Films @ AAR: a review series
At the 2006 AAR/SBL Annual Meeting, a number of films were shown and discussed as an effort to engender dialogue regarding art and social issues. I was unable to attend any of the film viewings, so instead I will watch and post reviews of these films over the next few months. The following is the list of films I will review:
Dawn of the Dead
Crash
Guelwaar
Gattaca
Toward a New Christianity: Stories of African Christians in Ghana and Zimbabwe
Mooladé
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

It was attended by over 600 people.
BTW, I agree that the church should denounce Saddam's execution. I am against all capital punishment, but this trial was also a show trial. I argued against the execution of Timothy McVeigh, whose trial was among the fairest.
Refusing to kill even the worst people shows the value of human life that is near to the heart of the gospel.
