The Battle for Los Angeles

March 21, 2011 Culture

The talented Aaron Eckhart and his cleft chin lead a handful of brave [...]

Christian Libertarianism

April 29, 2010 politics

Over at our much beloved Big Hollywood last week, filmmaker Leigh Scott had some thoughtful and entertaining comments on Kick-Ass, a movie he liked and which I haven’t seen.  He says it’s a libertarian film and, as a side note, goes on to discuss what he feels are the differences between libertarian conservatives and Christian [...]
