I was so focused on starting my new teaching schedule for summer classes today that I forgot to post this week’s trailer earlier! I’m curious to hear what you think of this one, at first glance the very title sounds like a punchline to many people. I mean, we’ve got these Fast & Furious films […]
The Matrix is one of my favorite movies, has been since I first saw it in theaters almost, GASP, fifteen years ago. You’ve gotta see what happened when filmmaker Joe Nicolosi asked his mom to describe the movie to him. She is great, and I laughed so hard watching this. If you haven’t seen The […]
The armor was never a hobby or a distraction. It was a cocoon. — Tony Stark Iron Man 3 is Robert Downey Jr.’s fourth (and possibly final) turn as Tony Stark under his third director – Shane Black (Jon Favreau and Joss Whedon being the previous). It’s also the first Marvel Phase 2 film – […]
Civil dialogue seems to be a thing of the past. More and more, we divide ourselves into camps, turn every issue into Us vs. Them. Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice. Democrats and Republicans. Cubs vs. Cardinals. And increasingly in our culture, Christian vs. Atheist. When we polarize our positions, we eliminate any real opportunity for dialog. I […]
Pain and Gain is the new film starring Mark Wahlburg (who will forever be Marky Mark in my heart) and The Rock. It’s smart, funny and completely over-the-top, which makes it hard to remember that the story actually happened. (Here’s a great article from Slate fact-checking the film). But the most surprising is that this […]
Oh man, you have got to watch this. In case you aren’t sure what corner of Washington this hilarious parody came from, it was made for the annual White House Correspondents Dinner which is usually the most cordial and funny event in American politics each year, that rare time we actually get to see government […]
The trailer is here for the next THOR movie. Take a look. I liked the first Thor movie. It was just fun. And I’m sure I’ll see this one, but I’m not over the moons of Asgard for it…yet. Then again, Dark Elves are kind of exciting. Looks like Jane is going to Thor’s place […]
I grew up going to Christian Youth Summer Camp. The ongoing joke was that camp concluded each year by playing the Michael W. Smith neo-classic “Friends Are Friends Forever” while everyone cried and hugged their new best friends forever and swore to write to each other. Which of course never happened. (And yes, I grew […]
Yes, I have a lifelong connection to Superman. Yes, I cannot wait until Man of Steel comes out this summer. And then I saw this amazing trailer. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. Will you see this movie?
I don’t find too many people through blogging and social media who share my love of hard rock, so I’ve learned to save those discussions for other places. But I just heard a song by a new band called Devour The Day that has AMAZING lyrics. Regardless of your music tastes, I think you should […]
