“The Road,” Coming Soon to a Church Near You
“The Road” is another new film that’s being marketed to Christians. Clearly Hollywood is paying attention to the faith community, but for what reason?
Trends I Don’t Get: Making Your Name More Trendy
Many businesses are changing their names to something they think is more catchy. It seems that those in the church are trying to do it, too.
Final Wolverine Trailer
With March barely upon us, it’s probably too early to declare the arrival of the summer movie season. Still, anticipated films like Coraline, Watchmen, and others are already here, while the hype for other anticipated movies just keeps building.
Case in point: the latest (and last) trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is here, courtesy of MTV. [...]
Superbowl Movie Trailers
Regardless of whether they watched it or not, most people probably know that the Superbowl was last night. It was a terrific game (much less one-sided than it could have been), but as any regular viewer of the NFL’s big event knows, the real highlights are the commercials.
While this was a better year than many [...]
Facing Facebook – Part 3 of 3 (Circle Up!)
This is the last of a 3 part series on using Facebook in a ministry model. Yesterday I shared an example of using Facebook to simply reach people where they are hanging out.
In retrospect, I realized that I am probably leaving the least intriguing observation to last. But I still think it’s coo!
It is one [...]
Neil Gaiman in the News
It has been quite a week for author Neil Gaiman!
It all started Monday morning, when he was informed that his recent work The Graveyard Book had won the Newbery Medal for 2009…
Facing Facebook – Part 1 of 3 (Who’s Listening?)
This one definitely needs to be filed under “Faith”. Talking about Facebook has become so mainstream, it hardly qualifies as “Geek” any more.
For the last few months, I have been intrigued as I watch Christian ministries tentatively step into the world of Facebook.
Movies to Watch in 2009
…or at least ones that I think I do!
First I briefly reviewed the 2008 releases I’d seen, then made a list of 2008 releases I’d yet like to see. Now, concluding this series of posts from the last several days is a look ahead to the coming year of movies and the ones that exist [...]
Sneak Peek at LOST Premiere
Oh, man. As if yesterday’s geekout moment wasn’t enough to induce mass impatience, today brings 102 seconds (shouldn’t it be 108?) of new LOST footage from January 21st’s season premiere. I hadn’t realized how much I missed this show until I saw this.
Just over a month to go…
New Trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine!
It’s here. You might want to sit down for this.
From everything I can see in the trailer, there’s a lot that they’re getting right. I’m excited to see that they seem to have incorporated material from 2001’s Origin miniseries. There’s a lot here that establishes Wolverine’s long, muddled past; right away they show that clearly [...]
