DAN, DAN THE MOVIEMAN: THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF 2019 OK, I promised this so I’m delivering it. Hate to be negative, but maybe my awful use of time can save you some time watching films that will only disappoint. But before I get to that list, a quick note on some new films that just recently hit theaters. 1917 – It’s great. Go see it. Bigger screen the better. Got some rough language, but incredible movie.

I recently read an article on PluggedIn.com that was an interview with Dean Batali, who works as a writer in Hollywood. Dean is a Christian and gets into some interesting answers on why the views of Christians and Christianity we see on TV aren’t what we’d consider correct. I’d encourage you to go read the article, “Faith, Film and … Dean Batali”, and then come back here and let me know what you thought.

Is the Christian life imitating art or is artRead More →

Some of you may be aware that one of my other b5media blogs is Idol Stalker where we cover all things about the current season of American Idol as well as past contestants and winners. Sadly, I was not aware that two of the contestants that have moved forward to Hollywood are worship pastors at their local churches. One participant, Chris Sligh, is a worship leader at Seacoast Church in Greenville, SC. The other contestant, Sean Michel, is a member of First Southern Baptist Church in Bryant, AR.
