Superman 2025: Illegal alien adopted under false pretenses by American farmers finds out his real parents were criminals from an envious billionaire who uses the information to trash the illegal alien's previously stellar reputation, but the maligned alien prevails in the end, even forcing the reckless industrialist to confess his real motivations. Ancilliary characters include a jerk with bowlcut and a very reluctant heart of gold, a new father, a violent screechy woman, a plucky reporter/love interest, a clever and confident black man, and a cute dog. The latter two nearly stole the show.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

It was actually a fun action movie.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's one of a handful of movies I never tire of.

A jaunty documentary about the $100M diamond heist in Antwerp over the Valentine's Day weekend in 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerp_diamond_heist
Part police procedural, part Oceans Eleven, the story plays out in interviews and reenactments with some nice work by the props department. The alleged mastermind features prominently, and he's an interesting character. A worthy watch.
Since it happened in 2003, isn’t it a little premature to call it ‘the heist of the century’?

Ok, fine. When someone heists $100 000 001 worth of diamonds before 1 January 2101, I want you to remember this exchange.
