Dec 19, 2016 · This movie is about the Janissaries, who were an elite corps of slaves made up of conscripted young Christian boys, and became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order withing the Ottoman empire. The scenes include naked rape scenes and brutal torture and executing of the Christians. It is very much like making a movie about an older version of ISIS and what they do ...

Oct 29, 2017 · Oct 29, 2017. #5. There was info on this back in 2014 -- that she was working on this film. Incidentally, when looking this up, Fr. Matt, a post of yours on this film (via the title of it) came up in an old FB post from 2014. lol Anyway, I haven't heard if the movie is done or not. Abel Gkiouzelis.
Apr 26, 2022 · While there are shortcomings in the movie I personally am glad that it was made. Maybe someone who is not a Christian may be led to Christ because of it. I was working for Dept of Defense in Korea when the movie was distributed and I first saw the movie in a Korean theater. The Korean subtitles were on the right side. Not very helpful although ...
Aug 17, 2023 · Orthodox worship music comes in different varieties depending on where you are. Sometimes the entire congregation sing psalms together as a form of worship, but sometimes it is a choir that sings in tones. But it is not like a protestant choir singing hymns. And it certainly isn't an individual singing.
Jul 8, 2016 · Jul 8, 2016. #2. Anything that severely distracts from one's prayer life should be avoided or kept in moderation. I'm personally not one to call something demonic simply because it entertains. But, like every other thing, it should be taken in moderation should one wish to partake. As for Harry Potter, I'm surprised to hear Orthodox call it ...
Feb 29, 2004 · Married. Jul 19, 2020. #5. Frank Peretti’s ‘This Present Darkness’ is a truly excellent story ideal for Hollywood adaption. However, if Steven Spielberg did buy the rights (I also heard he did around 30 years ago) it may never see the light of day as a Christian interpretation as Spielberg is Jewish and whilst he has the rights (if ...
Mar 3, 2019 · A streaming service of Orthodox programming is an interesting idea, but I like the idea of it being a TV channel better because a non-Orthodox scrolling the channels would have a chance at coming across it. Perhaps, in addition to the catechesis programming, there could be friendly discussions/debates with people of other Christian traditions.
Jul 25, 2006 · Jul 25, 2006. #1. The Apocalypse, starring Richard Harris. This is well worth renting/buying. A faithful (even though fictionalized) drama based on John being imprisoned on Patmos, interwoven with his visions of the Book of Revelation. Harris is quite good, and this is definitely one of the better Christian movies I've seen, even if some of the ...
