Evan Almighty: The 40 year old Virgin Mary's Ark?

This Noah's Ark sequel is another 'Jim Carrey' sequel that is sans Jim Carrey (see Dumb and Dumberer, The Son of the Mask, Ace Ventura 3 [coming soon - unfortunately]) and apparently is the most expensive comedy ever made, coming in at 175 Million dollars. Just think how many Creation Museums one could have built for that money? - Eight or nine? This'll be a great movie for the Christian set who want a movie about a favourite Bible character without the blood, whipping and bloody gore. Yes, I'm talking about Rambo IV.

The movie is bad. So bad I gave up streaming it before the ship set sail. It's kind of like the Titanic in reverse - The ship is full of animals instead of people; it's based on a myth instead of a real incident; and in the end it doesn't sink... the movie did. This is the second blog this week I've done referencing the Titanic and I'm not sure if I can do a third. What's up with that?

Man, I love Steve Carell, he's the best, but he's gone the way of comedic family movie sell-out faster than Tim Allen or Eddie Murphy ever did in this Dr Dolittle meets the Santa Clause mess. I'm sure he got paid plenty for it, so who can blame him? Keep doing the Office and all is forgiven. The only way this movie would have worked is if the Ark set sail leaving a cameo Kirk Cameron left behind drowning in the flood of endless animal wee wee and poo poo jokes.

I'm not sure if I worked the Kirk Cameron reference in there logically, but all I've really been wanting to say is that this movie is as stupid as a Creationist Museum, and that Kirk Cameron is a shmuck. Bon Voyage...

Satanic Titanic

Titanic has won 11 Oscars and is already the highest grossing movie of all time. It tells an inspiring tale of love, courage, and selflessness in the face of hypocrisy and tragedy. Here are some Christian comments on the world's most popular movie:

"Titanic reminds me of the distinctions between people of faith and secularists. ... The heroes of this modern Titanic fit into this latter category. ... [Titanic is] fundamentally immoral."
(Elizabeth Farah, conservative commentator)

"For millions the Titanic is now a triumphant story of how one upper-crust girl found salvation - body and soul - through sweaty sex, modern art, self-esteem lingo and social rebellion. Titanic is a passion play celebrating the moral values of the 1960s as sacraments. Rose sums it up by saying that she could abandon her old life and family because her forbidden lover [Jack] `saved me in every way that a person can be saved'."
(Terry Mattingly, syndicated columnist)

The movie’s most obvious sin of omission is its nearly total failure to show the passengers praying and singing hymns in their hour of crisis. The hero and heroine of Titanic display language, attitudes, and sexual abandon that would have been unlikely on several counts in 1912. In those days, even a girl who didn’t value her chastity had to think about pregnancy, disease, and social ruin. (WLL Fundamental Baptist Information)

"The line that set me off I believe also to have been the defining line of the film: the assertion that the sort of saving that Jack did was, ultimately, the only kind of saving possible. If that was the thesis statement of the film, then I start looking for the cloven hoof and sniffing for brimstone." (Father Patrick Henry Reardon, a philosophy professor and Orthodox priest, writing in the ecumenical journal Touchstone)

Titanic's director James Cameron seemed to confirm his critics view of the film as promoting secularism when he said of the ship's tragic voyage: "I think I discovered the truth of its lesson - which is all you have is today."
