Christmas
with the Kranks (PG): Based
on the John Grisham book, "Skipping Christmas," this delightful
movie offers fun for the whole family. However, adults would probably
have more fun with it. Tim Allen plays a perfect
Mr. Krank who wants to skip the christmas festivities now that his
daughter has joined the Peace Corpse and will not be home. His wife
(Jamie Lee Curtis) reluctantly agrees to the plan but the neighbors
protest and challenge them to partake in the Christmas festivities.
Allen fits the character perfectly and adds a great deal to this
movie. Jamie-Lee Curtis seems to be over-acting. Overall, I will
give this my highest rating: Receives
a Blessing. MovieReview

My
Review for Worst Picture of the Year:
King
Arthur - (PG-13): The latest in Hollywood's attempt to
make the Church a punching bag, King Arthur is filled with many
historical errors. First of all, the movie tells us that Rome was
in present day England and recruiting members for their Army in
467 AD. Rome Fell in 450 AD. It also suggests that these Middle
ages makes the pope as the head of the Roman Empire. While the Pope
did lead a Holy Roman Empire, it was certainly not at this period.
The movie tells us that King Arthur had a personal hero in Christianity
by the name of Pelagius. Arthur was saddened that Pelagius was killed
by the Catholic Church for his political stance on free will. While
Pelagius did live during the 5th century, he did not die a martyr.
Although his philosophy was condemned, it was not for his desire
to proclaim free will for all people. Pelagianism (after Pelagius)
is considered a heresy in the church, because it promotes the philosophy
that apart from Christ, we can earn our own salvation. The special
effects were exciting, but that's all I can say in favor of this
anti-Catholic film. My Review: Needs Last Rites

My
Review for Best Picture of the Year for Adults:
Ray
(PG-13): Wow! A very good movie about the legendary singer
and writer, Ray Charles. Jamie Foxx could get an oscar for this
one. Though the movie was long, I was glued to the screen. The raw
life of Ray Charles (good and bad) and his music are perfectly sewn
together by Taylor Hackford, the biographical producer of this blockbuster.
Intended for adults. Receives a Blessing

Plato's
Gift to Christianity: Jerry Dell Ehrlich - This is a must
read for any Christian who wants to understand just how important
the Greek speaking nations were to the early Christians and Jesus
himself. It challenges the traditional thought that most, if not
all, of our Christian faith comes from the Judeo way of thinking
before and during the time of Jesus. Ehrlich shows that Plato's
influence on the people living in Jerusalem and in the surrounding
areas during the life of Christ is great indeed. Plato and other
Greek philosphers radically challenge the way of thinking for people
of the New Way. Receives a Blessing

Lasagna- La Bella, Chula Vista: If you want good
ol' American-Italian lasagna, just go to La Bella's on 3rd Street

among locals. The do deliver. A recent event at our parish proved
that their delivery methods are efficient. La Bella's a is a great
place for lunch for downtown workers and dinner for the whole family.
