(RNS) Reviews of the new hit movie “Gravity” note that it’s an unusually fine science fiction film. What they don’t mention is that the main character represents an increasingly common theme in American religion: The spiritual “none of the above.”
Yes, the special effects are splendid. And I’ll take the word of astronauts who say the visuals capture amazingly well what it’s like to work in the microgravity of near-Earth orbit.
But there are moments where spiritual and philosophical themes take center stage.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. — LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) — Authorities investigating the stabbing death of a Washington-based soldier said Monday they have arrested three other soldiers who serve at the same military installation.
The Lakewood Police Department said all five suspects in the stabbing of Tevin Geike are soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. At least two of the five suspects in the case are cooperating with law enforcement, authorities said.
It’s a busy autumn for Jennifer Hudson. “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete,” out this Friday, marks her second movie of the season following last month’s “Winnie Mandela,” in which Hudson plays the ex-wife of South African President Nelson Mandela. She recently unveiled the lead single from her forthcoming third studio album, and in November she’ll star in “Black Nativity” alongside Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett.
Hudson has said her next album will be more “upbeat,” yet her current film roles are anything but. Each of the aforementioned movies finds the 32-year-old Oscar winner stepping into the shoes of a character overcome with adversity. In “Mister & Pete,” she plays a heroin-addicted prostitute with a 13-year-old son who’s forced to fend for himself when she’s taken to prison. HuffPost Entertainment caught up with Hudson at the movie’s New York press day last week to discuss what it’s like to take on such meaty roles, how she feels about the poor reception “Winnie Mandela” has received and, of course, what she’ll be for Halloween this year.
Congratulations on the film. Filmmakers always say never to work with animals or children. What did working with kids add and take away from the experience of making the movie? (“Mister & Pete” stars Skylan Brooks as Mister and Ethan Dizon as Pete, his 9-year-old friend.)
Fall is in full force here on the northern Pacific coast. All of this wind and rain have me bunkered down indoors and dreading the work that’s waiting for me once the storm clears. Luckily, there’s a slew of helpful tools to tackle everything that autumn can muster.
George Clooney has very many reasons to smile. He’s got a highly acclaimed new movie out, “Gravity,” co-starring his good friend Sandra Bullock. He’s a single man out on the prowl. He’s got more money than you could spend in your lifetime. He’s one of the most loved actors on the planet. Given all these and more, it’s no wonder Clooney often flashes his gorgeous grin:
