'Patriot's Day' and the Challenge of Moviemaking in the Trump Era

Regardless of how you felt about the recent election results, one thing is certain—we’re going to be subjected to a whole mess of preachy movies and awards show speeches over the next four years. If you thought #OscarsSoWhite and Patricia Arquette denouncing an injustice (unequal pay for women) that doesn’t exist was bad, just wait till you see what actors, musicians and the cast...

What 'It's a Wonderful Life' Teaches Us About People at Risk

George Bailey, in the midst of financial ruin and facing jail time for someone else’s mistake, drinks heavily, crashes his car, and then attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Merry Christmas? Of course, it all works out, but the plot of It’s a Wonderful Life is downright bizarre in the context of the holidays. While Bing Crosby is crooning about a white Christmas, George...

How Christians Can Revolutionize Faith-Based Media

Movies Not long ago, I wrote an article about how the fate of “Faith-Based” movies was largely secure, thanks in no small part to the patronage of Christian audiences. Whether you love them or loath them, faith-based films have managed to carve out a comfortable niche in today’s modern media. Christians make the movies, Christians watch the movies, and we repeat the process as...

Why Christian Movies Need Flawed Heroes

Movies If you were to ask me which of the Pevensie children in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was my favorite, I wouldn’t hesitate to say Edmund. This may seem like a strange choice given how Edmund is (to barrow a British term) something of a bad egg, but I’d argue that his flaws are precisely what make him so endearing. Over the course of the first book, Edmund racks up a number...

Is There Room for Danger in Christian Movies?

Movies Some time ago, a friend of mine who knew I reviewed movies sent me a suggestion. “It’s a new Christian film”, he told me, “Amazing, and really thought-provoking too. One of the best faith-based movies I’ve ever seen. You should definitely consider writing on it.” Needless to say I was intrigued. So one weekend, with popcorn in hand, I sat down to...

Five Christmas Movies to Watch

Movies This particular blog will be short and sweet. At Christmas time you are going to watch Christmas movies, so be sure to watch the right ones. Meaning, ones that honor Christmas and talk about Jesus in the way He deserves.

Larry David’s comedy is exactly what the nation needs now

God, it’s good to have Larry David back. Before last weekend’s ninth-season debut of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the impresario behind it and “Seinfeld” had been on a bit of a hiatus. Six years have passed since the eighth season of “Curb” ended, and his only major work in that timeframe was 2013’s “Clear History,” an

‘X-Files’ resurrects, and updates, its paranoia

It’s safe to say the new six-episode mini-season of “The X-Files,” which wrapped up Monday, was something of a misfire. Confronted with an audience that hadn’t seen a new episode in almost 14 years — longer, if you’re one of the folks who checked out when Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) left the show
