One of my favorites. Wonder how much truth into it.

Re: Machine Gun Preacher

It was on the verge of being heavy handed for me, kind of rolled my eyes after a while. As much as I like stories of redemption and fighting back against oppression in the face of "turn the other cheek" folks (ie Robert Deniro in "The Mission"), this one didn't work for me.

I want to see it yet. I remember hearing about the guy years ago and how he stood and fought against evil.

Perfectly demonstrates multiple fallacies of sola scriptura, but entertaining.

Sort of interesting except for the terrible acting job by Gerald Butler.

I liked the show, if anyone was all worried about it being preached at or something well show how bright you are by not watching it due to the obvious (Machine Gun Preacher) Now onto the film. It was not bad and there is lots of truth to it but much was added. I liked how the film at least is bringing some light to the issues they face over there. Koney should have a meeting with a drone.

It had some good parts and then some SLLOOOWWWW parts. All in all I think that guy lost his mind.

Re: Machine Gun Preacher

Watched it last night and for some reason, I liked it. The story is very slow and the dialogue is terrible. At some point about 2/3s of the way through, it does become "good". However, I would have a hard time recommending it.

Even a bad beard didn't make Bulter look scuzzie enough. His wife was way too hot to be the white trash they were trying to make her out to be.

I did like the $150 donation. It is very classic.
