Left Behind (2014)
What can we say that hasn’t been already said about this proselytizing pablum of propaganda — of what is now, four films, three of which starred self-righteous douchebaggin’ bible-banger Kirk Cameron (Saving Christmas*) — except that it is awful. And that believers, aka the fans of the film, will say that we who bash the […]
Mother Joan of the Angels (1961)
A priest is sent to a small parish in the Polish countryside which is believed to be under demonic possession and there he finds his own temptations awaiting. — An IMDb slugline that doesn’t do this film justice When Martin Scorsese selects a film for his Masterpieces of Polish Cinema series — one that won […]
The Blood of Jesus (1941)
Before drive-in exploitation filmmaker Ron Ormond found faith and made a series of films with Southern Baptist pastor Estus Pirkle (The Burning Hell), there was this early “Christploitation” classic, a low-budget concern with an all-Black cast (and crew) regarding a newly baptized, Baptist-believing woman accidentally shot by her atheist husband. Upon her death, she’s greeted […]
Mary’s Incredible Dream, aka The Mary Tyler Moore Spectacular (1976)
My memories of Ben Vereen decked-out in a green sequence suit and Bowler hat like an LSD-induced Frank Gorshin from Batman . . . was, in fact, real. And my obsession for this MTM project, is real. There’s nothing quite like watching an actor or musician reaching the top of their profession to relish the […]
SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE: The Advent Calendar (2021)
So when you hear, “This is a movie about a haunted advent calendar,” well you’d probably think that it’s pretty silly. But Patrick Ridremont’s Le calendrier is way better than I expected. Eva (Eugénie Derouand) once danced, but since her wheelchair accident, she’s fallen into a pit of despair. After the gift of a wooden antique […]
Amityville Poltergeist (2020)
Once, this movie was called No Sleep, then Don’t Sleep, then it became an Amityville movie because that’s what you do sometimes if you want your movie to get out there, I guess. Hey — director and co-writer Calvin Morie McCarthy is out there doing it, I guess. So anyways, as you can guess, this has nothing […]
The Judas Project (1993)
In the world of retail, “Christmas in July” is a promotional gimmick enticing mall shoppers to stock up on decorating supplies, as well as stocking up on discounted gifts. At B&S About Movies: we celebrate “Christmas in Summer” by spreadsheeting a six-months out “Christian Cinema Week” for the first week of December: we’re weird that […]
The Late Great Planet Earth (1978): Another Look
Editor’s Note: Sam Panico previously reviewed this Christian post-apocalyptic film as part of our January 2019 “Tabloid Week” chronicling sensationalistic documentaries. As we fill out our ever-expanding database of reviews with some of the “Christian Cinema” films from the ’70s we’ve missed, we brought this prophetic classic back for another look. To say Sam and […]
Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973): Another Look
Editor’s Note: Sam Panico previously reviewed this Christian-leaning extensional film as part of our February 2020 “Box Office Failures” theme week of reviews. As we fill out our ever-expanding database of reviews of “Christian Cinema” films from the ’70s that we’ve missed, we brought this film back for another look. Sam and I are split […]
