tattoos and piercings
I know this may come off as a rant, but I needed to vent. It seems that I am one of the few people left in America under 40 who doesn’t have a tattoo or piercing! It’s sad to see how prevalent this is among Christians. It is an extremely widespread practice and is nearly…

Sniper Elite
Sniper Elite is one of my all time favorite games. It was released in 2005 and although some of the graphics are a bit dated, the gameplay is still fantastic. I played single player mode, but recently I hooked up with the IDS clan and plan on playing some multiplayer games with them thanks to…

Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
Manos: The Film of Crap This was by far the worst movie I haver ever watched. Conservatively I’ve seen at least 20,000 movies so this is no small feat for ‘Manos’! The acting was so atrocious any second-rate high school production could put this film’s ensemble cast to shame. I’ve seen more genuine emotion and…

Carne trémula (1997)
I am wondering about how this film portrayed fidelity, or specifically the lack thereof! It gives the impression women in Spain will casually cheat on their husband if they feel like it. Elena did not seem to care how much it would hurt her husband and she tells him of her infidelity in a detached…

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
This film was a good thriller and morality play until the ending ruined it! A shame since it had a lot going for it, albeit Jamie Fox’s acting was not very good (he has to be the most overrated A list actor in Hollywood!). However, the ending was so idiotic and contrived it almost ruined…

Bear (2010)
I’m surprised it is averaging a rating of 4 stars on IMDB! For an ostensible thriller there was little genuine suspense or even horror. The acting was plodding and lacked any real depth or nuance. Character development was kept a bare minimum. A pair of brothers and their significant others are in a car on…

A shameless culture
It was not that long ago that for a child to be born out of wedlock was a deeply shameful thing. That is no longer the case. Now as sexual immorality is rampant we see many children born as bastards out of wedlock. Culturally there is no longer any stigma or shame associated with these…
