 SEARCHING FOR TRUTH Can we celebrate the myths of our lives (by which I mean stories of meaning regardless of historicity) for how they define us without having to defend or prove their accuracy? Does truth require validation other than our lives? And what of the stories that we share with others? How do we communicate truth that others may not yet have lived?
It is not easy to answer any of these questions. It can even be difficult to ask them. But Stories We Tell brings them all to our minds in a powerful way. Read more...

 SECRETS DESTROY One of the notes I made to myself as I watched was, "What will bring wholeness?"
Alas, there is no wholeness and very little healing to be found in the film. Read more...

 FALLING SKIES This is darker, more Predator-like evil, egged on by the alien technology. It's less hokey, more realistic, and more frightening. And I like it - I give this one 9 out of 10 (weighted for summertime competition) stars! Read more...
