Jeffery Overstreet explains why Win Win and Another Year are worth seeing: “Both films are dramas that make you laugh and comedies that shake you up. But both are remarkable for spotlighting what we so rarely see at the movies: good marriages.”

Christianity Today explores the growing trend of Churches doubling as film studios.

E. O. Wilson tries to scientifically explain altruism.

Jason Johnson explains what makes Portal 2 worth playing “is how two-player co-op alters and enhances the genetics of the game.”

The Gaga Saga – Weird Al tells the story of how he planned to parody “Born This Way” but Lady Gaga would not give him the permission that he really didn’t even have to ask her for. BUT apparently Lady Gaga was actually unaware of the song and her manager said no without asking her, or at least that is what Gaga is saying, either way Weird Al gets to make his video! You can hear the song and read the lyrics here.

Carissa:

Jason:

Is it a sign that you’re doing things wrong when even the KKK doesn’t want to associate with you?
