of Ark can also resonate with those who are agnostics. Maybe it is because of her acting or the circumstance. But it is a powerful portrayal of one’s courage and commitment towards Christ. (not the recent Joan of ark film but the old one entitled The Passion of Joan of Ark—black and white fil you can find on You Tube.)

It was wife’s time to pick the movie this past weekend and she picked The Help. It actually was pretty decent. A few weekends ago it was my turn and I chose Horrible Bosses which was pretty funny too. I think there are many good movies out there but you have to be choosey.

Hollywood is mostly governed by folks who hate the messaage of behavior found in Christianity...they loathe it...with their every fiber.

It’s providence...I was raised being told the world would not always be religious like in my southern youth and be prepared to deal with it

Well the folks (95%) running Hollywood today have contempt for traditional America and by default Christendom...180 degrees opposite from their predecessors who ran Hollywood 50-75 years ago and loved this land of opportunity and freedom....HUAC notwithstanding

Watched Green Lantern. Learned that you can overcome fear by bringing about courage, because you truly love something. Maybe that wasn’t the message, but that’s what came across to me. Meanwhile, I got an entertaining movie, while my comic geek acquaintances were busy analyzing what wasn’t right about it.
