Evangelical meets Ayn Rand

With all the negative comments posted I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. If you want a comedy with big laughs all the way, then this is not for you. And the production etc. is obviously not much to speak of. But if you're in for a little satire on religion, then you might as well watch this. It doesn't go after any of the known religions, but rather after mass hysteria, preachers as well as greed and egoism. There are some unfulfilled premises, like what happens with the short-sellers, and the traditional religions in the end. The acting is so-so, but Gerald Orange is for sure a very believable preacher. It's not one to buy, but if it's on TV, then have a look.

Tom Cruise & Obama together in this Religious Pamphlet (DVD)

Well, sort of. Actually, the actors (Penner for Cruise and Orange for POTUS) look very much alike and it was my best idea to get your attention. In all cases, it stars the real Sandra Bullock even if her part is a bit small. Thus, she doesn't worth to be at full on the cover! it's a con for idiots (like me!).

It's a very strange flick than this one. It's original because it tackles the two great driving forces of the third millennium (Capitalism and Religion) but the outcomes is rather unusual: a comedy sure but also a criticism of sharks and bigots with a touch of fantastic (God talking in TV while playing tennis). Unfortunately, except the 80s-90s feel, the script fails to grasp such big and explosive thematic.

As ever, we are in need of those movies about faith, wild globalization but a better cast and story would be welcomed. With this movie, it's a golden opportunity missed so everything is still to tell.

Too true!

Shades of the Family and the house at C Street! This could have been (may have been!)an inspirational film for Those-Who-Won't-Be-Named in the right-wing elite. The basic premise is "make money while justifying anything you want to do." Taken as a straight film, it's atrocious - the reproduction is bad, the sound is bad, the writing is sophomoric, the acting ... (you get the idea) But as a piece of satire it's precious. The most troubling aspect is how precisely it portrays the greed and self-centered nature of so much of religion, business, and politics. The film makers couldn't take it to the end without a change of conscience. Now, that's a real fairy tale!
