Take the hokiest supernatural movie you've seen and combine it with the most ridiculous disaster movie you've seen, and you get a pretty good picture of what's going on with "Ba'al: The Storm God." The thing that made me enjoy the stupid thing is that the writers actually spent a little effort trying to understand Sumerian mythology. It's almost but not quite "The Da Vinci Code" with even more ancient mythology. I see now the DVD costs less than $5. That's about what it's worth. But if you're a few dollars shy of getting free shipping, you could do worse than to tack this breezy, diverting confection onto your order. Keep your expectations suitably low and the story is pretty much a hoot. And the special effects aren't too bad, either. Harkens back to the days of cheesy drive-in movies and matinee specials. It's not great cinema by any stretch, but it's pretty fun, and you might even learn a little about why some archeologists are so intrigued by Sumerian culture, which might, in some ways, have contributed to the Hebrew mythology that lies at the bedrock of much that is Western civilization.

Leuenberger Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:04:38 +0000 http://www.aleatoricarchaeology.net/baal-the-storm-god.html#comment-126 I was stunned by the obvious amount of Sumerian research incorporated into the very literate script of this excellent movie. Though Ba'al's father's identity remains controversial, the movie father, El, is definitely one of the "candidates." The quality of the various actor's performance is generally quite high and, incorporating as it does, a "mystery" as to the identity of one of the main characters, the entertainment value was engrossing throughout. I tend to sell three-fourths of the movies ordered from Amazon. This one is a "keeper!"

i was especially annoyed by the military uniforms that were randomly put together with absolutely no thought to realism, a leautenant wearing captains bars AND upside down corperals chevrons on his sleeve and that was a small example of the many problems. wasnt there anyone connected with this movie that was at least in the military? apparently not.

ignore the good reviews save your money and buy something else maybe ’swamp thing’

For a newcomer to the field of archeology this book helps to understand some of the basics. Very well put together and infromative. The development of ideas is clear and insightful. This book is a winner, and I recommend this for any student of the Bible who seeks to teach the Word of God in it's context. You will find yourself quoting from this book in your sermons!!!
