We have the poster for the upcoming film The Ruins, this afternoon thanks to our friends at movieslonline. Check it out!
Plot outline from IMDB: A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.
Ancient evil being brought back by foolish travelers is a great set up for a film. You know they didn’t mean to do it, and you sympathize with them as cataclysmic supernatural events start to destroy their lives. The differing curses and hexes bring about all sorts of ailments and the story teller has blank checks of woe that he assigns to each of them throughout the film. The first trailer that I saw for this looked ok, but it was hard to judge. I certainly like the sound of the story and will be sure to catch it in the theatre.
The Ruins is scheduled for a release date of April 4th.
hahhahah
he moonlights as a fortune teller
?….trying to figure out why Ben Stein has anything to do with ‘The Ruins’ LOL.
Thanks Doug, that’s right, it’s England that has a real bad creationism problem. Anyway, I appreciate reading those words from an official Movie Blogger, I only wish we could get them into the correct forum. Oh well, thanks again.
I believe evolution is fact. We do not have a problem with ID in Canada like you do in America, our country is much more secular.
I know ID wants equal footing in the classroom and the is nonsense because as you have mentioned, it is a fringe belief in the scientific community. We do not teach children fringe beliefs in school, we teach them the accepted scientific truths of the day.
As I have said in a previous post Pope John Paul 2 proclaimed evolution was most certainly a fact. When the Pope supports your science, you know you have quite the argument.
The overwhelming majority of scientists believe in evolution as a fact. It works, has worked and will continue to work.
My great great grandmother rode a dinosaur to school.
Doug. I’m glad Ben had a chance to speak his mind, as everyone should. I think a great place to lay down the opposite view is in the comment section. I did a lot of work in transcribing and replying to Ben’s statements. The fact that I can’t publish them makes me feel like a looser. A lonely internet looser.
And when I say I don’t think you guys did a great job in confronting IDers, I don’t mean any disrespect. I think the story is valid as a movie related piece, and that its not your job to know every rebuttal to every IDer position. It is very frustrating, because ID is a very fringe, very duplicitous attempt to introduce Creationism back into American public schools. Its a subject much bigger and more important than most movie opinion, I’m afraid. Don’t you guys have similar problems with creationism in Canada?
I certainly disagree with everything Ben said but also wanted him to say his piece. I figured debate would continue in the comments section. I am not sure why they have been turned off, I am also unable to post.
Hey, why did you turn off the comments for the Ben Stein interview. I did some work that I’d like to share. Other than Doug not letting Ben Stein get away with saying that Darwinists helped Hitler exterminate the Jews, you guys didn’t do a great job of confronting the people that Ben Stein represents.
