Review: ‘The Uprising’ Asks: ‘Is There Not a Cause?’

Last updated on: September 11, 2026 at 10:11 pm By DeWayne Hamby

0 Comments

“The Uprising” is a grand historical epic filtered through Paul Greengrass’s gritty, handheld, boots-in-the-mud style. It doesn’t glamorize the Middle Ages. It drops you into the wind-beaten fens of east England in 1381 and lets the dirt, grief, and injustice do the talking. Andrew Garfield (“The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Hacksaw Ridge”) plays an ordinary farmer known only as “The Ploughman,” a man bent double by toil and haunted by the graves of the family the plague took from him. His performance... Read more

Andrew Garfield Felt ‘Called’ to Crucifixed Story ‘Uprising’

Last updated on: September 9, 2026 at 11:38 pm By DeWayne Hamby

0 Comments

My articles frequently circle the faith and spirituality side of entertainment, so “The Uprising,” the new film from Paul Greengrass starring Andrew Garfield, landed in a distinct way. The historical drama about England’s 1381 Peasants’ Revolt is not marketed as a “faith film.” But sitting with Greengrass and Garfield in an interview prior to its release, it was hard not to hear a spiritual story underneath the revolt. Garfield plays the Ploughman, a farmer who has already lost almost everything... Read more

DOE’s ‘Shiloh’ honors faith, family, and legacy

Last updated on: September 7, 2026 at 10:09 pm By DeWayne Hamby

0 Comments

DOE, the GRAMMY-winning singer, songwriter and worship leader, has released her third studio album, “Shiloh,” via SONY/Provident, a 12-track worship journey rooted in legacy, family, and the presence of God. The title draws from her son’s name, evoking both “peace” and, as she notes, “the One to whom it belongs,” a thread that runs through Scripture and her own story. “Psalm 22 really became the foundation for this project, especially the word ‘posterity,’” DOE said. “We were someone’s posterity at...

Mark Wahlberg: ‘God Has Your Back’ Even When Justice Doesn’t

Last updated on: September 3, 2026 at 12:59 pm By DeWayne Hamby

Mark Wahlberg has played priests, fighters, soldiers, and a lot of men who settle things with their hands. In “By Any Means,” opening Sept. 4, he plays a different kind of problem-solver: real-life Colombo family hitman Gregory Scarpa, the man the FBI allegedly pulled off the books when the law was not enough. Across from him is Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Wayne Strider, a young Black FBI agent who still believes there is a right way to do the job.... Read more
