Avatar Review
The complaints I’ve heard about this film are no doubt humorous, cleverly memorable and in some instances inviting — “Itsa Smurfs-battle-romance-to-save-Ferngully epic,” “Think Dances with Wolves but in Outer Space,” “James Cameron’s alleged big dick didn’t save him in Titanic…why would it save him amongst blue tiger people?,” “Hype killed it all,” “This film has generated more eyeball sex...

Even though the non-conformist cannot escape the paradox.

What is man? The offspring of God…what is his final destiny? To be like God. What has God been? Like man… How many Gods are there? There are Lords many, and gods many: but to us there is but one God.

For traditional Christianity, the doctrine of theosis—also known as deification,...
Reasons Why I Never Joined Facebook

The comment was nothing less than an overtly pretentious, bad-witted outline that...

summary: That “magic” we ascribe to film is real though perhaps not tangible. It is meaningful only to the extent that that we make it meaningful. We might choose to disbelieve in certain realities/truths depicted onscreen simply because they have no existential reference to the external world. Truth, however, is not merely a rolodex of cold facts, but also gains its meaning in relation to the...

(Sergei Eisenstein)
Lenin’s declaration that “The cinema is for us the most important of the arts” was a precursory dictum to the rise of Soviet cinema that carried profound political implications on how the motion-picture medium could unify a large, discordant nation (Taubman 51). Soviets during the early twentieth century viewed film as an extremely powerful, propagandist tool through which...
