I want to watch the labyrinth, but from the reviews, thought it would be harsh--this from a girl who used to love stories about people getting eaten by wolves--but when you are a child fantasy violence is merely words on a page--or nightmares!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-12603936341035514222007-10-21T21:55:00.000-05:002007-10-21T21:55:00.000-05:00If Christianity is so banal and unimportant and fu...If Christianity is so banal and unimportant and full of deluded folks, why do non-believers fight so hard to mock, suppress, or destroy it? (Maybe they subscribe to the idea that the best defense is a good offense.)<BR/><BR/>In my quest to catch up with the movies that my acquaintances have seen, I watched 'Shooter' this afternoon.

The main character remained a patriot despite his dislike for some of the presidents and other politicians, and I can I respect that.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-58341570183566413732007-10-21T12:01:00.000-05:002007-10-21T12:01:00.000-05:00Absolutely spot on regarding 'The Number 23' and i...Absolutely spot on regarding 'The Number 23' and its negative view on traditional faith. It is astounding that people will cast aside a belief system that has been tested again and again and is accepted by about a billion people in order to follow some cockamamie theory of the week.Jeff Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950686688288213875noreply@blogger.com
