Reviews of Recent Films

Here is a mini-review of films I've seen in the past few months. They are sorted by whether they are spiritually okay versus whether they are destructive.

SPIRITUALLY OKAY

Slumdog Millionaire (good message of perserverence & honesty)
The International (one man can win despite big odds)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (true value isn't skin deep)
The Changeling (one woman can win despite big odds)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (fight back and God will let you win)
Australia (one person can restore human rights)
Flash of Genius (persistence can result in justice)
Sweetzer (my friend is in it)
Eagle Eye (Big Brother can be brought down)
Beverly Hills Chihuahua (small but mighty)
Defiance (an organized free group can survive despite Nazi oppression)
Pride and Glory (honesty must prevail above family ties)


SPIRITUALLY DESTRUCTIVE

Pink Panther (lauds ineptness)
Last Chance Harvey (denies youthfulness to the aging)
Four Christmases (despressing)
Hellboy II (hellish)
Marley and Me (we had a dog.)
