That's the reason I'm a Jesus freak, more likely than not (as my parents weren't religious). I had all the lyrics memorized and even today I could begin at "My mind is clearer now" and sing all the way to the end of the title song. <br /><br />When I watched the film, it was all wrong, as of course it would be. In listening to the original broadway recording, I already had a film running in my head, and the "official" film was just awful, in my opinion. Now, I recognize that I cannot be objective about the film, and never can be. So while I think JCS is a fantastic album, I must remain mute about the film.Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-7942512898428340612011-12-08T23:10:37.789-08:002011-12-08T23:10:37.789-08:00That's good.

It's in my shelf.

Life of Brian gets a 4/5 for the film. And me rating Brian as Jesus isn't fair anyway because he's not Jesus, nor is he supposed to be. But I thought it would be fun to throw him in.Steve Kimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187112520269562190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318433114559203724.post-49550394939325202112011-12-07T21:00:50.558-08:002011-12-07T21:00:50.558-08:00Are these ratings evaluating Jesus or the film?

Because Life of Brian is a great film.<br /><br />Anyway, I liked Jesus of Montreal (from one of my favorite directors Denys Arcand) and reckon I owe it a revisit now that I'm a bit older.<br /><br />Where's Jesus Christ Superstar fit into all this?Bondohttp://moviereviewwarehouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
