     Zero Dark Thirty 
 Darrel Manson 
  This is the kind of film that invites controversy. Indeed, I've read people  who are upset with the film for a variety of reasons, some articles  contradicting others about all that's wrong with it.

     The Guilt Trip
   Don't Worry About It  Pastor Dice
  Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand. Isn't that just the co-starring team  you've been waiting for? Many parts of the film really work, and  Streisand is, of course, great. But... No chemistry really develops.  It's also predictable, and hard to find anything to say about!

     Promised Land
   Truth... from Whom?  Jacob Sahms
  How do we know what "truth" really is? Who are we letting filter the  truth for us? Matt Damon has made a habit of starring in small-sized  pictures that address big ideas. His latest asks us to examine the  evidence for ourselves and make good decisions moving forward.

     Man of Steel
   Superman Showcase  Brian Dedmon
  We comic book geeks have to face the facts: most of what is known about Superman is gleaned from Richard Donner's 1978 film, Superman,  starring Christopher Reeve. There's a lot in that film and its sequels  that we'd like to forget, like kisses that erase memory and a cellophane  "S" that Supes can rip off of his chest and throw at a bad guy.

   Little Red Wagon     Steve Norton
  Even at the young age of 15, Zach Bonner is making an enormous impact.  
  Whereas  most teens his age are only beginning to consider their future and  potential colleges, Zach has already been spearheading the Little Red  Wagon Foundation (or LRWF), a national ministry to homeless youth, for  almost a decade.  Working with major corporations-not to mention  receiving the support of four different presidents-Zach and his family  passionately seek to raise awareness about the over one million homeless  youth and children in the United States.
  "It's exciting for me  to see how these major corporations have become supportive of the  mission," Zach beams.  "After all, I was only 6 years old when I  started."
  That's right.  Six years old...

  News About What's in the Works for Film and Faith Managing Editor Greg Wright
   The Superbowl                    You've heard of the Superbowl, right?   Well, have you heard of "Crash the Superbowl"?   And have you heard of Mark Freiburger?     No? Well, I think you're going start hearing a lot more about him.   Crash the Superbowl is Doritos' annual contest to select  "consumer-generated" commercials to air during the annual NFL hoo-ha.  And if you've ever watched the Superbowl, you know some of those Doritos  ads beat the pants off the ones made by "the professionals."   One of the five finalists this year is Freiburger, a young filmmaker who made his feature debut with Dog Days of Summer in 2007. Since then he's worked steadily with Gary Wheeler producing  and directing a string of films based on the novels of Robert Whitlow,  including The Trial and Jimmy. Wheeler and Freiburger  are great examples of Christians working to produce excellent films both  for the faith niche market and for a broader audience as well.   Read More...       Also from The Pipeline...   The Blood & The Rose

Let's pretend that the Hobbit book was never created and that Peter Jackson was just rebooting The Fellowship.  What would a reboot of the fellowship look like?  Well, based on rules made by Batman Begins and The Amazing Spider Man....
