Mar 2014

I was tempted to see Son of God, to take my kids to see it since they loved Jesus Christ Superstar, but when I found out it was a reworking of the problematic TV series, it fell from my list. I'm exposing them to different pieces of various religions and doing a dramatic non-musical take would have been interesting if it was a bit more reality based I guess I'd say.

Noah is one that I'm curious about, simply because of the talents involved, but that first full length trailer just did not work at all. It's too "star" filled and hard to see past them into the kind of lives these people would have really lived.
