The Nativity Story
Had to watch this because it's Christmas and we're celebrating the birth of Jesus. I honestly liked this more than Mel Gibson's Passion of Christ, I can't really compare because both movies have great messages, but i just enjoyed this more and i really liked the story of John and Mary.
Merry Christmas to all of my Orthodox brothers and sisters!

My Dad Loves This Movie. My Mom Started Crying. I thought it was okay. 

Not sure Oscar Isaac does anything other than movies involving large amounts of time in sandy areas.
