Star Wars meets The Ten Commandments

Could you imagine a movie that combines "Star Wars" with "The Ten Commandments"? Pastor Richard Gazowsky of the Voice of Pentecost church in San Francisco said that God spoke to him, "commanding him to make a million-dollar science fiction blockbuster," according to The Maneater. The film that he's working on as a result is a futuristic retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, tentatively titled "Gravity: The Shadow of Joseph".

A documentary, "Audience of One," has been made about the filming of this blockbuster. While the documentary was made, only two shots of Gazowsky's movie were actually filmed. A biblical sci-fi epic. . .sounds interesting.

Fallen angel

I just recently watched this year's Transformers movie for the first time. I loved it! It's an exciting sci-fi adventure story with some excellent humor.

It's also a fallen angel story -- Megatron was once on the good side, but he defected to the side of the evil Decepticons. Therefore, Optimus Prime and the Autobots have to defeat them.

"Fallen angel" stories are very exciting; the whole Star Wars series was based on Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader turning to the dark side.

While it's fun to watch these movies, we are living in a real "fallen angel" universe. The devil is out there. When we're just coasting along in life, we might not notice the devil's presence. But try getting closer to God -- the devil will make his presence known. We are in the middle of a spiritual battle, but we can fight Satan with Jesus Christ on our side.
