…more reviews. And, if you have watched the movies, give us your own movie review by leaving a comment. On the subject of any American war, it’s hard to get past labels.

Choose we must, and most tend to choose the supporting side. This is why, in Mel Gibson’s 2016 movie “Hacksaw Ridge,” th…

To return then to the comment which animated this review: part of the reason that modern Christians remain unaware of their own heritage is that while the theologians of Jenson’s work are indispensable for understanding the history of Christianity, the trajectory which they establish feels too fixed.

…Calrissian, how he wins the Falcon, and—in the best scene of all—how he becomes buddies with Chewbacca. I’ve held off on explaining the plot because mentioning almost any of it would spoil too much. What should suffice is that Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) is probably twenty years younger in Solo than he is in Episode IV. He has a girlfriend whom he loves, but they are separated melodramatically in the movie’s opening. After their split, he forever hop…

The problem then is that by defining what is or is not motivated by religious belief, the Administration is seemingly claiming to be able to define the boundaries of what falls into that more protected class of religiously-motivated action.
