Word of Promise - Moviestar Audio Bible (Free-Access Link)

Woahhhh! The Moviestars are reading the Bible! Totally orchestrated and theatrical. I've never heard the Bible like this before - not sure if I'm totally for it yet. But hey if it gets people reading the Bible - that's pretty sweet. My friend from New City Baptist Chruch, Michael Plato, just sent this to me - I'm pretty stoked. You can actually access this theatrical audio Bible here online. Hopefully these texts of the Bible will lead the actors to contemplate God's greatness and come to Christ. What do you think of this audio Bible? Check out the cast...

3D movies - soon to be a thing of the past

Do you have trouble concentrating when you see a film in 3D - I usually get headaches.
Believe it or not it looks like movies in 3D might not be around for that much longer -
A review and critique on these by Walter Murch posted by Robert Ebert, gives a great outline of just why.
Sum-up: Movies that succumb to the 3D appeal are lacking in film making technique and skill.
I agree with him, minus the evolution of humans over 600 million years, - I like good ol' fashion 2D.
Filmmakers are storytellers - they need to have variety, and that one-of-a-kind appeal. Or at least steal from the great ones of the past.
Why not try a couple black and white films - Hitchcock rocked it - and he's legend.
Tell me, have you even seen Strangers on a Train ?
