Oh hello. I am Christina. I'm 26. My favorite things are: writing love on my arms, watching movies, laughing, baking brownies, mac 'n' cheese, taking road trips, Disney, writing, playing Guitar Hero and DDR, milk and cookies, smiling, Audrey Hepburn movies, singing Beatles songs, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, playing board and card games, reading books, watching General Hospital, dancing, and, most importantly, spending time with my friends.

Quote of the Moment:
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” - Audrey Hepburn

Mood: i'm good.
Music: pretending.

blind faith.

What is it with post-apocalyptic films these days? They seem to be all the rage. First there was 2012, then The Road, now The Book of Eli, and somewhere along the way there was 9. Of course movies like this have been around for decades - The Postman, 12 Monkeys and Mad Max all come to mind. And let's not forget all those films about zombies, vampires and other creatures that take over civilization. Maybe people like watching movies about the end of the world because it's a way to see it but be thankful that we aren't living through it ... yet.

I loved The Book of Eli though because it put God back in the equation of post-apocalypse films. The film doesn't say outright what caused the world to be how it is, but it references Revelation enough that it's obvious. And then there's Eli, played by Denzel Washington - one of Hollywood's few self-confessed Christians - who's carrying the last copy of the Bible known to mankind. The movie clearly shows that the Bible, religion, faith can be used for good and evil. It is probably the best Christian film I've seen since ... It is probably the best Christian film I've seen.

There will be those who object to it because of the violence, but if that's what it takes to get people to see this film and receive its message, then so be it. It has such a strong, yet quiet message.

The film gives so much hope and shows what it truly means to walk out of faith. Blind faith.
