movie reviews from a spiritual perspective |
X-Men First Class (July 1, 2011), Carol Wong
I was very impressed with this X-Men movie. I found the acting to be very credible - James McAvoy does an outstanding job as a young Charles Xavier. Michael Fassbender captures the rage and angst of the young Erik, before he becomes "Magneto." If you are a fan of the other X-men movies, or even if you are not, this is still a worthwhile movie to watch to further one's understanding of how one's choices affect one's destiny early on

movie reviews from a spiritual perspective |
Carol Wong, March 12, 2013
First and foremost, this movie is very powerful visually. I was drawn into the story because of the obvious connection to the original "Wizard of Oz" movie that we have all come to know and love. The initial black and white cinematography is very effectively done and I felt immediately taken back to the time of Dorothy and the dry dustbowl of Kansas.
We meet the original "Oz" - Oscar Diggs, who disappointingly is only a magician and con-artist. Diggs barely gets through his show when a little girl in a wheelchair asks him to help her walk again. Of course, we know the truth about Diggs’ deception and he is found out to be a "womanizer" as well. Diggs is swept off into a tornado in a hot-air balloon, and thereby begins his adventure, and ours in the land of Oz.
John 10:2-5, 14-15, says, “my sheep hear my voice.” If hearing God is so important then why are we afraid to hear God? Are we afraid to be labeled crazy? Are we afraid that God will tell us to do something that we don’t want to do?
