Fireproof is a movie.
A DVD of this movie had been sitting on my television for about a month. Being attached to a church, I have been under a little bit of pressure to see it. Not in a direct way, but folks have been talking about it and would keep asking if I had seen [...]
Just my two cents on a few movies I’ve seen recently.
Ironman (real theatre)
Great movie. Fun ride. You have to suspend disbelief a bit, but a good ride. A little bit trite (actually, cornball trite) on the climax, but really fun. Only one thing really bothers me: the bald scientist that was trying to help invent the power source [...]
N.B. There are no spoilers in this post about the movie The Happening, but there are spoilers of the 1989 movie The Abyss. The spoiler areas have been clearly marked.

Yes, it’s shaky video, but soooo worth it. Very, very exciting. There were at least two scenes in [...]
When I said I missed the Soviets, I was only being comparative and hypothetical. I didn’t actually want the Soviets to return:
Putin: U.S. Missile Defense Plans Would Force Russia to Target Europe
Keep in mind that Putin was the head of the KGB during the Soviet era. It ain’t all peaches and cream in Russia quite [...]
