Do You Believe? (Gunn, 2015)

Last updated on: March 24, 2015 at 5:20 pm By Andrew Spitznas

While lacking the full-court press anti-intellectualism of its predecessor, this new movie from the makers of God’s Not Dead still suffers from preposterous storylines and ugly bigotry. Read more

The Thin Place #52: The Jones Family Will Make a Way at SXSW

Last updated on: March 18, 2015 at 9:57 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

On the road at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival, Ken and Todd report back on the documentary The Jones Family Will Make a Way. The film chronicles the unlikely alliance between an African-American family of gospel singers and the white, secular rock critic who loves their music.

Last updated on: March 15, 2015 at 2:34 pm By Andrew Spitznas

"Nightcrawler" is a solid piece of film craftsmanship and a decent challenge to the “if it bleeds, it leads” journalistic mentality. While waiting for the winter cineplex dregs to wash away, it's worth your home viewing attention. Read more

Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005) — 10 Years Later

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 6:09 pm By Andrew Spitznas

Revisiting "Brokeback Mountain" after 10 years feels a bit like an archeological dig. After all, director Ang Lee’s film about a pair of covert cowboy gay lovers has more socio-cultural layers of meaning to burrow through than most movies. Read more
