Movie posters
Monday, February 04, 2008
Check out Imp Awards. It is a brilliant collection of movie posters, ideal for thinking about the power of the image in advertising. You can even compare how the same film is marketed in different countries.
New Veggie Tales!
Saturday, December 29, 2007
From Mike Nawrocki:
Hi everyone!
Hi everyone, I'm Mike Nawrocki - Co-Creator of VeggieTales, voice of Larry the Cucumber and the Director of our brand new film, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything."
In the 14 year history of the show, I haven't been more happy or proud of a production. It's a big, epic, funny and song-filled film. Like all VeggieTales episodes, including our last feature film, "Jonah", it has at its center a core biblical value. In "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" we demonstrate that God calls us into adventure and equips us with what we need to heed that call (like Abraham, like Moses, like the Apostles). We're called to act - to do what's right and be the hero God has called us to be.
Unlike Jonah, it's not a retelling of a Bible story. It's a modern day parable. But I believe it's message can be equally as powerful to kids and families in that it helps to illustrate God's character and His Kingdom.

Christian responses to the Golden Compass
Saturday, December 01, 2007
There have been various thoughts about The Golden Compass, which is the film adaptation of the first book in British author Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” fantasy trilogy, published in the UK under the title “Northern Lights”. The film is due for release across the UK on the 5th December. In the movie, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, a young girl’s quest to uncover the reason behind her friend’s disappearance concludes with the killing of a character named God.
Children Matter has been trying to bring together views across the spectrum:
Church of Scotland wary of Pullman boycott
Evangelical newspaper urges parents to watch Pullman with children

Some interesting thoughts. I guess my initial reaction is that people should be less critical, and instead encourage young people to engage with the film in a supportive way. For me it seems to be double standards for Christians to complain about anti-Christian films being published, but then be keen to push things like the Passion of the Christ or even films like Evan Almighty. What do you think?
Films for 17-18 year olds
Monday, August 13, 2007
Tomorrow night we are doing an all-nighter with our 17-18 year olds but they haven't come up with any good film suggestions. They wanted to watch two films - mainly action/comedy/possibly a romcom, any suggestions gratefully received.
Evan Almighty Trailer
Saturday, June 09, 2007
There has been a lot of stuff about this film over the last few months. Even if it is half as good as Bruce Almighty it will be such a great film and so useful in ministry work.
