The Problem With Christian Fiction

“The problem with Christian fiction?  What?  How hypocritical of him…”
It’s true.  I’ve been known to enjoy Christian fiction, and I still count people like Frank Peretti and Sigmund Brouwer to be among some of my favorite authors.  However, I think both of those authors are, for the most part, fairly immune from the problem discussed [...]

All Dogs Go To Heaven

No, not the cartoon movie from twenty years ago.
Maybe I’m the last guy on the block to see this, so if it’s old, please forgive me.  I just ran across it yesterday courtesy of The Point and thought it was rather amusing — an alleged argument between two small-town churches that plays out on their [...]

New Harry Potter 6 Trailer!

In what is apparently becoming a cavalcade of trailer-related posts, I now present to you the new international trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, releasing July 19th of next year (thanks to the recent Warner Bros-approved delay of release).
While most international trailers frequently are just recuts of domestic trailers, this one has quite [...]

Lost Season 5 Trailer!

The countdown to season 5 of LOST begins in earnest with the new trailer from ABC.  The return premiere of the best show on TV in a long time is ambiguously scheduled to start in “early 2009″ (thanks a lot, ABC).
Enjoy the trailer below, then it’s back to theorizing.  Needless to say, if you’re not [...]

Extended Watchmen Trailer

Yep, there’s more footage from Watchmen in this new cut of the previously released trailer.  This extended version debuted last night at Spike TV’s 2008 Scream Awards, introduced by director Zach Snyder and some of the cast from the film. 

If the Bible Had Comments

I’m not sure if this truly qualifies for the “faith” category, but it definitely belongs in “geekery!”

Free Rifftrax!

No, seriously…if you want some thing fun to do this weekend, just check out the free Rifftrax that the guys have posted.  (If you’ve missed hearing about Rifftrax until now, it’s Mike Nelson and the rest of the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 doing what they do best, only with newer movies.  It’s awesome.)
I [...]

First Star Trek Photos!

Since Paramount moved the release of the Star Trek reboot to May 8, 2009, instead of this December, news and info has been slow in coming.  However, a burst of new press photos has made its way onto the web, and they’re quite fun to look at!
For those who haven’t heard much about it, J.J. [...]

American Gods

I just finished reading Neil Gaiman’s novel American Gods.
I promised a friend that I would make more of an effort to review here the books I read, so I will attempt to do that for American Gods, but I must first admit that it is, to me, a daunting task.
American Gods follows a man named [...]
