Wed Jan 4, 2012 10:23 PM EST
DVD review: "Warrior." Lionsgate Films. 139 minutes. Rated PG-13. Using physical conflict as a symbol of inner battles is as old as the Bible, which says the patriarch Jacob wrestled an angel.

A window into Mormon minds
Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:35 PM EDT

The old college try
Thu Aug 25, 2011 10:41 PM EDT
MOVIE REVIEW: The 5th Quarter. PG-13. OK, I don't want to seem like the bad guy who disses a good-hearted movie. The 5th Quarter is a case study in teamwork and courage in college football. It's an inspirational story of a family overcoming grief, of good coming out of tragedy.

DVD review: 'The Lion of Judah'
Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:10 AM EDT
DVD review: 'The Lion of Judah.' AMG Films. 87 minutes. Beyond "children's animation," The Lion of Judah is hard to categorize. I wanted to like it for the eloquence it eventually shows, and the rather clever allegorization of the gospel.
