This is Ben Stein’s movie, which seems to be somewhat controversial. One of the main premises of the movie is that politically incorrect professors get denied tenure or otherwise harassed if they dispute the accepted scientific dogma – think Intelligent Design (of Global Warming?). <\/p>\n
The review (3 stars out of 4) is from Christianity Today<\/strong><\/em>. I’ll probably see it when it comes out on DVD. <\/p>\n Reviews: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed | Christianity Today Movies<\/a><\/p>\n The pre-release controversy surrounding Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed<\/em> didn’t quite reach the fever pitch that preceded The Passion of the Christ<\/em>, but it has nonetheless "bought" the filmmakers more free publicity than they ever could have afforded.<\/p>\n >>>>>><\/p>\n There’s yet another comparison to the pre-Passion<\/em> hype: While critics accused director Mel Gibson and his film of anti-Semitism, the filmmakers behind Expelled\u2014<\/em>and movie host Ben Stein<\/a>, who is Jewish\u2014argue that Darwin and evolutionist theory paved the way for Hitler and the Holocaust (but Scientific American<\/a> begs to differ). Perhaps it’s no coincidence that Motive Marketing, which is spearheading publicity for Expelled<\/em>, was also in charge of PR for The Passion<\/em>.<\/p>\n Now that the movie has hit theaters, does it live up to all the pre-game hype?
