E.T.'s Lenten Film Review

Hey - For the 40-Days of Lent I’ll be reviewing motion pictures and posting reviews online. I’ll be making critical reviews (based on directions, editing, scoring, etc.) and be looking at the film through the “lens” of Scripture. For each movie I’ll determine a “Reel Revelation”; a Biblical concept we can see in action that can encourage us to live out more faithfully the life Christ has given. Come on by! The address is: http://etsreview.blogspot.com/ - E.T.
