The surprising success of Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" is just one more sign that Mainstream Hollywood, who has long shunned the pious, may be starting to embrace the church-going crowd, whether through subtle nods in films like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" or overt imagery in films like the upcoming "Chronicles of Narnia". We'll look at this new trend in movies and see how well church and cinema may work together in the future. Laura's guest is Garen Daly, Film Commentator based in New Hampshire.
