Someone was asking about the movie One Night with the King. It's an okay movie, obviously Christian-made but still ok by Jewish standards. They do have a few touches that are meant to be Jesus-related foreshadowing, but it's kind of subtle. Also, they've changed a few things from the original story to make it more Hollywood. It's beautiful to look at, great settings and costumes. The acting takes itself too seriously and the pace is a bit slow.
You can hear a review of this film from a Jewish viewpoint on the Purim episode of The Book of Life podcast at <http://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2007/02/book-of-lifes-purim-celebration.html>http://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2007/02/book-of-lifes-purim-celebration.html.
