Movie Review "Munich"

I really enjoyed this movie, I was an infant when it happened yet never heard of these events until I saw the movie. Very powerful, it was an inside look at the turmoil involved in the lives of the men chosen to retaliate to terrorism and the difficulty of engaging in similar tactics in fighting them. I was surprised to see that the events that surround us today are not really different from the world then, yet everyone seems to think this is something new. Apparently the facts of these events are not known only speculated based on a few factual bits of information so the movie is based on true events but purely speculation when it comes to the specifics of the men and there mission. Very well done, I thought I would watch the movie and like it, I didn't expect to be so moved by it. Great job Mr. Speilburg. Violence, blood, sex and nudity.

Movie Review "Kingdom of Heaven"

I was surprised at how much I loved this movie. I didn't even know who was in it before I saw them on the screen. It was very well done, I loved the story, the action, the scenic images. As far as I could tell from the DVD featurettes it was historically accurate at least the real historical characters that were portrayed. I had no idea of such events happening during the crusades. I also appreciated that it did not take the typical stand against the "evil crusading christians" that we allways here of nor did it portray the Muslims as evil. It portrayed honor among the knighthood, and the muslim warriors as well as the evil and treachery that existed in that world and this one. I am sure the subject of the movie is what kept people from seeing it in the theater but it was well worth the viewing, I learned a lot and was entertained in the process. Lots of blood and violence there may have been some nudity as well.

Emerging Church

I recently read a blog regarding John MacArthers new book and the Emerging Church. I know little about this Emerging Church thing, I am curious to find out what it is all about. I have been out of the Church world for a few years and am just getting back in and finding that some things have changed in the mean time. My new church seems to be very accuarate and applicable. It is hard for me to imagine that people would call something God's church without holding up His Word as truth, but it happens.

I'm figuring some of this out

I Got some links up, I noticed that i have no other posts so no one is reading this but me. oh, well.
