When Toy Story hit the big screens in 1995, it wasn’t just another animated movie. It was a phenomenon, a revolution in storytelling, and a dazzling leap forward in animation technology. It felt new and magical, yes, but also deeply comforting in its universal themes. And as Christians, there’s even more to glean from this…
If there’s a single word that comes to mind when reflecting on the One Hundred Years of Solitude TV adaptation, it’s “ambitious.” Adapting Gabriel García Márquez’s magnum opus is not for the faint of heart. Márquez himself thought it couldn’t—and probably shouldn’t—be done. His novel doesn’t just tell a story; it creates an entire world,…
Some shows make you think, some make you laugh, and a rare few manage to wrap you in a blanket of joy. Schmigadoon! belongs to that last category, but it doesn’t stop there. For Christians, it also offers a quiet undercurrent of redemption, love, and grace that’s worth unpacking. It’s not a “Christian” show in…
Tim Miller’s Secret Level is one of those shows that feels like it should be groundbreaking but ends up being, well, complicated. On paper, it’s got everything going for it: an anthology series drawing on the rich worlds of gaming, a visually ambitious approach, and the creative freedom to explore new narratives. But instead of…
Ah, Fraggle Rock. For many of us, just hearing that name is enough to conjure the theme song and its invitation to “dance your cares away.” It’s the kind of warm memory that feels like a hug from your childhood, comforting and familiar. But nostalgia can be tricky, can’t it? It tempts you with the…
The holidays bring with them a nostalgic rush, don’t they? Twinkling lights, chilly nights, and—of course—an endless parade of Christmas movies. And while the world hardly seems short on adaptations of A Christmas Carol, along comes Spirited—a movie that dares to shake things up. Yes, it’s another Dickens-inspired tale, but this one comes with a…
When Creature Commandos hit the scene, I wasn’t exactly expecting a faith-filled journey into DC’s animated realm. James Gunn, the mastermind behind this oddball project, isn’t known for delivering Sunday school lessons—he’s all about chaos, humor, and characters so bizarre you’d question their origins even in a comic book. But like any piece of media,…
The End isn’t the kind of movie you watch lightly. It sneaks up on you, gets under your skin, and demands you wrestle with it long after the credits roll. Joshua Oppenheimer, a director known for tackling the unspoken, doesn’t just invite you into a story—he traps you inside it, giving you no choice but…
Stephen King’s Storm of the Century is a saga of darkness, humanity, and the aching pull of moral dilemmas—a riveting television miniseries that grabs you by the throat and demands your attention. With his uncanny ability to craft characters that feel unnervingly real, King tells a story that plunges deep into the psyche, dredging up…
It’s no exaggeration to call Sesame Street a cornerstone of American childhood. For decades, it’s been the neighborhood every child wanted to visit, where the values of love, community, and education were wrapped up in bright puppets and catchy songs. Now, with a shorter runtime and a new home on HBO, you might wonder if…
