Time for Miracles, Time for Adam Lambert to save ‘2012’ [VIDEO]
Posted by Jay Firestone
Follow JewishJournal.com on 
Just when I thought the disaster flick, “2012” couldn’t get any more unappealing, they do something like this…
and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES.
In my mind, if you’re going to destroy God’s beautiful creations through over-the-top special effects, you better have a wicked soundtrack to accompany it.
Not sure what is more of a travesty though, the events that unfold in 2012 or the fact that Adam Lambert didn’t win American Idol. Either way, we can all be glad that Lambert has come to rescue what seems like yet another sequel to Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, and 10000 BC. (Note: This movie will probably be just as fun and thrilling as all of those previously listed—they were all directed by Roland Emmerich.)
Here’s the synopsis from the official 2012 website:
Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. “2012” is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggles of the survivors.
Funny, isn’t that the same thing the Republicans said of Obama’s inauguration?
For your viewing and listening pleasure, Adam Lambert sings “Time for Miracles”
“2012” opens Nov. 13
