Shadow of the Real World

A few musings from Kansas by a high school literature teacher. Over the past few months, this blog has turned a commentary on media. I will probably continue to focus on film and television, but books and music might sneak in... By the way - If you would like me to post on a regular basis - please comment, even if it's just to say, "Hi." If my audience disappears, I lose the motivation to write! Thanks!

Blockbuster in May

Well - Sony is going to be basically printing money with this one:
The Da Vinci Code - I'm not sure I need to say anything. The book was a bestseller in a way that I don't think we've seen in a long, long time. I'm so sick of seeing in on the New York Times list. Now - that said, I did enjoy it. Of course, the history is complete crap. But, people -- it's a fiction book!! For the life of me, I cannot figure out why anyone ever took this seriously. I have thoughtful, well educated friends who actually asked me if this book effected my faith. It's fiction! That means -- wait for it -- it's completely made up!! Fabricated! Untrue! A load of bologna! (But a fast paced, enjoyable load of bologna...)

I also had several serious conversations on the nature of faith, the Bible, Jesus and history because I read this book. I'm glad I read it...

Poseidon - a remake of The Poseidon Adventure. I'm a sucker for disaster movies, so this should be good.
