I liked the recent "Sahara".
The book was better though.
If I recall correctly, Sahara opened with a picture of Bill Clinton in the opening credits. It was a "man is ruining the environment" movie with a UN doctor as the heroine and a multimillionaire industrialist killing innocent poor folk.
I can't stand that kind of movie.
It's AWFUL when Hollywood gives us "messages" (unless it's "Munich" and "Syrania".)
"80 Days" was an awful turkey. "Sahara" was enjoyable. "Narnia" should make Big Bucks!
My personal favorite of a movie produced by Walden Media is "I am David", which tells a story about a young boy who run from communist camp concentration. It's based on Anne Holm's novel, "North to Freedom".
"Narnia" has grossed 65 million domestically, 107 million total (including US) worldwide, as of 11 Dec 05.
They may not get any Academy Awards, but who the hell cares...AA's are just for the nutbag liberal section of America. (Particularly if Brokeback Mountain get's an award).
"Anschutz, a religious Christian who has vowed to make wholesome entertainment that doesn't rely on sex, foul language or violence to sell tickets, controls the rights to all seven books in the Narnia series."....
" After years of complaining about the content of movies, Anschutz told the students, "I decided to stop cursing the darkness … and instead do something about it by getting into the film business"
Finally another Christian steps up to the plate.
It is time for Christians to rise up and become the warriors (of spirit) that Christ intends for us to be.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’" -- Matthew 10:34-36
Saw Narnia Sunday ....absolutely delightful!
