I donβt identify with any particular religion, but I grew up in a Christian environment and have always been immensely interested in religious philosophy. A few years ago I moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a degree in filmmaking, and as a part of those studies began a small YouTube channel that specializes in film analysis.
One thing that I was surprised by during my studies was how little discourse there is about religious themes in film despite their fingerprints being everywhere. I donβt mean this in a cultural sense as much as a philosophical one: the human desire to believe in something greater than oneself - the same desire that births religion - is the driving force behind some of the greatest films of all time.
I wrote an essay on the subject, and later translated that same paper for the video that youβre currently looking at. It draws primarily from the works of theologian Reza Aslan, a man who like me was raised Christian but later converted to Islam.
I wonβt write more here as if Iβve got your interest, the essay will speak for itself. I am looking forward to any and all discourse that this may bring about.
Hi! I'm new to the Forza Horizon series and loving it!
I'm really liking some of the cars on the "become a stunt driver for an actor" questline (sorry I don't know the exact name because I play on another language).
Is there any way of knowing the cars used on those quests? Really liking some of them like the first one you drive when you meet the actor, looked like some kind of Ford Mustang but I don't know that much about cars so may be something else.
Probably some of you guys can help me so thank you and happy new year!
How awesome would a new Spaceballs be? Just a self-deprecating Star Wars movie, admitting all the mistakes of the last two trilogies, while being hilarious, and having some awesome characters? Would Disney allow it? Could it still be done?
Bill Pullman's rocked a beard that makes him look like a wizard, and it's only fitting that he comes back to play Lone Starr and give it a proper conclusion, for the money of course.

I had a dream about this last night. I dreamt that there was a movie that follows One-Eyed Willy, his endeavors, and how he ended up stuck in the cave years before The Goonies began.
It was titled "One-Eyed Willy - The First Goonie" which seemed like a pretty dull title.
That's when I woke up, but it got me thinking, instead of wasting money and time working on a sequel or a remake, why not invest in a prequel?

Hey everyone.
I wanted to talk about a film called The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's a campy adventure film from the early 2000's. It's whimsical and so damn entertaining that you can't help but fall in love with the premise.
Something about it's tone felt like it knew exactly what it was, what it was going for and never stopped trying to have fun with it. You can really see it in the reactions that the characters give (seriously, look at how everyone approaches the scenes, some with genuine playfulness).
A favorite aspect that always gets me is how the main villain's 'henchwoman' won't stop commending Flynn for his 'skills' (that are all accidental successes). There's a hilarious scene when they've been captured and she's grinning like an idiot because she's met her 'hero' and Flynn is appropriately confused. She even fights for him at the end.
Hopefully this still falls under the 'movies' category, even if it was made-for-TV. It's over an hour and a half, so I consider it a legitimate film.
Do you have any thoughts on this film? Any favorite scenes or glaring flaws that I'm ignoring?
