...antidramatic tone that the melodramatic music tries to vivify. The Passion scenes (about 40 mins. of the 2hr.40min. film) lack wallop, especially in comparison to the hammer-on-nail-through-flesh-into wood impact of the Gibson film. The raising of Jesus' cross, a big moment in any Gospel film, is shown from above - a God- or pigeon's-eye view of the crucifixion. Count on the pictorials to keep you awake; watching the movie is like having someone thumb, slooooowly, through a book of religious art history. The film's last shot, after Pentecost, shows the fishermen leaving their...
...Even if the Hollywood hierachy is vexed or embarrassed by the Gospel according to Gibson-you may expect a few barbs thrown his way by Billy Crystal this Sunday at the Academy Awards- it is unlikely to shun him. This is, after all, a business that hires actors and directors who happen to be drug addicts, spouse-abusers and convicted felons. One man convicted of child molestation has directed films for Disney and New Line.

...week before Christmas break, Eve Ensler swept through campus, darting from packed lecture halls to intimate lunch discussions to recruit “Vagina Warriors” for her revolution. Ensler, whose exuberance magnifies her small frame, has become a celebrity, a preacher of the Vagina Gospel, a crusader against violence and a spokesperson for sisterhood, peace and outrageousness...
...popularity of novels like Brown’s—in which a Harvard professor discovers a ancient conspiracy involving the Catholic Church—King’s somewhat unique work has gained increased attention. Two of her recent books on religious figures have been particularly controversial. The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle “portrays Mary Magdalene as an important apostle after the resurrection,” King explains. Her other book, What is Gnosticism?, targets a more academic audience...
