We often get passionate responses from readers who go to the cinema after reading EN’s film reviews. Some consider that these films contain themes, scenes and language that we should not be watching, let alone endorsing.
Should we be going to the cinema at all? Should we get rid of the TV, if we haven’t already? Should we ignore magazines, the radio, the internet? What does it mean to love the Lord with all our mind, heart, soul and strength when we are living in a world saturated by the media?

It is our job as Christian, thinking people, to work out whether to accept or reject the world’s messages. Inevitably, we will be confronted by negative messages about God wherever we turn and we may find these in the most surprising of places. So, whether we are looking at a Disney movie, a Royal Academy exhibition, a Delia cookbook or the latest Bond film, our questions are the same: what does this tell me about the nature of mankind, what does this tell me about the nature of God and how shall I continue to follow him?
