, yet how he turns things around for himself using his talent as a Martial Artist. It also weaves a love story throughout, showing the developing relationship between Bruce and a young American woman named Linda Emery who would shock her family by falling in love with a China-man. The movie then progresses to the couple fighting their prejudices, becoming a family, and Bruce's wanting to promote the Martial arts, not just within the Chinese Race, which earns him hatred from fellow Chinesemen who believes the art should be kept within the Chinese people. The film also shows us how Bruce Lee came to fame, and his fight to become a superstar, and the sheer determination he has to get there, at the cost of anything. We see this determination shine through when Bruce is severly injured in an accident, and the scenes here are quite inspiring. It ...

Review of There's a Spider in the Bath! - Neil Griffiths, Peggy Collins

Rocking Out With Jesus? Are They ALLOWED To Do That?

Advantages: Excellent musicianship and songwriting. Thought provoking lyrics.
Disadvantages: Strong Christian message may put off those not "in faith".

INTRODUCTION The usual, stereotypical image of Christian music is of one man in chunky cable jumper strumming his acoustic guitar and doing his best John Denver impersonation singing ?Kumbaya?, or, alternatively dozens of hand waving, happy clappy gospel singers in blue gowns giving it some welly.
