O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000)

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 11:42 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

It's been more than 12 years since "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" opened. But the movie is on my mind on this Good Friday in 2013. And, given its theme of "dead men" who are "raised" through the influence of the Gospel (well, Gospel music, anyway), maybe it's a good movie to revisit the weekend of Easter. Read more

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 4:29 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

David Bowie. Zach Williams. Ashley Cleveland. And more. What are you listening to in 2013? I'd love to hear your recommendations. Read more

In Defense of “Amour”

Last updated on: March 13, 2013 at 3:23 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Michael Haneke's "Amour" is taking a beating from religious-media film reviewers. I think the accusers are wrong. In Haneke’s movies, the lives of civilized, sophisticated, well-educated people are disrupted, reducing them to beastly behavior. It's a theme prevalent in his work: the capacity for evil in all of us. That's just one of 10 reasons why I think "Amour" deserves a closer look. Read more
