The Avengers

Antiheroes Assemble

Justin C. Martin

To discover true heroics which have already saved and need not avenge, one must simply look up. See beyond a soldier with the name of but one country and discover a God who unites us all. Oh, and don't forget the popcorn.

Looks Good in 3-D

Dice

Aardman has always been a good one for making films for the whole family... and the sense of humor is always right up my alley. A dry alley. A lot of the jokes here will actually go over the head of kids.

Some Work, Some Don't: NBFF Day 6

Wednesday gave me another chance to catch some of the shorts playing at the festival. One more day of festival ahead.


Paris, Ireland, and Sweden: NBFF Day 5

I think I found my surprise of the festival yesterday in Stella Days. Sheen, by the way, plays a priest as well as Barry Fitzgerald ever did. (And I mean that as a compliment.)


Coming Soon: NBFF Day 4

Many of the films that play at festivals never see any other life. Yesterday there were four films playing at NBFF that either have already made it to theaters or will be coming soon.


Stories from Near and Far: NBFF Day 3

Stories from an Undeclared War focuses on Eric Gruwell, the teacher at Wilson High in Long Beach and her students who became The Freedom Writers (and who were the subjects of a 2007 narrative film starring Hilary Swank).


The Lens Looks at Family: NBFF Day 2

I've seen pretty mediocre films at festivals before. I love it when a day comes together so that I feel I've seen quality films. Day 2 at NBFF was one of those days.


Many Ways of Moving on in Life: NBFF Day 1

My first day at NBFF opened with a quick trip around the world through a shorts program, "Open My Mind Shortly."

Dueling, Singin, and Praying

Jacob Sahms

Now on Blu-ray. Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton headline a motley crew of actors and singers in this gospel-inflected tale of competition and small town life.
