Madden 10
Broncopalooza: Game 10
Must Win, Can't Win

Denver has to win this week, but our Madden 10 sim says they just don’t have it in them.

John Mayer
Battle Studies
His music overshadows the drama

John Mayer returns from the battlefield of love having lost Jennifer Aniston, but having gained some perspective, and his music is better for it.

Top Films of the 200x’s
Darrel's Dozens of the Decade
OK, This Is Really Impossible, but Here I Go

When looking back over a decade it is almost impossible to even get a grip on the project. I made a list over 40 films without even thinking hard. All deserve to be listed, but I’ll settle for a dozen narrative films and a dozen documentaries.

Zombieland
“Time to nut up or shut up.”
We’re all looking for a home where we can feel safe

Horror and humor are a delicate balance, with one of the best examples being the Evil Dead movies. But Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have written for Spike and MTV and get by nicely with snarky banter and self-referential pop cultural allusions.

The Blind Side
Want Something to Cheer About?
No Norman Rockwell Paintings Here

A lot can go wrong when a movie is based upon a true story. The writer or director may take too many liberties to get something out of the movie that isn’t there, or for artistic sake. But this is not the case with The Blind Side.

The Hobbit
Great Source for Tolkien Knowledge
College professor offers free classes on Tolkien

“Would you like to explore J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic stories in greater depth, under the guidance of a dedicated college professor who loves Tolkien as much as you do?”

The Blind Side
Parts of a Whole
Individuality, identity, and family

Many people think of Christians as lemmings. If I convert, they might think, I will cease to have a mind of my own. I will become a mindless speck in the sea of waving arms on a TBN worship service broadcast. Jesus set a precedent that defied such thinking.

The Blind Side
Who's Got Your Back?
Protection from the danger we can't see

It has almost become a cliché in our day and age to say, “Do the Christian thing,” or “What would Jesus do?” But great things happen when we reach out to one another, love our neighbors as we would love ourselves, and meet needs.

The Blind Side
Protective Instinct
An Inheritance of Riches

Having no worthiness of his own, Michael is adopted into a family of great wealth and given an inheritance of riches beyond his wildest dreams. The life of Michael Oher illustrates a bigger picture of God’s grace upon all that are His. We are all Michael Oher.

The Blind Side
Welcoming the Stranger
Christianity Acted Out by a Loving Family

Based on the true story of Michael Oher, now a rookie offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. But don’t think that this is a football movie. The game is only the setting for a story about what it means to be family… about Christians being Christian.
