Fahrenheit 9/11 (Moore, 2004) — Ten Years Later

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 7:39 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Moms’ Night Out (Erwin and Erwin, 2014)

Last updated on: September 3, 2014 at 6:55 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

Moms' Night Out is the first (and so far only) "Christian" movie that I could maybe, sort of, imagine a non-Christian enjoying. Not every non-Christian, certainly, Maybe not most. But some...and that's progress after a fashion. Read more

Inside Hana’s Suitcase (Weinstein, 2009)

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 6:59 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Few events in history have been the subject of as many books and films as the Holocaust, yet paradoxically each new narrative serves to remind us that we can only ever scratch the surface of tragedies composed of the loss of human lives. Read more

Film Fest DC — 2014

Last updated on: November 10, 2014 at 9:02 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

White Lies (Rotberg, 2013)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 11:27 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

That's probably one reason why there are so few genuinely engaging movies about abortion. Most interesting dramas have at least a bit of internal conflict. But in melodramas about polarizing issues, if such internal conflicts are too heavy, the drama risks alienating those viewers who may perceive such misgivings as signaling uncertainty. If they are too light, it risks accusations of treating a grave matter too superficially. Rare is the film that seriously challenges its characters to feel reservations about their position, much less face them. Read more

Art Recession (Lai, 2011)

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 3:13 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Dolphin Tale 2 — Cozi Zuehlsdorff and Bethany Hamilton
