by Thomas McKenzie on March 15, 2013 It’s March. Studios are only releasing crappy movies (witness Die Hard 5). If you go to the theater, you have your choice of a) Oscar Winners or b) garbage.

This is the one minute biography of Father Thomas McKenzie. He's the inimitable host of the One Minute Review and the pastor of Church of the Redeemer in Nashville, Tennessee. Also, he has samurai swords. We highly recommend this priest.

A friend of mine was bothered by what she felt was a good deal of evil. She couldn’t quite describe it, but she is a lover of the original, so it’s not the fact it was witches, et al. Would you say the soullessness you’re describing goes along with that? Or just that there was no depth?

“Soulless” was perfect way of putting it.
death by CGI overkill. Even James, who i like a lot, wasn’t that good. The green witch make-up, trying to make her somewhat pretty and somewhat fearsome, accomplished neither. Bad movie.
