Movie of the Day – Holy Rollers: The True Story of Card Counting Christians

I decided to back into the vault of Documentary films that I have talked about since starting this blog, more so in preparation for yet another year of True False Fest, which I can’t wait to attend again next month.  Holy Rollers was actually a documentary I saw at our local KC film festival and surprisingly one of my favorite movies that showed during that fest, next to Take Shelter and Like Crazy.  Holy Rollers combines two of my favorite things, moral code bending Christians with loose interpretations of the Bible and how they justify what they are doing and morally bankrupt gambling.  Sweet!

Movie of the Day – Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

The Son of God never seemed cooler until he started hunting vampires.  I am pretty certain that my time in catholic school didn’t cover any of Jesus’ vampire hunting adolescence.  I guess they just wanted to from his birth to his crucifixion in one school year, I would have probably done a lot better in religion class if they taught this.  All I have to say to this is let the power of Christ IMPALE YOU!

Movie of the Day – What Would Jesus Buy?

I guess this is about as topical a film selection can be for a day like today.  It’s Black Friday and like most people, I am watching the news in hopes that there will be some piece on the chaos of stampedes and fights that break out at local stores.  Sure it is a bit of mean thing to think would happen, but it’s bound to happen.  Anyways, I personally do my shopping online so that saves me some trouble and conserves my fighting energy for more important things.  So gather around the table or the new flat screen television you got on sale during Black Friday and see what it is that Jesus would buy.
