another popular movie that clearly ends in blood-based substitutionary atonement

Gran Torino, that is. It was rough, but understandable considering the context.

And here is the "another" one I had in mind.

UP

Stuff is nice. But it's not all there is. Esteem can be healthy. But it usually blinds and chokes you.

People matter. And promises matter.

Usually, one cannot enjoy and experience the latter [people and promises] when they distracted by the former [stuff and esteem].

So, go see Up.

so good

"The Soloist"

Great movie. Go read my brother's review here.

NOTORiOUS

My brother's latest movie review is on "Notorious." It's an excellent read. Here. Personally, I don't think Puffy can top his "I'll be Missing You/I'll Fly Away" medley.

MOViE REViEWS

I've mentioned on here before that my brother writes excellent online movie reviews. His last few I haven't posted on here. They're great to read because they're well-written from the viewpoints of both artistry and the Christian worldview.
