Maybe we have differing opinions I am not 100% sure, I'm cool with that I know I don't like to be preached at, therefore I try not to preach at people. I am a Christian though. I believe it all [The Bible] just on blind faith. I don't try to explain it, or rationalize it, or change people's minds, or argue with science... I just believe. As a Christian I look at it as, the Bible is all we know, but perhaps not all there is to know. I accept that others don't believe (in any faith), and I don't judge anyone for their beliefs or lack of, it is not my place to judge. I do know I AM judged for being forthright about saying that I am a Christian though. That's how it goes I guess. Anyway... I think the deal with the Jews, is that they were expecting a King, in the ideal of what we think of when we think of a King - someone royal, grand. Jesus is the King, but not the worldly King the Jews envisioned, there lies the disconnect. The Jews thought it blasphemous of Jesus to go around proclaiming that he was the Son of God, that He was God in the flesh. To the Jews Jesus is probably one step up from a common beggar... so no, not a King in the eyes of the Jews. Just my take on it. Anyway, nice review. I too enjoyed the movie I saw it when it was first released. It made me feel guilty, and I admit, I cried a lot during the movie. I need to watch it again at some point. It was a very moving film for me personally. Got here via your twitter page - I just followed you btw. Thanks and take care, Jim @SEO_Web_Design Hi Eugene,

People I know who definitely knew or remembered Milk said Penn's performance was spot on. I haven’t seen I Am Sam, but some likened Penn’s performance as Harvey Milk to his performance in IAS.

I thought it worked, as I said in my post, on some level as a character study. What do people in pressure situations do? Oh, believe me, I don't love Danny Boyle because of "Slumdog." That movie was fine and all, but definitely not deserving of such ridiculous hype. The reason I think it's a good movie is, to repeat myself from above again (sorry, I really should come up with better arguments), because it's sci-fi without the sci-fi. Yeah it has the Monster Man, but it's not like aliens and laser and shit. I thought Solaris did it better (Solaris was good, but not great as well). Using space and the circumstances as the backdrop, not the plot. And I'm always a little too forgiving of movies that look amazing. And while it's CGI and whatnot a lot, I thought it was a pretty nice looking movie.

What I saw was a movie about a bunch of so-called professionals acting like undisciplined, squabbling idiots when they were supposed to be saving the world. It isn't just Monster Man; the thing starts out dumb and only goes downhill from there. Alex Garland couldn't write his way out of a tree if someone tied a rope to him and pulled. Or do we have to like everything Danny Boyle does now, now that he's got his fifteen minutes of darlinghood with "Slumdog Millionaire"...? “Still a very good movie”… why, exactly?
