The Prophecy

The Prophecy (Chris Walken, Eric Stoltz, Viggo Mortensen) was great. The whole pro-human Angels vs. anti-human Angels war on earth was an interesting concept.

Walken was creepy as usual and Viggo was a great Satan (as opposed to The Great Satan - the USA).

Southpark

Don't forget Southpark: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Satan, Saddam, Canada - if that's not epic theology, what is?

Sure if we are including Greek mythology. But then we can include half the films out there.

Don't get me wrong, I like looking at Keanu, but I don't think anyone can honestly say he is a good actor. He is very wooden. Ever since Bill and Ted, he has been trying to distance himself from that persona and has ended up with only one character in his collection.

C'mon! Did you ever see Point Break? The way he delivered the line "Today I caught my first tube, sir" ? That was a tour de force of understated acting. NOTHING wooden about it. The delivery of that single line brought the character of a hip young FBI undercover agent playing a surfer/bank robber to life.

BTW my favorite line in Prophecy (paraphrasing) was when the ex-priest says "Angels were the tools of destruction and death all throughout the bible. When you really think about it, would you ever want to meet one?"
