Films:
In the movie business, the first weekend is a crucial gauge in determining whether a movie lives or dies. The soft $8 million opening for “The Nativity Story” wounded its chances of becoming a holiday hit and could dampen Hollywood’s enthusiasm for big-budget faith-based movies.

Films:
The Nativity Story is a movie that tells the account of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem in a way that is surprisingly close (for a mainstream Hollywood movie, anyway) to the brief accounts in the New Testament gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Films:
Jesus of Nazareth spent 40 days in the desert. By comparison, Superman of Hollywood languished almost 20 years in development hell. Those years apparently raised the bar fearsomely high. Last seen larking about on the big screen in the 1987 dud "Superman IV," the Man of Steel has been resurrected in a leaden new film not only to fight for truth, justice and the American way, but also to give Mel Gibson's passion a run for his box-office money. Where once the superhero flew up, up and away, he now flies down, down, down, sent from above to save mankind from its sins and what looked like another bummer summer.

AS the new year dawned, Jon Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven" - about a "divinely ordered" double murder in 1984 by two members of a breakaway Mormon sect - was fresh off the best-seller list. Warren Jeffs, the polygamist prophet of this splinter group, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was on F.B.I. wanted lists. And the world's first-ever "Mormonsploitation Retrospective" ("Passion! Polygamy! Pamphlets!") of vintage fear-mongering anti-Mormon movies had just finished at the fringy Pioneer Theater in the East Village in Manhattan.

Films:
The "Jesus People" movement that peaked in the early '70s, bringing Christianity to the counterculture and vice versa, has been largely forgotten. In the ensuing decades, American churches have increasingly been affiliated with social/political conservatism. That it wasn't always so is vividly illustrated by "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher," David Di Sabatino's straightforward, engrossing documentary about a well-buried chapter in recent evangelical history. Tale of Lonnie Frisbee's extraordinary (if brief) pulpit career is a fascinating one that could intrigue diverse niche auds -- Christian, gay, '60s nostalgics -- if carefully marketed in limited release.
