Fox Faith? Fox FAITH???!!!

:rofl:

Irony is not just dead. It's completely decomposed and wild animals are gnawing its bones.

OK, I'm behind the culture curve, but until just now, I did not know such a thing existed as Fox Faith Entertainment.

Faith in WHAT? Bill O'Reilly's heartwarming shows about the war on Xmas? Kindly, benevolent corporate paterfamilias Rupert F. Murdoch? The modest, unassuming interview style of Sean Hannity?

At least, judging by the website, Fox Faith is not aiming at an ecumenical, all-religion-is-good, sit-around-the-campfire-and-sing-Kumbyah audience. It's product is aimed at a CHRISTIAN audience and that message is right in your face. Which is not exactly a surprise, I guess.

I learned about Fox Faith because one of its movies just popped up on my Egyptian satellite system.

The Ultimate Gift. With James Garner, Brian Dennehy and Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine.

Garner and Dennehy obviously just needed paychecks. Breslin steals the show, which in the case of this mess would only earn her a misdemeanor for petty theft. The leading man is something named Drew Fuller, whose acting is more wooden than a life-size splinter of the true cross.

The flick mixes the ever-popular Terminally Ill Child Plot with crusty but loveable millionaires, a goofy plot sideswipe involving Ecaudorian drug/kidnap gangs, a frightening statue of Jebus in a hospital chapel and...well, a bunch of other stuff. Including that cherished right-wing fantasy about millionaires really, REALLY believing in hard manual labor and the values of poor folks. (Bush family, anyone?)

This POS might actually be fun, if you invited some friends over, got very drunk, and gave it the MST3K treatment.

1. I'd guess it's for people who find the Hallmark Channel too violent and edgy

And you're probably only ever 2 hours away from a repeat of 'Touched By An Angel'.

2. I was touched by an Angel once...

but I don't think her parents would have liked where she touched me :)
