- Best Bet: Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
You can call this week the Summer doldrums. Unless you are a sex-crazed 40-year-old near menopausal woman or if you think people with bags over their heads are scary. The movie adaptation of the hit HBO series Sex and the City, and the all too cliche, alone in the woods, people are trying to kill [...]
- Science Fiction and Faith
I’m in a really cool class at Southern right now on Christianity and Science Fiction. Yeah, I know, your Cooperative Program dollars hard at work. But it has actually been fabulous and very compelling. For our final project we have been charged with the task of answering two crucial questions.
What is a biblical and theological [...]
- Did You Feel The Earthquake?
The U.S. Geologic Survey is reporting that a 5.4 magnitude earthquake struck the region this morning.
The quake was centered 5 miles NNE of Bellmont, IL or 38 miles NNW of Evansville, IN.
In Louisville people were shaken out of bed at about 5:40 a.m. and shaking was felt in the Highlands, Eastern Jefferson County, Oldham [...]
- Expelled: Overview
I was was very impressed with, Expelled, the new documentary by Ben Stein on the debate between Darwinian Evolution and Intelligent Design. The quality and humor of the film reminded me of a Michael Moore Documentary, except instead of only presenting one side of the argument, Stein gave equal time for the opposing group to [...]
- Expelled Preview Screening
If the posters popping up around campus are to be believed, there will be a preview screening at Southern of the new Ben Stein documentary on intelligent design, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” on April 1st. I had trouble believing it at first, It sounds like a cruel prank that Dr. Moore might play on his [...]
- Lying Babies
Scientists now recognize that babies as young as six months are capable of the “difficult art of lying.” Difficult? Seemed obvious to me, guess these scientists weren’t parents.
- Sanctity of Human Life
Yesterday in my church we observed Sanctity of Life Sunday and while the large focus was upon the atrocity of abortion we also looked at embryonic stem cell research. But as I thought about it the sanctity of life covers so many issues. When we realize that every person is created in the image and [...]
- A New Threat To Airline Safety
I have a feeling this story will be added to someone’s most embarrassing list. An American Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Nashville after some of the passengers reported the smell of sulfur. It turns out a female passenger was trying to hide the evidence of her flatulence.
Now it seems [...]
- On Being Scared
As Halloween draws closer and colorful superheroes line the aisles of stores with ghouls and goblins, and trailers for horror movies light up our television screens with eerie and gruesome images, the question comes to my mind: Why do people, as a whole, like being scared?
Now, I grant you, not everybody likes to be scared. [...]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segal was funny, I could have lived my life without seeing his junk though. Russell Brand took the show though, he was hilarious, great timing. But overall the movie was a disappointment. I'd been expecting Knocked Up 2 but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the Bond movies. I like the Sean Connery era, But Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were too clean cut and high brow for me. Daniel Craig plays a more sadistic and heartless Bond. And the Poker game is fantastic, riveting.

McClane is back! I liked Justin Long as the sidekick. Not the best of the series, but at least it's better than #2.

I love Iron Man. It's intelligent, exciting, and funny. Plus fanboys (like me) love it for all the Marvel world references.
