read this item
I went to see this movie expecting to see a traditional biblical movie and was totally blown away with Darren Aronofsky’s interpretation. Noah is not a “spiritual” movie. Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” was a very spiritual movie. What you see is the cold hard ‘facts’ – according to Aronofsky. It is a dystopian […]

However, I must confess, I found the first half of the movie extremely boring, as did a few movie patrons, some of whom walked out. I, however, decided to stick it out and I’m glad that I did. Christian Bale, as usual, gives […]

If you desire a change of pace from the usually cinematic blockbusters, then check out Scott Cooper’s, Out of the Furnace.
