 "Cleaner", the new Samuel L. Jackson movie starring Eva Mendes and Ed Harris, 'sweeps' the screen with blood and intrigue. Its scene transitions send home the point that Jackson, playing Tom Cutler, is a crime scene cleaner and once former police officer. His partner, Harris playing Eddie Lorenzo, comes in on the scene with a somewhat predicable story-line. Jackson is raising his daughter, Rose, played by Keke Palmer, alone as they deal with the loss of her mother, his wife.

 Looking through the eyes of a child with Narnia's PG rating could be challenging. As a child, not knowing what the allegory means, and how C.S. Lewis arranged the Narnia story to bring out a David a Goliath scenario, would understandably cause a child to watch this movie at face value. In that, the question is, can the story out shine the violence for the young? I liked the message "Prince Caspian" was bringing. It carried honor throughout the film. As a parent, you can see the allegory and a message. Yet, as I sat in the theater from the opening of the film as Prince Caspian's aunt, Queen Prunaprismia, (Alicia Borrachero), screams while giving birth to the son that King Miraz, (Sergio Castellitto), was determined would take the throne, I wondered how the children in the theater would be reacting to what was starting with intensity and became hugely, a story of great battle. |

 "The Great Debaters", is rich in the subject of racism. This subject reaches the heart of myself and every Christian. It brings outrage to the individual who is rooted in equality and especially, those whose heart, whatever race you may be, believe sincerely against racial prejudice. "The Great Debaters" brings out the atrocity of racism and the wrongful treatment of our brothers in America, due to ridiculous stupidity in judging a man by his color. As with Forrest Whitaker's character, Dr. James Farmer Sr., earning finances as professor of theology at Wiley College, educated, and judged for the color of his skin by uneducated white men after running into their pig and killing it on the road with his car. He signs over his paycheck and protects his family from their gun threats. As you watch, you find yourself outraged with the history of human injustice against humanity because of the color of their skin or, as in Hitler, even their faith. Inclusive of the treatment of humanity, it reminds you of abolitionists such as in the film, "Amazing Grace", (a recommended film by us), where William Wilberforce fought to stop slave trading and finally prevailed through the Lord's guidance. You are reminded of the genocides throughout the world today that still continue, many because the Christian faith is unaccepted as in Sudan, and throughout Africa. If you understand the depth of this history, you remind yourself as the roots of black Gospel are brought out, the true history of how slave trading in Africa actual began. It was as today rooted in Sudan, they were sold by fellow African's who did not embrace their Christian faith and therefore sold millions of Christians into slavery for monetary gain. |
