Report Card

As promised, last night was the premier of the Kirk Cameron project called "Monumental".  This movie, if we can call it that, is basically a documentary on the founding of our country.  Who were the pilgrims?  Why did they come to America?  What kind of society were they trying to establish?  And what about the founding fathers?  Were they attempting to establish a secular government, free from the influence of religion, as we're often told?  And lastly, why has the American experiment gone so horribly wrong?

Nobody can make a 2-hour documentary that covers all of these subjects adequately, but Monumental does an admirable job of at least hitting the high points.

In short, last night was a most enjoyable night at the movies.  And more than a little frightening.

FYI: Monumental will be available on DVD in July.

post script: if you attended the event last night, you know that there were some technical difficulties at the very end (at least in our area of the country).  It turns out that you only missed about a minute or so.  If you'd like to view that portion, click here.
