Preemptive SWNIDisms on Critical Reaction to Expelled

A gentle reader informs us that critics don't much like the anti-Darwinism, pro-ID documentary Expelled. Not having seen the movie, we'll offer the following generalizations that may or may not apply:

• Movie critics do react to the ideology of films more than they realize or will acknowledge. We remember in the early 80s that a number of critics panned Chariots of Fire because of its religious content, seeing anything that ventured into such territory as sentimental and manipulative.
• If the movie uses the Michael Moore techniques of “documentary” filmmaking, we can certainly understand someone seeing it as less than entertaining or honest.
• Christians have operated at least since the 1970s with the false hope that if they just had the right media products to get their message out, massive revival would break out. One of Bill Bright’s last public statements was that The Passion of the Christ represented the greatest evangelistic opportunity of our lifetimes. Well, so much for that.
