Jesus Camp directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady was nominated this morning for an Academy Award in the category of Best Documentary Feature. However, I’d hardly categorize it as a Kosher Christian film.
PluggedIn Online (A Web Site of Focus on the Family) has a succinct review of the controversial film. Personally, I question [...]

A delegation of directors, producers, and screenwriters from Hollywood are due to visit Israel this week in order to encourage the American movie industry to film in Israel.
The more cameras the better in the Holy Land to document the dreadful finale:
“Behold, He [...]
Can any good thing come out of Texas?
I ventured to The King’s College located in the Empire State Building, to see. The Artisans Guild was presenting a pre-screening of “Genius Club” on a rain-soaked Shabbat evening. I was accompanied by fellow Paytan, Jared to my third Artisans Guild event. The last time we visited the [...]
Grace and Shalom,
For Academy Award consideration:
One Night With The King
An epic motion picture set in an imaginative world of adventure, intrigue and romance, One Night With the King follows a young girl who rises from peasant to princess by going against the culture and seeking the King’s heart rather than the riches [...]
Ushpizin
Enjoyed Ushpizin (Hebrew for “guests”) immensely. Brought back memories of Israel 2004, welcomed from sukkah to sukkah like an American Ushpizin. The actor who played Moses (Moshe) has such a poignant face. His prayer conversations with Abba Father showed such sincerity. I could feel the angst in his contorted wrinkles, crying out for rachamim [...]
Fateless (2005)
Trailer
On the eve of my dad leaving for the Philippines indefinately, we sat silently on the front porch, staring out into twilight. The gloomy color of the sky, and our shaven heads, harkened to the pique of the concentration camps depicted in Fateless, as if two strokes weren't enough reminders along mocking wires. Dad's [...]
WallWatched the documentary last night and found its deliberate pace unnerving. There are tracking sequences, where all you see is the wall…
WALL (Mur) is a cinematic meditation on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which the filmmaker blurs the lines of hatred by asserting her double identity as Jew and Arab. In an original documentary approach, the [...]
I'm a huge tennis aficianado. I rooted for Jennifer Capriati during her comeback from drug abuse. So when I rented Match Point by Woody Allen, I didn't expect the stark tone of the film. The pace reminded me of Gus Van Sant's Elephant. Woody doesn't make his usual signature cameo in this one. To catch [...]

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)
Daniel Johnston is a manic-depressive genius singer/songwriter/artist, revealed in this portrait of madness, creativity and love.The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a stunning portrait of a musical and artistic genius who nearly slipped away.
Director Jeff Feuerzeig exquisitely depicts a perfect example of brilliance and madness going hand in hand with [...]
