The Fabelmans (2022): Art as Catharsis and Comfort, Illusion, Window and Mirror
With a deft touch, Stephen Spielberg’s autobiographically inspired film The Fabelmans (2022) shows us different functions that art can serve.
Dark Material: The Gospel of Philip Pullman
Next month, HBO will release its new adaptation of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” (HDM) fantasy books. This new series is a second bite at the cherry after the commercial failure of “The GoldenCompass” movie (2007). The trailer looks great. The series will most likely stir up similar controversy it did when it was published. And, for those reasons and others, it will probably be a hit—a daunting prospect because HDM, as Pullman wrote it, was, and remains, an unabashed piece of anti-Christian propaganda. It will probably be a hit, which is a daunting prospect because HDM, as Pullman wrote it,...
A Father’s Love in a Pixar World
Over almost two decades I have parented my children through the rise and reign of Pixar. Conceived in the mind of a creative genius, it thrived under the tutelage of industry greats who perceived in it a new era of story-telling; once it grew to prominence, it was greedily devoured by the giant named Disney.

On October 12, thousands of pro-life protestors in Melbourne will join the annual “March For the Babies” to oppose the same extreme laws that were passed in Victoria 11 years ago. And, as God’s timing would have it, in between these two dates, an independent pro-life film called Unplanned will be playing in cinemas across the country. Sadly, it will pass under the radar of most Australians, but it is a powerful and important film that I think every Christian should know...
My Year in Books and Television – Lauren Entwistle (Working Mum Edition!)
The current season of my life (toddler, work, Masters, house built in the sixties) is reflected in this list, which I am very conscious is television-heavy. The plus side of endless nights of me collapsing in front of the television instead of doing something more wholesome and productive, is that I have scoped out some good content for everyone else who may not have the time to test out new shows. TV: Patriot John Tavner’s work is really getting to him. With a dad for a boss, he’s having trouble putting boundaries in place and his work-life balance is seriously...
