SuperCandid Contest: Tells us what movie we treated unfairly

For our 50th episode we are revisiting our review to Facing the Giants, the first film we ever reviewed and one that, in hindsight, seems much better than we gave it credit for at the time.  Our 52nd Episode will be another re-visiting another movie.  Which other movie is for you to decide, and you could win a copy of Facing the Giants on DVD!

The contest is simple.  Email us at supercandid at gmail dot com, or click the email link below, and let us know what movie you think we should look at again.  Maybe you thought we were too hard on Hangman's Curse.  Or gave The Nativity Story a bad rap.  Perhaps you really like The List.  This is your chance to tell us.  We'll re-review the movie that gets the most votes, and on Episode 52 we'll draw a winner from among all suggestions!  This is your chance to win!

Entries must be recieved by the premiere of our 51st Episode to be eligable.

SuperCandid Classic: Episode 2 (Two), Hangman's Curse

 (Originally posted on 16 March 2007 -ed.)

The second episode of the Super Candid Podcast, discussion of Christian movies, music and other media from a pair of Christians who are sick and tired of bad Christian movies, music and other media.  This week's movie:  Hangman's Curse.  It's a teen spy film dealing with the occult, ghosts, goths, highschool drama, cliques, bullies and eight-legged freaks, but is it any good?  Or is it yet another Christian movie that will insult not only your intelligence but your faith?  Tune in to find out what our reviewers thought, as well as the latest Christian music and movie news, highlighting artists and films that might be overlooked if you only browse the most popular Christian releases.

Mikel Wisler Continues his exploration of the state of Christian Cinema

Continuing the series we linked to last week, Mikel Wisler has part 2 of his exploration of the state of Christian Cinema. He has some really good points on the different approach to visual media by Catholic and Protestant denominations of the Church. He also has some really good things to say about the "experiential" nature of film; specifically, the way that a film is much more than what can be described in a simple plot summary. He also makes some interesting comments on two prominent Hollywood Christians; Ralph Winter and Scott Derrickson. He is very charitable to both, in different ways. Derrickson (Director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Hellraiser: Inferno & the forthcoming remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still) he praises for making mainstream Hollywood films that have Christian values, if not a explicit Christian message. Winter, on the other hand, I think he unfairly praises. Sure, Winter has produced some great films on the Hollywood side of things (X-Men, X2, Captain Ron, Star Trek III-VI), but he's also made some real stinkers (Fantastic Four, X-Men 3, Inspector Gadget), so he hardly has a perfect record. When it comes to Christian movies, he unfortuatly tends more to the stinker side than to the great side. Of the Christian film's he's produced (Left Behind, Hangman's Curse , The Visitation , Thr3e , House), only one (The Visitation ) managed to avoid being so awful as to make me curse the day I watched them. Seriously, Thr3e is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Ever.
