The Problem with the Prosperity Gospelnew
Karen Spears Zacharias' latest book, Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide? ('Cause I need more room for my plasma TV), is chock full of stories, beautifully written thumbnail sketches of lives lost and found. These tales are framed by a critique of the all-too-modern, all-too-American idea of the prosperity gospel.

The Dread Zone: It's the Only Thing We Have to Fearnew
Despite years of religious instruction by well-meaning priests, nuns, and lay ministers, as well as my own family, on that dark night of the soul long ago, it occurred to me that as nice a story as that made, it was a bit far-fetched. I realized that not only was death absolutely real and directly applicable to me, but that death most probably meant, well, death. As in lights out. Game over. It meant you no longer were.

Brainy and Brutal: 'Tell No One' is Classic Noirnew
The film, like the book before, is a thrill ride. The protagonist, knowing himself to be innocent, is nonetheless pursued by police.

The Grand Budapest Hotel may not be Wes Anderson at his deepestnew
As fascinating — and maddening — as it can be watching the arguments that emerge between the fans and detractors of any given filmmaker, it can be almost more fascinating watching fans argue amongst themselves.

The best of Sundance 2014 didn't take their subjects too seriouslynew
For 11 days in Utah's mountains in January, not a flake of precipitation fell on the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. And the cheery blue skies could not possibly have been a better match for the mood of the festival's best films.

Twelve Years a Slave tells the story of one man's abduction into slaverynew
Uncomfortable as it may be, McQueen skips the history lesson and achieves a visceral experience that will surely be known as the definitive moral rendering of an era that should only be recalled with remorse and shame.
