Recently, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at NBC’s 2-hour premier of “Kings“–a new television series that begins on March 15th. “Kings” is not only epic in feel and style, but its storyline takes up an epic of Biblical proportions: a retelling of the life of King David.

In the fascinating, insightful article “Pop-Eye: Meat The Wrestler,” by Brent Plate, Plate wonders the following: “How did reviewers from the New York Times to Christianity Today miss the obvious…

The Oscars is one of the most inspiring nights of the year when the ceremony is done well, and I’m not sure I can remember one done better than last night’s event.

Just last week I reported that a new movie about ” Mary, Mother of Christ” is scheduled to come to a theater near you next Easter season. Now Variety is reporting that another biblical film is also slated for an opening at the same time -though not in America. The twist is that “The Resurrected,”…

A generation ago the technology first became widely available to allow families to document their lives with home movies and audio recordings. The use of these artifacts has transcended the “can you believe I used to look like that?” and “remember that trip?” family viewings and provided the materials for extraordinary films like “Capturing the…
