Knowing

March 2009 is a terrible place for the world in cinema. Of the four major films that come out each week, the earth is threaten in some way by aliens, nuclear annihilation, or some type of natural disaster. The ‘Next’ film, where Nick Cage gets glimpses into the future, is worth ‘Knowing’ about.

It is suspenseful, creepy, and thought provoking all at the same time. Not too many laughs, as terrible events are unfolding all around Nick Cage and there is nothing he can do about it. Is life just random or is their some purpose to it all? These are the struggles we all grapple with at sometime or another and so does Nick’s character. The same type of subtle Christian undertones and symbolism are present either implicitly or licitly.

If I laid out the actual Christian symbolism and Catechetical lessons I would spoil the film for you dear readers. Also there is a prophecy that says if I actually reveal more of the film then I have all ready, great disaster will befall…… someone.

Editor’s Note: Our apologies at StoryBlazers for this unenthusiastic and uninformative film review. This is not a habit we StoryBlazers wish to engage in, but it does happen. A lazy bug bites us at times and slows the brain. You have a right to know about Knowing and at some point a more lengthy review will replace this tidbit of not much Know how about Knowing. Also sorry about so many puns. You must take the opportunity when it presents itself.
