New I did, in fact.
I thought it was powerful, moving, and extremely well done. There were parts of it that were odd (not sure about the whole devil-baby thing) but on the whole it was a remarkable film.

I wrote a review of it on my own blog ([link|http://www.baptistdeathray.com/archives/000006.html|http://www.baptistde...hives/000006.html]) for anyone who is interested... but if not, I'll just say again that I found it a wholly remarkable film.

New good review
I have no intention of watching the thing, I know the story and seeing it portrayed "accurately" is just a tad boring, one torture scene lasting 15 minutes to set up a story line is okay, anything over that is overkill. Ive always enjoyed the life of Brian myself.

I have been curious about the reaction of those whose faith surrounds the acts depicted in the movie, thanks for sharing.
thanx,
bill
