THE INVITATION to THE PATH: Pain, The Search for Truth, and Being in Community

Last updated on: April 12, 2016 at 2:50 pm By J. Ryan Parker

I spent the weekend in a cult frame of mind. Saturday morning, I watched Karyn Kusama’s great new film, The Invitation, and spent much of Sunday afternoon obsessing over the terrific new Hulu series, The Path. Both have, whether their characters admit to it or not, cults at the center of their narratives. But the film and series are about much more than that as they also provide windows into much broader discussions about faith and the variety of ways we believe... Read more

On Netflix Tomorrow: HUSH

Last updated on: April 7, 2016 at 5:41 pm By J. Ryan Parker

A single, deaf-mute woman living alone in a cabin in the woods. The horror/thriller Hush (Blumhouse and Intrepid Pictures) almost writes itself. As such, it offers little in the way of narrative surprises, but its fresh use of sound–given its heroine’s disabilities–adds something intriguing to the mix. (more…) Read more

Apocalypses Grand and Intimate: A Review of STATION ELEVEN

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 9:06 am By J. Ryan Parker

As big of a fan as I am of the post-apocalyptic genre (films, TV series, and novels), beautiful isn’t the first word I’d use to describe many of these texts. But it’s the first word I mumbled to myself as I finished Emily St. John Mandel‘s novel, Station Eleven. (more…) Read more

HUMAN ACTS: A Review

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 11:34 am By J. Ryan Parker

With The Vegetarian, readers have found in Han Kang a writer of immense talent. From the basis of one character’s small, private decision, she wove a haunting narrative that is as beautiful as it is frightening and as political as it is personal. For Human Acts, her next book available in English (and as with The Vegetarian, also translated by Deborah Smith), Kang starts with a monumental, national event (though one likely unfamiliar to most Western readers), the Gwangju Uprising. Here, Kang... Read more

DAREDEVIL and the Dignity of Villains

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 10:48 am By J. Ryan Parker

After a lengthy absence, Netflix’s critically-acclaimed series, Daredevil, returned for its second season last week. It sustains the gritty–yet beautiful–look of the first season and expands on its moral and religious themes. Where Matt Murdock/Daredevil’s internal struggle took center stage in the first season, this second season considers the dignity of the human person, even the most heinous criminals.
