Wait until he finds out that Santa Claus isn't.

This universe is big enough for
BOTH
Jesus and Santa.

Stop trying to make children cry!

That's why every winter, I do my part to take the X out of Xmas.

But....but...the mystery! Please save the mystery and unknown!

And the Easter Bunny doesn't really leave those eggs for him.

Fortunately, everyone who believes in the Rainbow Bridge For People will happily reinforce his belief in Jesus.

Not that I always agree with film critics, and they've been very wrong about some movies in the past, but I'm skeptical that's the case here. And I have no issues with movies that have predominantly religious subject matter or figures as their main characters (because there are some extremely good movies that have done that). But this isn't going to be one of them, I'm afraid.

Film Critic Steve Pulaski for Influx Magazine gave the film a D-, stating, "Optimism for Heaven is for Real being Christian film’s present silver lining quickly dwindled about a third of the way through the picture. You’ve heard of movies 'wearing their heart on their sleeve,' meaning they always make their emotions very clear to the audience and possess no attempt to disguise their feelings? Heaven is for Real rips its heart out of its chest, plasters it on both of its sleeve, its shirt, its pants-legs, and shows it to you up close to show just how emotionally potent it is."

But I suspect that that is the way that
American fundamentalists like these movies.

I guess these films do decent business.

I guess these films do decent business.

It's one of the hottest genres right now. NBC Nightly News had a feature about it a few weeks ago. (http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/54549667#54549667)

Although, I'm pretty sure there will be a major shit storm when Ridley Scott's movie Exodus: Gods and Kings is released later this year.

I think people sense the End Days
and are hedging their bets. ;)

Haha. Oh mai! Seen at Costco!

Why is Christopher Guest making hand-farty noises there?

I would rather watch Arrietty

Heh, yeah, if I could make movies at all,
I might have to try a Christian movie:
"The Rise of Lazarus" or something.

Agenda driven movies: One of the reasons I don't bother going to the movies anymore, I suspect.

Aww, but don't you at least want to buy the "Heaven Is Real" t-shirt?

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

Son, I'm not sure if you're theistic or not; but if so, you really, really wouldn't want to see the kind of shirt I wear!

Let's just say I don't go to church much at all simply because I would have to change. A lot.

Well, it would be something to put on
for April Fools' Day.
