This movie will give you a glimpse into how terrorists work in our world, country and small towns as a well as explore a man’s conflict with his Faith as he’s trapped in the midst of hard choices. ]]> no@spam.com (Scott Mills) Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:36:13 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/168/1/Movie-Review-Traitor/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/167/1/Movie-Review-Burn-After-Reading/Page1.html Fargo and Raising Arizona, to last year’s No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers have built their careers on films that strangely blend the absurd with the normal. Burn After Reading, and the self-absorbed goofballs that make up the film, neatly fit into that bizarre, yet entertaining, repertoire of movies.

Still in the top 5 at the box office after 3 weeks, it seems to have some mysterious staying power and its barely enforced PG-13 rating attracts a younger crowd.  ]]> no@spam.com (Jessica Robin) Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:38:13 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/166/1/Movie-Review-The-House-Bunny/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/163/1/Movie-Review-Henry-Poole-Is-Here/Page1.html Overview: Simple. Sweet. Unassuming. Bare bones, small cast, indie-style dram-edy that doesn’t try to be more than it is (i.e., no multilayered meanings with mile-deep subtexts, subtleties, and nuances). The core spiritual message gets top billing, but not in a way that feels overbearing or forced. ]]> no@spam.com (Dave Urbanski) Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:29:23 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/163/1/Movie-Review-Henry-Poole-Is-Here/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/161/1/Movie-Review-Swing-Vote/Page1.html Overview: A down-and-out drunkard from a small New Mexico town getting to cast the deciding vote in a presidential election? Despite the unbelievable (and admittedly flawed) premise, Swing Vote manages to bring up a good deal of important issues in an engaging way—with both humor and drama—and is full of lots of valuable fodder for discussion.  ]]> no@spam.com (Dave Urbanski) Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:10:54 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/161/1/Movie-Review-Swing-Vote/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/159/1/Movie-Review-The-X-Files-I-Want-to-Believe/Page1.html 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 The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Unfortunate to say, if you’ve been a fan of the X-Files throughout the years, you’ll probably leave the theater more confused than you came in and wondering… What was I supposed to believe? ]]> no@spam.com (Smitty Wheeler) Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:42:52 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/159/1/Movie-Review-The-X-Files-I-Want-to-Believe/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/158/1/Movie-Review-The-Dark-Knight/Page1.html no@spam.com (Dave Urbanski) Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:34:08 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/158/1/Movie-Review-The-Dark-Knight/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/151/1/Movie-Review-Hancock/Page1.html no@spam.com (Dave Urbanski) Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:47:59 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/151/1/Movie-Review-Hancock/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/150/1/Movie-Review-Wanted/Page1.html The Matrix (think stunning special effects, cartoonish gun violence, vague nods to spirituality, and a main character snatched from a humdrum, oppressive life by a band of renegades in the hopes that he can discover his unique identity and do a job none of them have the ability to pull off) and just a tad from Office Space (think sad-sack, pencil-pushing cubicle drone constantly pushed around by a nauseatingly repellent boss and only slightly less boorish girlfriend), Wanted doesn’t feel like a knockoff. In fact, it’s quite entertaining.  ]]> no@spam.com (Dave Urbanski) Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:20:45 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/150/1/Movie-Review-Wanted/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/149/1/Movie-Review-The-Hulk/Page1.html no@spam.com (Smitty Wheeler) Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:15:13 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/149/1/Movie-Review-The-Hulk/Page1.html
