John Wick 4 Runtime Makes It The Longest John Wick Ever — And That's a Good Thing

The first John Wick was a perfectly plotted movie that came in at a tight 1 hour and 36 minutes, a rarity in today’s increasingly overlong blockbuster landscape. But as the world of Wick expanded, so did its runtimes: Chapter 2 clocked in at 2 hours, 2 minutes, and Chapter 3 was a hefty 2 hours, 11 minutes. Now the recently-released Chapter 4 comes in at the longest of them all: a whopping 2 hours and 49 minutes. Who would want to spend nearly three hours watching Keanu Reeves’ assassin ma...

Review - John Wick - Chapter 4

From Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns to Hong Kong action cinema, John Wick:Chapter 4 wears its influences on its bullet-proof sleeve. Yet one of the most instantly indelible moments in director Chad Stahelski’s fourth film doesn’t riff on classics full of shoot-outs and fights; instead, the Paris-set scene is most reminiscent of the slapstick antics of Laurel and Hardy’s "The Music Box."

For example, the compressed phrase ‘a lamb, looking as though it had been slain, standing…’ (Rev 5.6) is only four words in Greek ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον yet it encapsulates the idea of Jesus as crucified and risen, conquering ...

SAINT-JOHN'S-BREAD - JewishEncyclopedia.com

SAINT-JOHN'S-BREAD: Fruit of the carobtree. It is not mentioned in the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, though Cheyne assumes that in three passages (II Kings vi. 25, xviii. 27 = Isa. xxxvi. 12; Isa. i. 20) ("carob-fruit") should be read instead of ("Expositor," July, 1899). In the New Testament St.-John's-bread is called swine's food (Luke xv. 16); and it is mentioned as such in the Mishnah. The law regarding the edge of the field that may not be harvested applied to the caro...
