Would you consider this a pro-creationist dinosaur game?

Churches would love all youth to see Soul Surfer
Not just because Bethany Hamilton’s story of triumph over adversity is admirable, but because the makers of the film (and her parents themselves) made sure the audience would know just how wonderfully Christian she is, thus should use the movie … Continue reading

Saw “Let Me In” yesterday
I wrote a little about the movie that inspired it when it came out last year. I think this new English version is an adequate remake but it fell apart for me every time they resorted to very shitty CG … Continue reading
