I am really looking forward to seeing The Nativity Story after watching the trailers and interviews with the director and writer. It won't be everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but it's an interesting and historically important story regardless of where you are on the faith continuum.
It looks really well done. Catherine Hardwicke is the director and Mike Rich wrote it. Mary is played by Keisha Castle-Hughes.
You can download an Advent calender with twinkly stars and some pretty cool wallpaper at the movie's website.
