The surprise hit movie of 2014 is not the coming big budget flop from Hollywood, NOAH, but the offering from some wonderful folks at PURE FLIX and actor Kevin Sorbo. Their sleeper hit “GOD’S NOT DEAD” surprised the mainstream movie industry when it opened in only 780 screens across America on Friday March 21 and ended up at number 4 in the Box Office that weekend! The average Hollywood production launches in 3000 or more screens (just as a gauge).
 What makes this movie the potential blockbuster not seen since 2004’s Passion of the Christ is quality production combined with inspired solid professional writing. The main story revolves around a freshman Christian student Josh Wheaton who finds himself in a Philosophy class run by the vitriolic atheist Professor Radisson (played by the popular actor Kevin Sorbo). Radisson begins his class by telling all 80 plus students that they must disavow God, write on a piece of paper that “GOD IS DEAD” and sign their name to it. Josh is a Christian and comes face to face with this Faith or what his cultural “christian” (and soon to be ex-) girlfriend calls “his future”.
