We're back with another episode, and this time we have a really unusual choice. Directed by Bill Duke (Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit), this is a film that you won't find on the shelves of your local Christian bookstore. It isn't marketed at Christians, which was sort of our guideline, but it is certainly a Christian movie. Enjoy the review.

I'm sure all Christian movie fans will be joining me today to go see Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. You might ask me, "Why?" Well, aside from being the latest from Guillermo Del Toro, following up his fantastic Pan's Labyrinth, the first Hellboy movie was quite good in its own right. And now, with his newfound success both critically and commercially, Del Toro is free from the restraints that held back the first film.
I've found the first review online for Fireproof!

A pseudo movie related post, but something that I think it is important to share.
Peter Greenway, director of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, has created a impressive installation piece using Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting, "The Last Supper."
Having secured permission from the managers of the painting's site, Greenway and his team installed multiple projectors and a sound system to create a dynamic light & sound experience.
The video, avaialbe at the Guardian link, is hugely impressive, even if it is only a portion of the performance. The lighting effects give the painting a tremendous dimensionality, and the moving lights add life to an image that everyone has seen a thousand times. This is an incrediable way of giving a 21st century perspective on classical artwork, and I only regret that it is an installation piece tied to the dining hall of a church in Italy, although the article does mention a possible re-staging using a replica painting.
This is the type of art that Christians need to be working on. Heck, this is the kind of art everyone needs to be working on.

Nothing movie related here, although it might make a cool premise for a Christian sci-fi story. I mainly thought it was just fun.
There is a service available, for the low fee of $40 a year, that will send an email to your friends and relatives after you are taken up with the rapture. Presumably this is for people who are very poor witnesses, or who just have lots of non-Christian friends. The creator of the site mentions several reasons that this might be a good idea, including making the transfer of property more streamlined in a post-rapture world.
Which leads to a couple of questions: If the rapture occurred, and it truly was the END OF THE WORLD, then would questions of probate court really be a priority on anyone's mind? Wouldn't this be the time that people take up their shotguns, get on their motorcycles and ride the wastelands? Not a time to be concerned with powers of attorney and other legal nonsense?
Moreover, the service works by automatically sending the emails if 3 of their 5 staff workers fail to log into their accounts for 6 days. So, when this service goes out of business, as it almost inevitably will, will rapture emails go flooding out?
The only real point that I can see to this service would be sending mocking "I told you so" notes to your friends. Except that the person who signs up for that sort of thing might not be taken up in the rapture anyway.

Richard Ramsey recently posted some photos from the theatrical version of The Oath of the Desmoreau on his blog.
We liked the movie well enough, and I love seeing stuff like this, from early, embryonic versions of stories.

More info on the much talked about Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.
Stein makes more contradictory statments in an interview with the Toronto Star. He says that he didn't have any opinons on intelligent design before making the film, but he also says that he was "intrigued by the idea of making a movie that would implicitly connect Darwinism with the Holocaust," so he can hardly be called "un-biased."
