In a time of profound political, civil, and spiritual turmoil, Reverend David Hill grapples with the crucial question: Does God still have a place in politics?

There's a divinity that shapes our ends, and then there's this, the story of a contest between Set and Horus for mastery of the world. Because hey, the Clash of the Titans remake did okay enough for a sequel. Directed by Alex Proyas.
Pause a moment before forming the impression that fisting a barnyard animal is a gateway act for the indiscriminate sodomy that opens the film, because this relationship drama actually goes somewhere. Johnny (Josh O'Connor) is gay, except when you try to kiss him on the lips. No wonder the young …
A neatly nasty cautionary tale about the dangers faced by the artist when he undertakes to speak for the common man. Richard Jenkins (Killing Them Softly) is spot-on as an old-school, Studs-Terkel style newspaper columnist drunk on the notion that his city is universally grateful to be immortalized in fishwrap. …

Godzilla! I was hoping I'd never hear that name again, laments one of the cast of characters, in apparent innocence of the creature's frequent return visits in the company of Megalon, the Thing, the Smog Monsters, among others. The creature looks in better shape here than in some of those …
The first made-in-Japan monster movie in general release in the U.S. since Godzilla 1985, complete with bad English dubbing and a barrel of laughable lines: "Quit your bitchin'." "I guarantee it'll go through Godzilla like crap through a goose." "He's coming. Get going." "Did you see that flying rock go …
