The List: Movie Watch

The editor of ChristianityTodayMovies.com lists his favorite movie blogs and websites.


Mark Moring

Entertainment Weekly
Informative, investigative, and intelligently written, EW is the standard bearer of entertainment magazines. If you want all of the inside scoop, go to Variety, but if you just want most of it, presented in a fun way without being gossipy or "fanboy," EW has the write stuff - especially now with the sharp-witted Diablo Cody, Oscar winner for Juno's script, as a back-page columnist.

MovieWeb, ComingSoon
Want to know what's coming down the pike - not just in the next few months, but even a couple years from now? I rely on these two sites to keep me informed on upcoming releases - when they're due, who's directing, who's starring, what's the latest news on each, images, trailers, and so on.

IMDb
The Internet Movie Database has just about everything you could possibly want to know about any movie ever made. Want to know if 1961's The Guns of Navarone won any Oscars? (It did: Best Special Effects.) Or who played Juror No. 11 in 1957's 12 Angry Men? (It was George Voskovec.) It's all here.

Looking Closer
Jeffrey Overstreet was the first critic on the CT Movies team when we launched in 2004 (he'd been writing Film Forum for CT for a while), and I've always appreciated his insights into the movies. I've learned more about how to watch a movie from Jeffrey than from anyone. His Looking Closer blog keeps me abreast of what's happening in film, music, and more, and his thoughtful commentary goes the extra mile.

FilmChat
If I only went to one website a day to find out what I had to know that would be relevant to CT readers, Peter T. Chattaway's FilmChat blog would be that one-stop shop. It's comprehensive, but especially zeroes in on films, themes, and news relevant to a Christian audience. Bookmark it.

Christianity is really great. A bad christian movie would be 80% of the world evil or lost 15% modern snob lost christians. And God the father having to tell again that man should not live by world standards. And God raised Jesus Christ told him that he was Jesus at age 31. With no money in his pocket and no christian businesses to work Satan telling girls that other people are right for them to date in Jesuss presence. The USA government turns crooked. Abortionist and most non christian. Jesus got calvary at the age of around 7 years old and then later got calvary. Now waiting on Gods orders. With zero vehicle and no church to preach at. A major problem is rapture day christians. A lot like God but do not want to give up 100,000 dollar home. No one is helping with small step of building church and business. Jesus has abuse persons following him. This is a true story. Please be ready to help. Thank you. Pslams99:9 -hill pray! Gal 3:2! Go sexual sanctified christians! Rev 12:9 - they torment and fool us.

Wish landon Jr. would produce more films. Christianity Today you just censored my comment. No cursing was in it. You allow Jehvoh witnesses to type commets. You have zero proof that the story is not true. Plus Jesus Christ parents in their lives turned evil and it is hard because they are murdered every other year but God keeps us alive. Do the roman centurions(no mercy on) indiana area control you? The greeks? Based in Revelations.
If my Dad ,father God is involved with this It will be sin because rapture day christians(holiness demanded) is going to be involved a type of judgement(a house will not stand divided). You are not going to party it up then run to Jesus because he just cool then accidently party sinnerly. Jesus is broke poor and his family abused by crazed individuals and roman indiana area centurions(zero mercey on). His family(kids) is scared to seek him. Jesus has already been killed several times. Satan is hugely smart and has angel helpers. based on Rev12:9!!!!! Satan angels have telpathic powers. Trances,demons and spells destroy lives. In hell there is low oxygen. God is giver of eternity- food, trustworthy friends.Pslams 99:9-hill pray. Thank you for your time.
