Passing Strange (2009) Directed By Spike Lee

Category: Misc
Description:
Passing Strange (2009) Directed By Spike Lee A young black musician travels on a picaresque journey to rebel against his mother and his upbringing in a church-going, middle-class, late 1970s South Central Los Angeles neighborhood in order to find "the real". He finds new experiences in promiscuous Amsterdam, with its easy access to drugs and sex, and in artistic, chaotic, political Berlin, where he struggles with ethics and integrity when he misrepresents his background as poor to get ahead. Along with his "passing" from place to place and from lover to lover, the young musician moves through a number of musical styles from a background of gospel to punk, and then blues, jazz, and rock. He then finally returns home. Passing Strange is a musical with lyrics and book by Stew and music and orchestrations by Stew and Heidi Rodewald. The musical was developed at the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab in 2004 and 2005, one of the only works ever to be invited back for a second round of development.[1] It had productions in Berkeley, California and off-Broadway before opening on Broadway in 2008. The title passing strange come from Shakespeare's 1603 play Othello, the Moor of Venice. In the play, the character, Othello, utters the following lines: My story being done, She gave me for my pains a world of sighs; She swore, in faith 'twas strange, 'twas passing strange ; 'Twas pitiful. 'twas wondrous pitiful, She wish'd she had not heard it, yet she wish'd That heaven had made her such a man. —Othello, the Moor of Venice, act 1, scene 3, lines 158–163

Description:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0953404/ Description from Wikipedia: Friends of God: A Road Trip With Alexandra Pelosi is an HBO television documentary about evangelicals in the United States that is written, directed, produced, and narrated by Alexandra Pelosi, (daughter of current U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi).

In this documentary, Alexandra Pelosi visits several of the largest evangelical Christian church congregations ("megachurches") in the country, such as Lakewood Church and New Life Church (Colorado Springs, Colorado), and interviews their leaders and members. Pelosi also visits other Christian organizations like the Christian Wrestling Federation and Cruisers for Christ (a car club) as well as others committed to spreading the Gospel through their own unique packaging and marketing. The documentary centers around the relationship between Christian evangelical churches and political activism. It attempts to demonstrate how these organizations have shaped modern politics in regards to issues that include, but are not limited to, gay rights, abortion, and the creation-evolution controversy.

The God Who Wasn't There (2005)

Category: Documentary
Description:
Bowling for Columbine did it to the gun culture. Super Size Me did it to fast food. Now The God Who Wasn't There does it to religion. utmx_section("Body") The movie that has been astounding audiences in theaters around the world is now available on a high-quality, feature-packed DVD. Own the taboo-shattering documentary that Newsweek says "irreverently lays out the case that Jesus Christ never existed." In this critically acclaimed film, you will discover: The early founders of Christianity seem wholly unaware of the idea of a human Jesus The Jesus of the Gospels bears a striking resemblance to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults Contemporary Christians are largely ignorant of the origins of their religion Fundamentalism is as strong today as it ever has been, with an alarming 44% of Americans believing that Jesus will return to earth in their lifetimes From exposing the hidden history of Christianity to lampooning the bloody excesses of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (which caused Gibson to attempt legal action against the documentary), The God Who Wasn't There pulls no punches. Directed by award-winning filmmaker (and former Christian) Brian Flemming, The God Who Wasn't There includes stimulating interviews with: Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation Robert M. Price, Jesus Seminar fellow and author of The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man Alan Dundes, Professor of Folklore at the University of California at Berkeley Richard Carrier, historian and author of Sense and Goodness Without God Barbara & David P. Mikkelson, authors of the Urban Legends Reference Pages at snopes.com And many others Dazzling motion graphics and a driving soundtrack propel this uncompromising film that the Los Angeles Times calls "provocative - to put it mildly."

What Would Jesus Buy?

Category: Documentary
Description:
What would Jesus Buy. A GREAT film for everyone, not just the Christian folks. This film touches on many subjects, so don't let the title scare you away. Widescreen Some bonus features English 2-channel audio NO subs This is a 'newsgroup special' so don't whine if its not got all the bells and whistles you wish it had. Go buy it instead. Also, someone went to the trouble of putting up the Divx version so if this one is too slow try it instead of complaining about what I can't control (ISP speeds) If you like it, you should buy it anyways. I seed with full PG and Bluetack blocklists, and forced encryption, 1mb upload speed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0939681/ What Would Jesus Buy? follows Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir as they go on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of mankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt! From producer Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) and director Rob VanAlkemade comes a serious docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas. Bill Talen (aka Reverend Billy) was a lost idealist who hitchhiked to New York City only to find that Times Square was becoming a mall. Spurred on by the loss of his neighborhood and inspired by the sidewalk preachers around him, Bill bought a collar to match his white caterer's jacket, bleached his hair and became the Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping. Since 1999, Reverend Billy has gone from being a lone preacher with a portable pulpit preaching on subways, to the leader of a congregation and a movement whose numbers are well into the thousands. Through retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and some good old-fashioned preaching, Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas. What Would Jesus Buy? is a journey into the heart of America – from exorcising the demons at the Wal-Mart headquarters to taking over the center stage at the Mall of America and then ultimately heading to the Promised
