Screening The Sacred
This book is divided in three parts: "Theological Criticism", "Mythological Criticism" and "Ideological Criticism". Besides the problematic criteria used to outline the sections, the first one is of very poor quality, and the third is just OK. Some analyses are grounded on few readings and few comparisions, others are better discussed elsewhere. And finally the filmography is presented only in one article (by the way, the best one, about humanoid aliens).
