					  <link>http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/177/1/Movie-Review-Twilight/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Several years ago, I vaguely remember my tween-age daughter telling me about <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span>, a new book that she and her friends were reading. Mom had looked it over and assured me it was no big deal. Now, flash forward to opening night of the new big screen version of <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> and I can tell you from being there, the words &#8220;Big Deal&#8221; are a HUGE understatement. At our nearest theater, young girls (and their moms) were in line two hours in advance of the theater doors opening and, on a national level, Fandango reported that they had been selling 5 Twilight tickets per second as of early Friday morning, &#8220;making <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> online ticket-seller Fandango's fastest-selling film since <span style="font-style: italic;">The Dark Knight</span> last July.&#8221;&nbsp; Yes, it&#8217;s a very big deal and the young ladies in your youth group will definitely be seeing this one. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[From <span style="font-style: italic;">Fargo</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Raising Arizona</span>, to last year&#8217;s <span style="font-style: italic;">No Country For Old Men</span>, the Coen brothers have built their careers on films that strangely blend the absurd with the normal. <span style="font-style: italic;">Burn After Reading</span>, and the self-absorbed goofballs that make up the film, neatly fit into that bizarre, yet entertaining, repertoire of movies.<br/>]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/159/1/Movie-Review-The-X-Files-I-Want-to-Believe/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 12px;">
For the first time in a decade, everyone's two favorite investigators
of all things paranormal, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully
(Gillian Anderson), are reunited on the big screen in <i>The X-Files: I Want to Believe.</i>
Unfortunate to say, if you&#8217;ve been a fan of the X-Files throughout the
years, you&#8217;ll probably leave the theater more confused than you came in
and wondering&#8230; What was I supposed to believe?</span></font> ]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Movie Review: The Hulk]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/149/1/Movie-Review-The-Hulk/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[If you like a movie that rolls the nostalgia of the Hulk of old in with the hi-tech CGI of today&#8217;s top computer programmers, this is a flick for you. You&#8217;ll flash back when you see the &#8220;lonely man walking down the empty highway&#8221; scene that closed each Hulk episode during it&#8217;s TV run, smile at the cameo appearances by Stan Lee (the creator of all things Marvel Comics), Lou Ferrigno (the original TV version of His Hulky-ness) and even one of Bill Bixby (TV's Banner) shown on a television screen. You may even laugh out loud when Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) stops by Stanlee&#8217;s Pizza (Stan Lee&#8217;s...get it?). Then you&#8217;ll either be totally mesmerized, or sea-sick, by the whirl of non-stop special effects that take place in the 3 or 4 major fight scenes. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[
In 1920, a committee was formed to investigate allegations of the
throwing of the 1919 world series by the Chicago White Sox. As
&#8220;Shoeless&#8221; Joe Jackson &#8211; one of the most revered member of that
infamous White Sox team &#8211; exited the hearing, a small young fan was
waiting for Joe on the courthouse steps. The young boy, with tears in
his eyes, looked at Shoeless Joe and uttered those now famous words,
&#8220;Say it ain&#8217;t so, Joe. Say it ain&#8217;t so.&#8221; Joe never answered but his
career was over. ]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Movie Review: Iron Man]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/118/1/Movie-Review-Iron-Man/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[To be in full disclosure, let me just say that Iron Man was my favorite
superhero when I was growing up. As an avid comic book fan I was
thrilled to find out that <span style="font-style: italic;">Iron Man</span> was the next Marvel hero to be made
into a movie, until I learned that Robert Downey Jr. had been selected
to play the lead. However, with each trailer and each sneak preview I
found on line, I became more and more excited to see the finished
product. ]]></description>
