Recently, a Morning Video Link went to a commentary by Halley Callahan concerning a problem in Christian movies, that too often the message is heavy-handed even to other Christians. In part this is because the movie was intended to be the Christian version or have a positive message but failed to make a good story first with the message as the theme of the piece. Good characters, good story, and good performances are rather important whether it’s a religious or secular story
I wouldn’t have even known The Guarding Of Eden had any Christian connections if it wasn’t a Christian news report that I heard about it from. While at least one creator is going to Regent University, a Christian college, and one of the animators worked on Veggie Tales any Christian themes are at least allegorical, like the Chronicles Of Narnia series. But it if the video is any indication they set out to make a good game first, and this one looks interesting even to the non-religious.

English: A stereotypical caricature of a villain (i.e. generic melodrama villain stock character, with handlebar moustache and black top-hat). (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
There are people who will probably say that a villain who misses an obvious flaw in their plan, doing something unnecessary that ruins their work, is a disappointment and makes them less of a villain. And that’s why I like it. I like dumb villains, even the smart ones who do dumb things. Cracked contributors Rohan Ramakrishnan and Aatif Zubair (thank you copy/paste) looks at 5 such movies—The Dark Knight Rises, Terminator 2, Tangled, Sleepy Hollow, and The Rock–where one minor, unnecessary flaw, ruined their entire plan.

While I had more important things to deal with last week (the postings were all done quick and early) the trailer for CBS’s upcoming Supergirl television series dropped. Actually, I heard two dropped but this is the only one CBS had up on their YouTube page so we’re going with this one. After seeing the darker outfit I was worried this meant they would emulate Man Of Steel there are times I’m glad to be wrong. But does the trailer suggest this is going to be any good?
