I look forward to seeing this film. I've always been a big fan of the Exodus story. It will be nice to see a documentary like this aside from fictional movies like THe Passion of Christ or the DaVinci Code where entertainment is the focus.

From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary I added the Bold... Dan Brown wrote a pretty darn good work of Fiction and now hopefully it will be a good movie.... I don't get why so many are up in arms.. he never represented anything as truth... I think some people cannot seperate the fiction from the non-fiction, especially when it comes to religion. Brown, at the beginning of his books, indicates which things are true, and confirms that everything else is his imagination or hypothesis. From Browns website:

I enjoyed the Foundation series by Asimov, but it has been years since I've read them. I may have to revisit the books.

I agree with all of that except the last point. I always thought Jackson had no business in that movie....they should have had a no-name actor playing that part....to have a hollywood heavyweight like Jackson in such a small role, just seemed weird to me. It's not like Lucas needed a big name to sell the movie, afterall. Same with Jimmy Smits. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Doh! Bite your tongue! Obviously, I love the Mace Windu character, especially from watching the Clone War Cartoons which give a good story arch from Episode II to Episode III.

I just saw the show this weekend. I like it, but I have a few comments: 1) Amidala is complete window dressing in this movie. This is not the strong woman we met in the first two movies, but a damsel in distress. Quite disappointing. When she confronts Anakin, she should've slapped him, or at least tried to, or something other than, "Oh Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" Yuck. 2) Hayden Christensen is an okay actor, but certainly not up to the part of Darth Vader/Anakin. His brooding looks took the character only so far. 3) I love the Special Effects. As always, they make the movie. 4) I'm dissappointed in Lucas because he made Yoda retreat. It would have been better to see Palpatine do something underhanded to get the edge in the fight. 5) I feel for Samuel L. Jackson's Character, yet, Mace could still be alive. Just because he was shot out the window by the electrical charge does not mean he fell to his death. I just want Mace to live because he kicks butt.

I'm currently reading "God Is A Verb", by Rabbi David A Cooper. A very good book so far, and very enlightening in regards to Kabbalah.

Right now I'm reading "Tuesdays with Morrie". Excellent book so far.
