Cowboys and Aliens

Riding Toward Absolution

Maurice Broaddus

It's content to be a popcorn movie and that's not a bad thing as it delivers what it promises (There ARE cowboys AND aliens! Shut up!). Beautiful and fun, the film is the perfect mix of action and humor.

The Help

Effecting Change

Elisabeth Leitch

"Everyone hits rock bottom, they want to know where God is. And that's what my thing was, 'Where are you? If you're here, if you're real, help me. Send me someone.' Because I believe God works through people." --Mary J. Blige

Trailer

Based on the New York Times best-seller, The Help stars Emma Stone as Skeeter, Academy Award-nominated Viola Davis as Aibileen, and Octavia Spencer as Minny... "three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk." The Help opens August 10.
