Over the last year, a group of writers and storytellers has been meeting at my home. It all started at a creative class hosted by our church, where I was teaching on how to write for the stage.

The Fantastic 4: First Steps is actually fantastic. Here's why . . .

And I’m ready to say it: Sketch (2024) is one of the most imaginative and creative films I’ve seen in a long time. It is a gem in a heap of mindless children’s programming.

My wife gives me a hard time about the trinkets on my desk, and she's right they clutter things a bit. But they're worth it, because they have a purpose. 

I waited patiently for this film to come to theaters. You see, Top Gun: Maverick is one of my favorite action films, and Joseph Kosinski is the same director. 

School is out. Summer is here. Here are five movies made for summer! I’d love to hear what your favorites are.

This wasn’t a gentle correction. It was the voice of the Author Himself, confronting those who had replaced God’s true story with their own. And then, this Stranger began to tell the real story.

At one level, Warrior (2011) is the story of two MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters competing in a tournament called Sparta. The winner of the event takes home 5 million dollars.

Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), not only met our high expectations but offered something that action films rarely do: thoughtful and affirming engagement with the Christian faith.  

The imagination is a tremendous faculty and Black Mirror emphasizes that, warning us about its capacity for evil (i.e., Robert Daly). Sure, Black Mirror highlights VR technology, but it’s a metaphor for the advanced technology image bearers have: the imagination. Human beings are sub-creators, as Tolkien said.
