Longmire: Season Four?is one of the?best shows I’ve watched this year. While?Quantico?and?Blindspot?have the splashiest ad spots, Netflix’s latest pickup quietly dominates with action, team dynamics, and socially-conscious issues about what it means to be human in today’s ever-changing landscape. Robert Taylor stars as Sheriff Longmire, the taciturn leader of the Absaroka County, Wyoming, sheriff’s department,…
Unless you?ve been living under a rock, you at the very least have an idea that a new Star Wars film is set to hit theatres in about a month. The?opening day of ticket sales crashed the internet (and the first full trailer)! If you are like me, you have your tickets and are anticipating…
I can definitively tell you what I enjoyed the most in theaters this year. I can tell you which films I think will (or at least, should) win awards. I can tell you which films were the ones that resonated with me the most spiritually. I can even tell you which films were dreadfully disappointing….
Early on in?A Charlie Brown’s Christmas,?Charlie Brown tells both Linus and Lucy that he isn’t feeling the season. Linus (who is generally the source of wisdom in these situations) isn’t terribly receptive to his complaint, but Lucy pushes Charlie toward involvement – after diagnosing him as suffering from?pantophobia. While it’s hard to doubt the genius…
Have you got your tickets? That seems to have been one of the main questions amongst Star Wars fans over the last 6 weeks. Amazingly, as soon as Fandango opened their digital doors for advance tickets for The Force Awakens, the latest chapter in the Star Wars canon, they didn?t just get snapped up? they…
If you are a geek like me, the end of November and the start of December has been a time of joy. In a matter of a week, we have gotten the trailer for Captain America: Civil War and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both set the internet ablaze, but it seems that only…
The James Bond canon has reached the end of Daniel Craig’s run- he will most definitely not be back. So where does?Spectre?fall on the spectrum? What are there greatest films featuring the suave British spy? Which films should never have been made? The Duds: #24 through #17 — There’s a whole lot of Roger Moore?here….
What do Starbucks, Seth Rogen, & Jesus have in common? I’m all for apologetics, the “reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine.” In their place and in their time. But why do people of faith find themselves hung up on apologetics when it comes to films made by…
Sex. Now that I have your attention. Or maybe I don?t. I think it?s fair to say that, in the last decade or so, the nature of sex in the media has changed dramatically. While we?ve always been conscious of nudity onscreen, the power and ease of the Internet has brought our sexuality to the…
It usually begins with the look. That bewildered double-take, like they?ve misheard. It?s part disbelief, part revulsion, like when you find a Band-Aid in your Whopper, or when your wife surprises you with The Vagina Monologues tickets. The egocentric statements follow. ?I can?t watch that stuff.? ?That crap disgusts me.? ?I can?t watch that as…
