To finish out the month of April, I thought it would be fitting to focus on the two most well-known yet controversial films about Jesus Christ. On one side, we have Martin Scorsese‘s The Last Temptation of Christ. Released by Universal Pictures in 1988, it quickly became one of the most debated films of all time. A film that has only just begun to be judged fairly in recent years, and made as only Scorsese could make it. On the other side, we have Mel Gibson‘s The Passion of the Christ. Like The Last Temptation of Christ, it was met with controversy when Newmarket Films acquired it for release in 2004, but the result was different. The Passion of the Christ became a box office blockbuster. Both films are beautifully made and were made for next to nothing, but a greater question remains: Which one is better?

Indiana Jones, meet Jules Winnfield. One of them fights Nazis. The other takes out the garbage for kingpin Marsellus Wallace. One of them cracks a whip, while the other is known for his quips. Both fire pistols, and both are in some strange way the chosen ones of a higher power. Rough around the edges and not above killing a few bad guys, Indiana and Jules represent the stars of this week’s Reel Rumbles match-up: Pulp Fiction vs. Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Reel Rumbles #1: “Alien” vs. “Aliens”
19, Sep 2009
In This Corner…
The year is 1979, and film audiences are about to discover that in space, no one can hear you scream. Seven years later, the terror returns, and this time – it’s war.
The two films – Alien and Aliens – were unlike anything audiences had seen before, or were likely to again. Each was groundbreaking to its specific genres – the first to horror, and second to action. While most have been able to agree the two are terrific, the real conflict comes when asked to pick the superior film.
Now in this, the inaugural edition of Flickchart’s newest blog feature, Reel Rumbles, it’s time these titans stepped into the ring and finally decided, once and for all, which is the better film.
