Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

The Stoning of Soraya M. It’s a movie about an Iranian woman who gets unjustly stoned. Sounds good, huh? The part where they actually stone her lasts somewhere around 15 minutes. It’s quite gratuitous, and while I think it’s supposed to be showing the obvious despicableness of sharia law, it was not a very compelling movie. Not recommended unless you have some desire to see a stoning in graphic detail.
