Spiderman 3

You're probably thinking "What?!" Why is this even remotely relevant to my PCT program?

Well here goes:

1. Spiderman 3

Tree is now going to be working full time for Crusaders which means that we unfortunately will be losing our Monday days off together. (I'm now going to try to take Sat as my day off)

It'd be great if you could pray for us as we make this transition and still find time to grow in our marriage.

That meant that last Monday was our last day off together.

So after salivating at all the yummy food at DJ's foodhall, we then went and pigged out at the Marriott Buffet for lunch (thanks dad for the discount card!)
Then, after nearly being forced to be rolled out the door we made our way over to Randwick Ritz for Spiderman 3 (go the Entertainment Book BOGOF voucher!)



The movie was long (with so many storylines running, i guess it kinda had to be), but thankfully they all came to an intersection with the ending. Overall, better than Spiderman 2 (though that wasn't hard to beat).

It was interesting though the subtle messages that were being communicated from the movie. The posters and advertising S3 has all been geared towards the tagline of 'The Greatest Battle lies within'

Without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, i thought whilst this is true from a Christian perspective (ie. our own sinfulness), the message S3 ends up conveying is quite the contrary.

Overcoming our sinfulness is not something that we have a choice in. The beauty of the gospel is that its been done for us. That which is impossible for man, is possible with God - restored relationship with our creator.

However, there is a pretty good treatment of gospel matters (unlike a majority of Hollywood moviews). Namely, the idea of marriage (the question to Peter Parker about whether he's willing to sacrifice everything for his future wife was surprising) as well as the all consuming nature of evil.

Worth watching - 3.5 out of 5 for me. For a more 'expert' review, click here
