  My personal movie review: Darren Aronofsky's NOAH

  noah, my movie review.

  you may have already judged this film and you've never seen it!

  like many of its critics, you think you know what you're going to see and .

  Thanks for the review Terry.

  Although I respect your intellect, I whole heartedly disagree with your take on this one.

  As a non fundamentalist, I think the story in the bible is pretty incredible, and could have been told as is, or close. Some liberties with the story, fine, some brutality, gore, some blue filters on the lense, but come on...why not just call him "Bill", and write your own story.

  Other than that, the movie was poorly cast. (I like Jennifer Connelly, but wrong. Love Anthony Hopkins, but what a waste of talent).

  CGI was horrible.

  I still advise to not waste your time on this one. Wait till it comes out on DVD if you just can't resist.

  Mud slide in WA state - sister at Assembly

  look for it in the yearbook next year.

  there was an assembly the day of the big mudslide in washington last saturday.

  a sister's life was saved because she obediently attended the assembly and thus was not home when a huge mudslide hit her neighborhood and buried and killed lots of people.

  JWorg today:

  A mile-wide mudslide buried homes in Snohomish County, Washington, USA on March 22, 2014. Local officials state that up to 90 people are still missing and 17 people have been confirmed dead. The United States branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses reports that one female Witness is among the missing. One Witness couple lost both their daughter and great-granddaughter in the mudslide. Two Witnesses had to evacuate their homes; the home of another Witness was completely destroyed. Local Witness elders are providing comfort and support to those affected by the disaster.

  Horrible movie. Do NOT waste your time. I'm not kidding, it was the worst movie I've seen in I don't know how long. I understand and expected liberites to be taken, but this twisted what could have been a decent epic into I don't know what. CGI?? LOL.

  I always felt they should provide housing for those older ones that have "volunteered" for decades, and now have nothing.
