  • The Da Vinci LOAD!

    May 19th, 2006

    DavinciWorried about folks seeing the Da Vinci Code? Don’t. They won’t be able to make it all the way through. And if they could, they’d be so mind-numbed by the end, they’d be begging for an exciting chance to watch water seep into brick!

    My review of this yawn-inspiring film is just a click away.

    I just this very moment got back from the theatre. My pic? What else? The Da Vinci Code. And Ive got two words for this film: STINK – ER!. Whoo-whee was this bad. And I, my friends, am a cinemaphile. It takes a LOT to make me dis a movie outright. I even enjoy some perverse delight in bad movies per se. Theyre usually fun on some level. But this one (and I am REALLY sad to say this) ranks right about up there with my all time worst on the Stink-o-Meter Vanilla Sky. Seriously do not even SAY the title Vanilla Sky in front of me, I break out in a rash. And this from a guy who LOVED Buckaroo Bonsai.

    Now, I know this gal who shall remain nameless because I dont want to get her in trouble – but she is smart, talented, really beautiful and gets me my movie tickets free. Ive known her for years and somebody REALLY needs to marry this gal. If you are looking, let me know, Ill think about setting you up. She is a gem. I mention her only to say that if she had not gotten me a free pass I WOULD HAVE FELT SO RIPPED OFF PAYING TO SEE THIS PIECE OF FLOTSAM!

  • Screwtape Meets Dan Brown – or – Da Vinci caught a “code”

    May 17th, 2006

    images2.jpgClick HERE for a delightful and insightful send up of C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape writing to Wormwood about the Da Vinci Code. Hysterical.

  • Mother’s Day – 2006

    May 14th, 2006

    mother.jpgEvery year, I write a Mother’s Day poem for my Mom. Sometimes they are humorous, other times they are more serious or sentimental.

    This year, I went more serious.

    I had the extraordinary privilege of being raised in a Christian home. Like Timothy, I can say that the faith which dwelt in my Grandmother and my Mother, I can say dwells in me as well.

    Love you Mom!

  • The Secret Message of Jesus

    May 13th, 2006

    mclaren.jpg I was going to write a review of this book, but I was too saddened. And, conflicted over how to approach such a clear departure from the faith. The review/response would have to be larger then the book. And to what end?

    As I pondered, a friend of mine, Ben Askins, sent me the following quote from C. S. Lewis on an unrelated subject. As I reflected upon it, I realized, it IS the review of this sad book. Why try to improve upon it?

    “All theology of the liberal type involves at some point… the claim that
    the real behavior and purpose and teaching of Christ came very rapidly to
    be misunderstood and misrepresented by his followers, and has been
    recovered or exhumed only by modern scholars.”

    Pray for Brian.
