Wet Sunday

Yesterday I went out after church with some friends to a local restaurant. We went by Ankot (public transportation) and had a great meal together. Of course just as we get up to leave the rain starts pouring. I didn't have an umbrella and didn't ride my bike so I had to run about half a mile to my house. i had sandles on and jeans so I rolled them off and took off my sandles and just ran. I was still soaking wet by the time I got home. So much fun.

Later that night I went and saw Constantine. I found it enjoyable but the theology was all over the place. It was written from a very heavily catholic tradition with some occult thrown in. I was sad that they minimalized the involvement of God in our lives and increased the power of the evil ones. It seems a little silly to me to think that we have to save ourselves against these awesome forces. I know I sure couldn't. Other than that is was fun and somewhat original.

I've been having some good discussions recently about religiously themed movies such as Signs and Bruce Almighty. Signs I found interesting philosophically but boring as a movie. Bruce Almighty I found very enjoyable and it dealt very well with some difficult religious questions like love, free will and power. Bruce Almighty I would highly recommend to anyone. Constantine I would recommend to fans of action and thriller movies but don't read too much into it. Signs I wouldn't really recommend unless you like M. Night Shmhamamalanannnnn.
