Thursday, March 4, 2004
If you do not have an adequate grasp of the Bible and, in particular, the story of the Passion, before entering the theater to see Mel Gibson's big-screen rendition, be prepared for one of the most perplexing and eventually frustrating moviegoing experiences of your life.
Jesus' Savior
Thursday, March 4, 2004
If you don't like a Jesus movie, does that mean you'll go to hell? As a product of the penguin house - that's Catholic school to you heathens - a new movie about the big J.C. perked my interest.
