Interpretation, a shining example

A few of us have recently been having a discussion about interpreting the Old Testament. Interpretation is always a difficult task, whether we are dealing with ancient texts or contemporary cinema we always run the risk of missing the point. This problem is brilliantly illustrated by a slightly different take on the film 'The Shining' (thanks to Si for the link). You can view the trailer here.

Wouldn't you just love to have a foster father like Jack?

I managed to find another couple of great ones. One is really good, the other not quite as much. Have you seen Titanic? Well you probably wont have seen it quite like this!!! But be warned it's properly scary.

The other is West Side Story, the classic musical set in New York. I bet you didn't realise it was a sort of zombie thriller really did you?? Check it out!
