First up,

2014 has turned into the year of resurgence for religious movies and here's another: A film inspired by true events entitled: "Heaven is for Real".

The film is based on the New York Times best-seller by Todd Burpo. The author wrote of how his four-year-old son came out of emergency surgery and afterwards could describe events that it was impossible for him to know.

For example he said he remembers floating above himself during the operation and seeing his father praying in the other room and also meeting long lost relatives and describing them accurately.

The release of "Heaven is for Real" comes on the heels of the release of the movie "Noah" starring Russell Crow and also "God's Not Dead" which surprised the industry by taking in $8.6 million (USD) from just 780 theaters and there are a few others out later this year.

Greg Kinnear, who plays the role of the father Todd Burpo, said he was totally unaware that this religious film would have so much company:

"Certainly there was no pre-meditation that our movie would open in the wake of this, you know, Christian Bale being Moses and Russell Crow being Noah and all these other films that are out there. I thought we were the only ones in the neighborhood that would (laughs.) I thought it would be a fairly lonely journey here but you know suddenly we find ourselves in that mix. I don't quite know why that is, but I didn't give it a lot of thought. I really didn't. I felt like and I think maybe it was my lack of awareness of the book and my lack of just not having been tracking it as a piece of just Christian literature I read it as a screenplay and responded to the story."

Continuing the theme of religion in Hollywood, Christian Bale will play Moses in the upcoming Ridley Scott film "Exodus: God and Kings" due out in December 2014.

But these films are not having it all their own way, Captain America: The Winter Soldier hugely outsold Noah this weekend in North America.. Showing perhaps, twist a phrase by John Lennon, that Marvel is now more popular than Jesus.

"Heaven is for Real" opens April 16 in the U.S.

Like many of the other religious-themed films, I'm sure it will be very popular over there in America.
