Grinches Need Not Apply

Greg Wright

I can tell you precisely the moment this film won me over, completely. I won't, though, as it might spoil that magical sequence for you. But go see the film, and I bet you a fin you can pick out that scene in a heartbeat.

Battling Evil, or Being Evil?

Darrel Manson

Are we expected to remember the multitude of scriptures that teach love of enemy and leaving room for God to act in ways that are not our ways? Or are we supposed to remember the stories of judges who acted very violently in doing God's work?

Contagion Contagion

David Bruce, Webmaster

 

What would a world-wide infectious disease look like today?  Unlike other films like Outbreak, this episode is not confined.  But this is not about just the disease... it's about fear, and the way the Internet might contribute to its spread. This is not really an action thriller: it's a meditation on the human condition!

Coming to theaters October 14, with free premiere October 13.  I'm sure we've all seen those heart-rending TV infomercials about starving kids in Africa: you know, the ones where Sally Struthers or some other celebrity guilts you into coughing up some dough. This isn't like that... at all.

A Look Back at Troubled Times

Darrel Manson

The historical value is reason enough for resurrecting these films from the vaults, but the film goes beyond its historical relevance by including present day commentary from some of those we meet (predominantly Bobby Seale and Angela Davis).

A Scary Reality

Brock & DeArmond

It's so important that you always keep your faith in God. He can and will help you through anything. He's got you on His mind constantly and he has a plan for you. He'll never leave you out in the cold.

Remembering Dad as Ben-Hur

Darrel Manson

Magical, Outstanding, Refreshing

Mike Furches

Now on Blu-ray. There are so many lessons that one could touch on with this film, but one I have thought little of in the past is the importance of friendship and encouragement we see in the character of Timothy Q. Mouse.
