Fading like a Rose

5/5/2008 – 3:48 pm

This is a review, containing spoilers, for the Doctor Who episode “Partners in Crime,” which aired in the US about a week and a half ago (what can I say, I’m behind).

Unsinkable

4/23/2008 – 2:42 pm

Lacking my favorite literary-pretentious expositions of Doctor Who episodes since the end of Series Two, I have decided to try my hand. Thankfully, the US is only three weeks or so behind the UK this time around, although the Christmas special was nearly four months back.

Chillaxin’ is hard work

3/27/2008 – 2:11 am

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. But, dear reader, don’t you know? It’s a hard knock life for me. I mean, it’s just so doggone hard to lift a finger to type when you’re lying down on a folding beach chair, chillaxin’ and sipping martinis on a beautiful, sandy beach [...]

Sympathy for toasters

9/21/2006 – 3:28 pm

For those who do not know, all three of the authors on this blog are fans of the new Battlestar Galactica.
Unfortunately, we all became fans long after the series started. So we watched the miniseries and seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, and some of us watched season “2.5″ on iTunes, and some on [...]

Trading victory for a dare

8/1/2006 – 8:00 am

This weekend while the kids were at Grandma’s, we watched a foreign film. We don’t get to do this too often anymore, because the kids have no patience for subtitles, and we have no patience for explaining what’s going on, especially in these avant-garde days of filmmaking. This movie was one that I [...]

Facing the filmmaker

4/11/2006 – 4:20 pm

Apropos of my review of Facing the Giants, I would like to point out that one of the filmmakers has added a comment to it, which adds some needed balance to what I said.
It’s true, things rarely all work out for the follower of Christ while he is in this world. But it would [...]

Review: Facing the Giants

3/29/2006 – 8:00 am

Through work I got to see an early screening of a movie called Facing the Giants. My short review is, a biblically-founded believer will probably enjoy seeing a movie in which there is no sex, violence (outside of high school football, anyway), and so forth. This movie has a lot of potential and [...]

A review of Debating Calvinism

6/21/2005 – 4:14 pm

The book Debating Calvinism is basically a debate between two Christian gentlemen, James White and Dave Hunt, on the merits of Calvinism. It’s divided into two main sections—“Calvinism Affirmed” and “Calvinism Denied,” which are each in turn divided into seven subsections, for a total of 14 subsections (seven subsections within each of the two main [...]

A review of the NASB/NIV Parallel Bible

6/21/2005 – 4:13 pm

by Patrick Chan
Apart from actually learning Hebrew and Greek (and Aramaic, a derivative of Hebrew), or knowing other foreign languages, a careful student of the Bible limited to English alone might come to better understand the Scriptures of his or her God by using different translations. And it’s usually best not to use translations with [...]

20/20 presents the Spong Show

5/20/2005 – 11:17 pm

Just finished watching the 20/20 special on the Resurrection a few minutes ago. Many remember the specials ABC has done in the past, with Peter Jennings wisely explaining in his grandfatherly style how scholars have long discarded the idea that the Bible was true, and questioning the existence of Jesus and practically every fact [...]
