Publisher's Synopsis
From the summer of 2005 through the spring of 2006, ticket sales rebounded from the near- disaster of the previous twelve months. Leading the charge were fantasy films and comic book franchises, with Superman, Batman, Harry Potter, Aslan the Lion, and Captain Jack Sparrow captivating wide audiences. King Kong even scaled more than the Empire State Building, grabbing a couple handfuls of year-end honors. But that wasn't all. Spirituality made new inroads with films about missionaries, ministers, and Madea. This year's collection of reviews covers 100 top films, every one of them reviewed from HollywoodJesus.com's spiritual perspective. The ideas that move the world infuse the cinema, and audiences are still paying attention. Into the darkness of the theatre comes a great light. God is behind the screen, and Jesus is in the seats. Take a close look the next time you're there. The 2005-2006 collection features the writing of twenty-eight of the Hollywood Jesus reviewers: Kathy Bledsoe, Maurice Broaddus, Michael Brunk, Peter Cruikshank, Jim Davis, Brian Dedmon, Mike Furches, James Harleman, Matthew Hill, Matt Kinne, Melinda Ledman, Elisabeth Leitch, Darrel Manson, Kevin Miller, Marcus Pittman, Tom Price, Ken Priebe, Michael Ray, Scott Roche, Jacob Sahms, Mike Smith, Johann Snyder, Tim Spanburg, Mark Ezra Stokes, Ed Travis, Chris Utley, Greg Wright, and Jenn Wright. Reviews are grouped by categories of popularity, and arranged alphabetically within those categories. Fans of a particular reviewer can find a short bio and list of reviews in the Index of Reviewers.
