Kerinthian's

I was listening to Chuck Missler recently and he made an interesting comment about how throughout the Bible the Devil always seems to use the eye's to attract people to sin - when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good.. she took some and ate it... this is true of this film. It is disturbingly attractive. The cinematography is beautiful with vast ice wastelands, a sea voyage and fantastic blimps that carry the characters over magnificent cities, even the CGI doesn't do much to take away from the film. But like the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil I'm afraid The Golden Compass , though tantalising will do more damage than good... and here's the scary part - this isn't just a religious rant from a lunatic fundamentalist! Philip Pullman the writer of the Series "His Dark Materials" upon which the film is based summed it up for me when he said "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief " In...

I feel that if making a bad sequel was a criminal offense then both Spielberg and Lucas would be serving a lifetime sentence. Although the death penalty would be too harsh for these once great film makers it would be too kind for the feature itself. I don't think anyone would miss this movie if it walked off a cliff or got trampled by a herd of angry Star Wars fans. Seriously this was for me the most anticipated film of the year. I longed for the Indiana Jones that captured my imagination when I myself dreamed of robbing graves and finding buried treasure as a young 6 year old lad but alas, what I was served with was what I like to call the "Gospel According to Steven" wherein our saviours will ultimately be skinny grey men from a galaxy far far away as seen in E.T, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and that painful mini series Taken. All that said, there was nothing in this movie that was obviously offensive and if you had never actually seen an Indiana fli...

You could very easily call this movie "Sex" and no one would miss the "City" part. I can see an entire generation of boyfriends and husbands being dragged along to this film. There is a lot in it that appeals to the female species like a Fiance who buys his woman a wardrobe big enough to hide a family of refugees with a shoe rack the size of a small library! It has hand bags and dresses and lots of other stuff I can't remember because I was trying to see the time on my watch in the dark for most of the two hours I sat through it! Actually I lie I don't wear a watch but this film is looooooooooooong and unless you were a fan of the series there might not be a lot in it to appeal to you. The movie picks up where the series left off (don't ask me how i know this) - Carry Bradshaw, played by Sara...

Well you might not want to mess with the Zohan but you can sure afford to miss him! Sandler plays the indestructible Zohan, a modern day Samson-like character who eats Palestinian terrorists for breakfast with a side of Hummus. But amidst all the blood shed and violence he secretly longs to move to America to cut and style hair, and so whilst on a mission against his elusive nemesis AKA "The Phantom", he fakes his own death and defects to the US of A where he pursues his dream to make the world silky and smooth. Unfortunately, the premise is funnier than the actual film. There is a lot in this movie that your average teenage market may find appealing but that's not necessarily a good thing. He ends up cleaning shop for a Palestinian Hair Stylist awaiting his golden opportunity to prove himself and when he does he ...
