Haven't seen it, don't plan to see it. Every Pastor I know recommends NOT seeing it, because supposedly it's about gay cowboys.

The 40 yr, old Virgin WAS funny. (I personally could of done WITHOUT the nudity, but on the whole, it was good.) I wanted to buy it for my best-friend, as a gag gift for Christmas...she was 33 before she lost her virginity. NO, I don't think it would be a good movie for the WHOLE family. I DEFINATELY would NOT let my 13 year old son watch it! (eesh!)

In the Magician's Nephew a world is created beautiful and good and with all the beings in it having direct knowledge of their creator. This creation is set under the rule of a man and a woman, under the guidance of the creator, who walks and talks with them. But evil enters the world thanks to the wrongdoing of two humans, and causes damage which can only be repaired in time by the death of an innocent and willing victim - the creator himself. In The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, the world is suffering under the rule of the entity which introduced evil into the world, but there is struggle going on between those who obey her rule and those who are still loyal to the creator. An act of betrayal brings a sentence of death upon the sinner, but instead the lion freely offers himself as a sacrifice. He is delivered helpless into the hands of the evil, is mocked, beaten, humilated and finally killed. Two women weep over his body and prepare him hastily for burial. When they return the body is gone, and they believe that it has been taken away by his killers. Then they see him - himself again and alive, but transformed. He tells them that the power of death has been broken. He helps them do battle against evil, and leaves them after a short while. In the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the travellers are greeted on the farthest shore by a lamb, who invites them to eat with them. Only when the meal is about to begin do they recognise that it is their friend the lion. In the Last Battle, the world is corrupted by a ruler who fakes the words of the creator and interprets all signs and omens of his displeasure as agreement. In fact the ruler has handed the world over to the power of evil. A final battle ensues between good and evil, and then the creator winds up his creation, including a last trump, rolling up of the sky and the sea, and so on. The characters who have been loyal to the creator find themselves in a world of which the world they knew was just a faint and imperfect imitation, where they are reunited with their loved ones, and will live forever in the presence of the creator. Throughout, bad characters throw doubt on the existence of the Lion, and especially on his resurrection. This all sounds fairly Christian-influenced to me! Similarly his Science Fiction novels are "what if?" narratives based on Christian beliefs, expecially those of the Creation, the Fall and the Atonement, which Lewis takes to be fairly essential parts of Christian doctrine. For example, if it happened that there were creatures on other planets with souls, would they also have fallen with our Fall (and therefore been saved with Christ's Atonement) or would a seperate Fall and Atonement be necessary for different Creations? What would happen to unfallen creatures if they came into contact with (the certainly Fallen) people from Earth? That gives you the basic plot outlines of his Sci-Fi books. Incidentally, in his academic career Lewis was best known for his work on medieval allegory (his book "The Allegory of Love" is still the definitive work). He was writing allegories of Christianity in his fiction. THANK YOU! That is THE best explaination I have EVER heard concerning these works! Now, I get it!

I NEVER DID and still DON'T see the Christianity part of this! I LOVED the animated "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wordrobe", it made me cry! BUT, I just don't see what it has to do with GOD!? I actually use to feel that it was "Pagan-ish", until I learned that it was "looked at" as Christian...now, I just don't "get it"...?

I'm reading "Moon Shadows" by Nora Roberts and three other authors...but then, I'm ALWAYS reading a Romance novel of SOME kind!

I KNOW that Hollywood is going to add to it, "spice it up", but I am hoping that it will STILL be good! I mean, look what they did to "Amityville Horror" and "The Exorcist"! But, all in all they were still pretty good. I wish they would just show the facts sometimes, but I suppose that it wouldn't "sell" as well. I like to watch it the first time, get good and "freaked out", then watch it again later, and pick out all the mistakes the Catholic Priest made! In MY church ALL of these movies would have lasted about a half hour! We believe that ANY true believer can cast out devils...AND without the "fancy", prewritten prayers! PLUS, we don't believe that the enemy can stay there (in a person, place or thing) as long as it does in the movies, once the name of Jesus is used against it! So...picking it appart in this way is fun too!

I was curious if anyone went to see the movie, "The exorsism of Emily Rose"? AND, I was also wondering, if so/or if not, are you planning to buy it when it comes out December 20th???... I KNOW I am!!! I'll be the first in line! (I told you all, I LOVE scary movies!)

Mercy Me, I think. I have the CD, so I'll have to check to be absolutly sure...but I THINK that's it.

The most beautiful Christian song I have heard in a LONG time has to be "Imagine" (or is it, "I can only imagine"?-at any rate, it's a BEAUTIFUL song!)

The Birdcage!!! (I love that movie!)

I, Personally, like to read Romance books! BUT, NOT just any old Romance books...I like ones about Vampires and/or Witches!!! Maggie Shayne Rocks!!!
