Hasn't Doug heard about this?
Its only a freakin’ movie. Just go or don’t go. How hard is that ?
How about a Biblical recounting of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Roma Downey, Kirk Cameron, Patricia Heaton and others have been putting their money where their mouth is for years.
Here's to many more joining them.
Reading THE BOOK ain’t out of style!
As far as “make something better”, that has been attempted. Mel Gibson had to fund his Passion movie himself to get it made. Hollywood & it’s investors can’t see fit to make a movie or show that is true to the bible. When someone does so, it is usually a major hit and baffles them.
That said, I can’t comment on this flick as I have not seen it. There are some on our side who see things in media that are not there. As an example, there was one Disney movie that they claimed if you listen to it backwards at a certain speed you can almost hear someone telling girls to take off their clothes. Ok, that may be but most of us watch/listen in the forward mode at normal speed.
Our first movie, "Rockin' the Wall," a documentary about rock music's part in bringing down the Iron Curtain, actually got on PBS. Yet it's G-rated, has a terrific salvation story mentioning Jesus Christ in it, and is purely about liberty and American freedoms shared with others.
We have been working for three years to fund "Patriot's History of the United States" video. This has been tougher. Except for Citizens United, not one conservative foundation or group has given us any support at all. So we'll get it done without them.
Finally we have a terrific treatment for a movie about the defense of Malta in 1565, which Hollywood will never make because the Christians win.
Go see God’s not dead. Great movie and well done.
Pray America wakes up
To be realistic it is hard to find 600 year old actors.

The midrashiest midrash that ever was midrashed [a spoiler-free “Noah” review]

Hasn't Doug heard about this?
Well ... considering this atheist director said he made the LEAST BIBLICAL ‘biblical movie’ ... one can’t expect anything from it except atheist and liberal PROPAGANDA!
Wait, I just figured out how a film named “Noah” can be made that has no Biblically accurate parts in it.
The film is about a DIFFERENT Noah.
Yeah, that’s it.
I’m not familiar with Doug Giles, but thus was an unimpressive smarmy and empty essay.
Not often one gets to use smarmy, but this fits it to a tee.
The problem is that many Christian movie-makers cant make a movie that is even worth watching. They either have terrible writing, bad acting, lame special effects or a message that is so in your face that many people feel like they just went to church. Even the quality of the image itself is almost like it is made to go straight to VHS.
Movies are supposed to be entertaining with a message that the viewer arrives at because the production is so well done. The Passion of the Christ is the only one that seemed to get above the usual lameness.
Who does he think is going to back, promote, distribute, and produce-on the regular Hollywood scale of movies, not necessarily the blockbuster scale-a movie written and filmed from a Biblically Christian PoV?
The following “movie” or documentary - is not a mindless entertainment movie - but it gets down to what the Flood and Noah was all about. From that standpoint, it’s a hundred times better than this atheist director spouting his leftist, atheistic, ‘green’ environmentalism PROGANDA at you.

The only reason people will now go to see it is over all the controversy over it. I couldn’t see the “Passion of Christ” that movie Mel Gibson made (using his own resources) was because it was too violent (friends who saw told me). Hollyweird will never ever make a movie that would be accurate. They’ll come close but never will be at the level where Christians will agree it portrays accurate Biblical accuracy.
We would if Hollywood would let us. I wrote a Script “Forgotten Valor” about one forgotten hero in the Battle of the Bulge and I had one company Alcon Entertainment read it and then they never called back because I had a small Christian undertone to it. I had one Producer tell me that Hollywood just isn’t interested in the Private Ryan type of movies any more.. I guess if I had made the two lead Characters homos who fell in love and had a sick sex scene in it I would have won an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Cannes Film Festival award. Hollywood makes crap. Thanks for my Rant.
All over earth there are marine fossils that have been known to humans since forever. These fossils spawned the universal myths of a flood.
Why must Christians take the movie personally when flood stories permeate almost all cultures?
I’m with Doug on this one. Its a movie for goodness sake. Its just entertainment.
We don’t go to the movies anymore because Mr. GG2 won’t take his gun off and a couple of other politically incorrect reasons but we plan to catch it on PPV as soon as its available.
