There must REALLY be a dark side that wants to discourage a lot of people from seeing this movie! Below is what Drudge is running on his website:
NEWSROOM SOURCES: NYT TO SLAM GIBSON'S 'PASSION' IN REVIEW TOMORROW: 'Gibson has constructed an unnerving and painful spectacle that is also, in the end, a depressing one... It is disheartening to see a film made with evident and abundant religious conviction that is at the same time so utterly lacking in grace.... What makes the movie so grim and ugly is Gibson's inability to think beyond the conventional logic of movie narrative'...

Gibson's inability to think beyond the conventional logic of movie narrative' Is that the same as saying "he didn't make anything up?" Or is it along the lines of "there's no gratuitous sex?"

Jesus said, "If I be lifted up [crucified], I will draw all men unto me."
He also said, "And even as Moses lifted up the serpent [Heb. nahash, 358] in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man [ben h'adam= Messiah= 358] also be lifted up." In the wilderness, where so many were bit by the serpents, anyone who was even able to open his eyes and glimpse the brass serpent that Moses had made, at all, was instantly healed.

If the NYT slams it, then it has to be great, they aren't right on anything....

that is at the same time so utterly lacking in graceHow ironic that the Times would use those words to describe this movie. If it were not for the grace of God in sending Christ, we would all face eternal damnation.
