‘Religulous’ is informative yet hilarious
13 November 2008: Bill Maher’s documentary “Religulous” is an overview of the current problems in world religions. Maher interviews many representatives of different religions throughout the film while exercising his snide sense of humor freely, making “Religulous” very entertaining.

Maher would get his point across better if “Religulous” were more focused. Maher does not focus on any one thing at length. The film jumps all over the place; this is distracting and prevents Maher from getting his point across as effectively as possible.

Film exposes religion’s ‘ridiculous nature’
13 November 2008: I recently saw Bill Maher’s movie, Religulous, and was impressed to finally discover a movie that depicts the way I feel about religion.

I attended on opening night and was pleasantly surprised to see how full the theatre was and how responsive the audience turned out to be.

At the end of the showing the audience applauded, something we don’t often see after any movie.

REEL CRITIC: Film will offend, but it’s funny
12 November 2008: Atheists and agnostics, your prayers are answered with the release of “Religulous,” a comedy disguised as a documentary and hosted by your spiritual leader, Bill Maher.

This low-budget new release is offensive, insightful and controversial. It’s also the funniest movie I’ve ever seen on the polarizing subject of religion.

Larry Charles, the director of “Borat,” is back with a vengeance, and this time the high priest of comedy is making fun of Christians, Jews, Muslims and anybody else stupid enough to be interviewed by his guerrilla filmmaking crew as they go on a comedy pilgrimage across the globe visiting holy sites and sacred areas.

Can Maher convince his entertainment congregation that religion is a myth, and that the whole world has gone crazy? What happens when a Jewish cameraman gets discovered at an Islamic shrine? Should you add to Maher’s collection plate or save your charity for something a little less divisive and mainstream? I’m no preacher, but from my bully pulpit, I highly recommend making a donation to your local theater to get the answers to these questions.

Eastburg’s indie-movie theater debuts cash-poor but optimistic
12 November 2008: The Pocono Community Theater — formerly the Pocono Cinema and Grand Cinema — opens tonight showing three art house movies and preparing to host a slew of community activities.

The now nonprofit theater plans not only movies, but an art gallery, a refurbished concession stand and more community involvement.

But already, the theater could be in trouble. When board members announced plans in August to reopen the theater after the Pocono Cinema closed there in April, they said they hoped to raise $100,000. That figure would allow them to open the theater and operate in the black for the first few months.

‘Religulous’ deserved a showing in Visalia
5 November 2008: In the interest of fairness and exposing ourselves to both sides of the argument, I have to admit I was surprised to see no theater in Visalia showing Bill Maher’s “Religulous” movie. However controversial the subject matter may be to some, the fact is that the local theaters were more than willing to show Ben Stein’s movie, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.”

It’s disappointing that one view was allowed so much exposure in Visalia while its counterpoint was not even allowed to show.

I realize that most of the people in our town are Christians and that any view that opposes these beliefs is not welcome. I also know that when people don’t expose themselves to different viewpoints they become complacent and uninformed.

Movie Reviews

This is one movie I am sure not everyone will like. I don’t think Maher, through his this work, is trying to play unfair. He is just telling us to question our beliefs and see how factual or sham they are. He is just trying to tell us to question the rituals that we are following through centuries to see if they are relevant in today’s world. And I don’t think that questioning is wrong. Though, the movie takes on all these serious questions but is very funny too. Maher’s sense of humor plays through out the movie and entertains its viewers. I would recommend this movie to all, especially if you want to see religion from a different perspective. read more…

Religulous Movie Review

Religulous Movie Review

1. This is one movie I am sure not everyone will like. I don’t think Maher, through his this work, is trying to play unfair. He is just telling us to question our beliefs and see how factual or sham they are. He is just trying to tell us to question the rituals that we are following through centuries to see if they are relevant in today’s world. And I don’t think that questioning is wrong. Though, the movie takes on all these serious questions but is very funny too. Maher’s sense of humor plays through out the movie and entertains its viewers. I would recommend this movie to all, especially if you want to see religion from a different perspective.
2. This movie is for all those people who would like to have a different perspective towards religion. Bill Maher through this is simply trying to tell people to apply their minds when it comes to religion and not follow religion and its beliefs simply because you have been doing so from centuries. He is questioning whether century old rituals are prevalent in today’s world.
3. Though the movie deals with serious issues like religion, but it is really funny too. The movie will really make you laugh out loud when you realize how absurd the tenets of all major religions are.
4. This is one meaningful movie in a long time. The subject that Maher has dealt with has some basis to it. Maher has dealt with the movie in a very intelligent and sophisticated manner. The movie really has some very valid points. I would like to add that very religious people also would have felt at some point in the movie that they are being irrational.
