Through the "Fire" of Life: Hold Your Breath!!

Hold Your Breath!!

Just saw the movie "Poseidon", a remake of the 1970's "Poseidon Adventure". Hold your breath, I almost drowned with all that water. If you are claustrophobic at all, you will be sqirming in your seat. Some of the scenes of the people crawling through hatches reminded me of my firefighter training of having to navigate a pitch black maze, except they had some light from flashlights which we did not.





Another movie, The Da Vinci Code , is soon showing in theatres. What's the big deal about this movie? Well, the good thing is that it will get people talking about our Lord and Saviour. The bad thing is that it is "rife" with inaccuracies. See the link above for more info. If such an inaccurate depiction of Mohammad had been dramatized in a similar movie, Muslims worldwide would be up in arms in even a far greater way than when those derogatory cartoons of Mohammad came out.
If people are talking about Christ, that's a good thing. The inaccuracies of Brown's work can easily be raised to "debunk" this film.

Hey...cool down, it's just a movie. Read the book. Think about it...After all, Jesus was a man.

Yes, he was a man, but was also God in the flesh.

At least the Poseidon didn't actually sink, like the Titanic! I saw the original Poseidon movie and it was really good. Can't wait to see this one when it comes out on DVD.
