Hanna is a very depressing film. Very simply, this is a tale of lost innocence. It begins with images of pristine, snow-capped hills and slumbering, snow white swans, and it ends in an abandoned, decrepit amusement park in the shadow of the fangs of tunnel shaped liked the open jaws of a wolf. In between a sixteen-year-old girl does horrific things to countless people oftentimes using nothing but her bare hands.

Not since Chariots of Fire have I seen a film so honoring of the Christian faith and so honest about the philosophical difficulties of practicing that faith…

Woven throughout are a whole host of other wonderful themes as well – hospitality, forgiveness, care for the elderly, unselfishness, second chances, renewed hope, justice, family, and the kind of faith that is lived more than talked about. Win Win is a story about a good man on the precipice of being less than that and the people who help him keep from falling…

They say that worship is the only thing we do on earth that we will also do in heaven. When they’re talking about singing as worship, I don’t really agree, but if they’re talking about the kind of things this choir does, I’m on board with that statement…

Enter The Adjustment Bureau. The slick sci-fi thriller is concerned very explicitly with the will of God on earth. Granted the Piper/Bell controversy is more concerned with the eternal fate of all humankind, and The Adjustment Bureau is about the more temporal fate, but the underlying question is the same…
