Angels and Demons – A Movie Review

May 17, 2009May 17, 2009 John Action, catholic church, Crime, Religion, Ron Howard, Thriller, Tom Hanks, Vatican

When Robert Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati — the most powerful underground organization in history — he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Star Trek (2009) – A Movie Review

May 17, 2009May 18, 2009 John Action, Adventure, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Chris Pine, Fantasy, J.J. Abrams, John Cho, Leonard Nimoy, Sci-Fi, star trek, Zachary Quinto

The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before. I’d recommend the movie.

Republicans Oppose Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee

May 8, 2009May 28, 2009 John David Souter, Jeff Sessions, Nominee, Samuel Alito, SCOTUS, senate, supreme court

The ink is barely dry on Justice David Souter’s letter of resignation from the Supreme Court, and the wingnuts in Rush Limbaugh’s Republican party are already complaining about Obama’s nominee for his replacement. The talking points are all so similar, it’s clear the effort is coordinated.

More Flap Over Miss Jugs for Jesus

May 6, 2009May 16, 2009 John Carrie Prejean, contract, Jugs for Jesus, Miss California Pageant, National Organization for Marriage, Nom, nude photos, obligations, professional christians

The brohaha over Carrie Prejean seems to be continuing as nudie pictures have surfaced, and she seems to think the contract she signed with the Miss Califonia organization doesn’t mean anything. It all sounds so Christian to me. I mean how dishonest and hypocritical. Seems a perfect with today’s version of professional christianity.
