Last updated on: May 3, 2013 at 9:22 am By Amy Lepine Peterson

If you haven’t yet read Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple (Little, Brown and Company 2012; out in paperback this month) it will likely be your favorite beach read this summer, so I won’t give away the ending. It’s the beautiful and hilarious story of 15 year old Bee Branch’s attempt to understand what happened when her mother disappeared without warning on the day before they were set to leave for an Antarctic vacation.

Last updated on: May 2, 2013 at 10:39 pm By Geoffrey Reiter

On March 3, History Channel premiered its much-discussed miniseries The Bible, which proved to be thoroughly popular both on its original airdates and now on DVD. But what intrigued me more was the show that followed The Bible’s premiere, History Channel’s first original fictional series, Vikings. The series ended its inaugural season this Sunday but will return for a second season sometime in 2014. The brainchild of former Tudors scribe Michael Hirst, Vikings follows the exploits of the semi-mythical Ragnar... Read more

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. During an early scene in Gorō Miyazaki’s From Up on Poppy Hill, our attention is directed to a high school in Yokohama, Japan.

Have mainstream critics ignored the “Christian message” in Terrence Malick’s “To the Wonder”?

Last updated on: May 1, 2013 at 12:51 pm By Nick Olson

In a piece that’s been passed around quite a bit, Damon Linker suggests that film critics in the mainstream media have, for whatever reason, largely ignored its religious outlook. Here’s the key assertion from Linker: [T]he vast majority of mainstream critics have failed to treat [The Tree of Life and To the Wonder] as the profoundly religious — and specifically Christian — works of art that they are. Whether or not the silence is a product of the theological illiteracy and scriptural... Read more
