"The Rapture" now on Video---Ebert gave this great film 4 stars
I remember the first time I saw this film and I thought "Damn, here's a film maker that tackles a religious subject the way a Democrat/Possessive or even an Atheist would..I love it"


From Ebert's review: 4 out of 4 stars

>>There have been dozens of movies that dealt in one way or another with the afterlife, with death and heaven and hell. But not until Michael Tolkin's "The Rapture" has there been a movie to seriously consider what the end of the world might be like, if the biblical prophecies turn out to be literally true. Here is one of the most radical, infuriating, engrossing, challenging movies I've ever seen. There are people who love it and many who hate it, but few who can remain on the sidelines<<<
