It was supposed to be a busy weekend at the multiplex. With the spring movie season winding down and The Avengers just around the corner (May 4), four new films rushed to theaters this weekend to beat the summertime rush. None were expected to be Hunge …

Shortly after we started this series of blog posts on how to engage with problematic films, I came across a comment from Josh, one of our readers, essentially calling us out in the best possible way. Here’s what he wrote: The thing that get’s me in thi …

Tom and Violet want to get married. But then they have to move to Michigan for her job. So the wedding’s officially postponed. Um, why would that be again?

Katniss had a good run. After four weeks as box office champ, The Hunger Games was finally toppled by a couple of films about—well, couples. Think Like a Man featured four of ’em, in fact (plus a tag-along divorced guy)—perhaps figuring the only way to …

Whenever Christians start arguing about entertainment—why they see or don’t see certain things, Philippians 4:8 is sure to pop up before the conversation gets too old. It goes like this: “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever …

Play catch with a major league starting pitcher? Most of us will never get the chance. But thanks to Twitter, it might be a good idea for us to cart around a glove. Earlier this week Jeremy Guthrie, the opening day starter for the Colorado Rockies, sen …

Jennifer Aniston is old. Not old old, mind you—but at 43, she’s older than Shaquille O’Neal, and he’s been retired for years. She’s older than the Internet. She’s old enough to be Justin Bieber’s mom. She’s older than me, for goodness sake—by like thre …

Spring is traditionally a fallow season for the box office. The blockbusters of summer are still months away. Oscar hopefuls are still being gussied up for their November/December debut. March and April are supposed to be times for the “other guys”—qui …
