Film in revuew: “Buck”

“Buck” is a documentary about Buck Brannaman, the real “Horse
Whisperer,” endorsed by Robert Redford himself. Buck is a sixtysomething
cowboy who has been hanging around corrals and barns all his life, who
does indeed have a remarkable way with horses.

Film in review: “Larry Crowne”

“Larry Crowne” is a movie that “Can’t Miss.” First, it’s Tom Hanks, who’s
practically incapable of making a bad movie. He’s this generation’s Jimmy
Stewart, the Everyman whom everybody roots for and has affection for, and
we love him so much that we’ll even allow him his occasional moments
where he’s less than glamorous. Somehow that only adds to his universal
appeal.

2011- Big Tent: Breaking the ‘cradle to prison pipeline’

INDIANAPOLIS – African-American Presbyterians must help create a “mass movement” to overcome what Marian Wright Edelman calls the “cradle to prison pipeline” that has decimated black communities in America, a leading educator told the National Black Presbyterian Caucus (NBPC) today (June 30) at its 41st annual convention here.

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), presumably allowing gays and lesbians to
become pastors, elders and deacons in gay-affirming congregations.

Film in review: “Beautiful Boy”

Wow, this one will put you through the wringer. Especially if you are a parent, and tried to raise a child, and realized full well that the “product” which emerges is its own person, over which you have painfully limited influence.

Film in review: “Green Lantern”

First, a disclaimer: this is a comic book hero that I loved as a kid. Maybe because he’s human, he has to use his imagination, and he’s part of a greater good. Plus, that requirement of having to recharge the ring every day gives rise to all manner of good analogies. (Fill in your own similes here.)
