Haven't seen the movie yet myself, but could be one to look out for when it's released (19th March on blu-ray).
Machine Gun Preacher
I won't be holding my breath for a by-the-book Christian spin on things; but it's always interesting to watch movies that at least show some respect for Christianity if it's used the theme for a film, The Book of Eli being one.

Re: Machine Gun Preacher
The "Book of Eli" was a GREAT movie. A man of God, in a mainstream movie, with a top actor(Denzel) being portrayed as a hero! What a pleasant surprise!Stu wrote:Haven't seen the movie yet myself, but could be one to look out for when it's released (19th March on blu-ray).

1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Ah glad I'm not the only one. Really enjoyed The Book of Eli myself; Denzel kicked some serious post-apocalyptic butt in that one

Re: Machine Gun Preacher
I'm looking forward to seeing Machine Gun Preacher, if only for Mr. Chris Cornell's lovely song from it!
