Yeah, the possibility of a never-ending zombie (and human) hell saps my desire to watch. If the zombie threat ever ends, the show is over. It's certainly not an uplifting program.

I find that reading these reviews is enough to sate my curiosity about The Walking Dead, and it takes a lot less time!

It's been awhile and I don't fully remember, but my overall feeling was that the film presented the story without telling you to believe it. I thought the kid's visions clearly effected the characters and reaffirmed their faith, but the film didn't take a side on whether they were real. It was just a movie about…

I think it's fascinating to read these reviews and try to get inside the heads of the people that made these films.

Sorry to hear that, man. If it helps at all, I think many users here (myself included) have gone through crises of faith and gotten through it.

I think the genuinely tragic subject matter prevented too much injection of levity. If this were more banal Christian fare, the reviewer would probably have been able to turn up the snark.

Once you make that leap to accept the Bible as GOD's LITERAL, UNFAILING TRUTH, then you will do everything in your power to deny and denounce anything that contradicts it, no matter the soundness of the science. There's danger in any religion when some members blindly adhere to words that were written to fit a society…

During my devout Christian days, there was a popular belief that Darwin recanted evolution and re-avowed his faith on his deathbed. Even then I was skeptical.

I think the real sticking point for many fundamental Christians is not as much the process of evolution, but the fact that science says it takes millions of years to happen. The Bible says the Earth was created in a week and suggests only a few thousand years passed between that and humanity, and that MUST be taken…

"No, this cross will."

"Heaven is for Real" actually left a little room for interpretation in the kid's accounts and wasn't all that terrible, if I recall correctly. It was kind of a real movie.

Amazingly reserved. Give it time.

And then he said, "That belongs in a museum!!"

Poor Christian Bale.

Pure evil, or the biggest logical threat that could bring down a Christian's whole house of cards?

Short answer to your first question is "pure propaganda."

"And all the characters who oppose our point of view die" is the kind of writing I expect from an angry pre-teen, not adult filmmakers.

Have you not seen Ghost Rider? That's an awesome thing to have come out of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I read a great article about Queen recently that pointed out how the band had actually fallen out of favor - partially due to playing Sun City - but then kicked ass at Live Aid and won the world back to their side. It hasn't stopped.

That's amazing. And holy crap, Go!Zilla. Queen really missed out by not including a t-rex howl.
