Are Evangelicals Suffering From Buyer’s Remorse with Obama?

By Bill Berkowitz

…Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, recently wrote. After re-branding itself “Xe” (pronounced like the letter “Z”), hoping to deflecting the public’s attention from the company’s countless killings in Iraq, it recently announced that Eric Prince (a former Navy SEAL who founded the firm in 1997) is stepping down in order to concentrate on other business opportunities. According to Scahill, Prince “sought to cast his departure as a na…

2012 Film Heralds Progressive Utopia, No Effort Required

By Jessica Weisberg

…s to avoid its real subject: the man who was, somehow, enabled to make it. Why, exactly, does Pinchbeck believe “many” people may not survive the transition to utopia and, even more interestingly, why does he seem to wish this to be true? End-of-the-world predictions have always been motivated by something, whether nihilism, idealism, or power, and there are ethical—and even political—roots of the 2012 movement that don’t appear in this film. A do…

Christian Charity Meets Its Match: If You Missed “The Overnighters,” Here’s Why You Should See It Now

By Beatrice Marovich

…ething along the order of spiritual crisis as well. To be fair, this church-as-lens perspective seems mostly to have emerged as a matter of convenience. Jay Reinke had opened up his church to itinerants moving through the town of Williston, looking for work and drawn by the lure of oil. Jesse Moss, the filmmaker, was himself one of those itinerants in a sense: he was an outsider who’d been drawn toward a good story, gleaming at the surface of the…

Kazakhstan: Amnesty International urging president to reject Russian-style anti-gay law Amnesty International has called on President Nursultan Nazarbayev to reject a Russian-style “Law on the Protection of Children from Information Harming their Health and Development.” From AI: With its large ethnic Russian population dating to its history as a Soviet republic and as a core member of the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union, Kazakhstan’s po…

Huckabee Teams Up with Citizens United to Promote Fetal Personhood

By Sarah Posner

…of Planned Parenthood’s budget, and that abortion is “certainly not a money-maker. At best, it’s a break-even.” Regarding fetal pain, the film discusses at great length a notorious 1999 picture taken by the photographer Michael Clancy which Clancy maintains shows a fetus, at 21 weeks of gestation, reaching out of the womb to grasp the finger of a surgeon performing an experimental surgery to repair spinal bifida. The photograph, Clancy says, has b…

The Best the Largest Progressive Jewish Org Could Come Up With?

By Jay Michaelson

…folks with drinks, but their lips stayed sealed. (I did find out that the org would have an action-verb in it, as is the fashion these days, but that’s all.) That being said, I’m not a big fan of the new name. Aside from “Arc” sounding like “Ark,” there’s no Jewish trace in it, and the point of the organization, I thought, was to contribute something specifically Jewish to the American progressive religious scene, the American social justice move…

Religious Belief Or Mental Illness?

By Jay Michaelson

…At least under normal circumstances, mine is not a world of dinosaurs, ring-bearers, or talking animals. Films where characters turn out to be dead, or dreaming, or in the Matrix, thus, are distinct from ordinary life. Take Shelter, though, isn’t. Right before seeing the film, I read an article noting that there were more exorcisms in America last year than in any other year on record. What, really, is the dividing line between religious belief an…

Indonesian Volcano Update: Yes, it’s a Religion Story…

By Mark Woodward

…eligion, which are often divisive, simply did not matter. Nasi bungkus and bottled water were non-sectarian. There was remarkably little grandstanding or publicity seeking. These were days of what anthropologist Victor Turner called “spontaneous communitas” — people relating to each other not on the basis of social roles but simply on the basis of their common humanity. Those who could reached out to help those in need in every way possible. There…

The Way of the Brother: How Critics Missed the Boat on Tree of Life

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…plausible. In fact, many of Malick’s films—in terms of cinematography, mise-en-scene, soundtrack, and editing—have much more in common with Korean Buddhist-themed films than they do with anything produced by his compatriots in Hollywood. I’m thinking here of Why has the Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East? (Yong-Kyun Bae, 1989), Passage to Buddha (Sun-Woo Jang, 1994), and Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, … and Spring (Ki-Duk Kim, 2003), a list that coul…

Seeking Broad Appeal to US Christians, ‘God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism’ Glosses Over Critical Context

By Chrissy Stroop

…the old evangelical “WWJD” fad in promotional materials—thanks for the not-at-all annoying reminder that I wore those cringe cloth bracelets in the 1990s, my dudes—I hoped the film itself would focus less on efforts to “save” Christianity and more on the very real threat to our democracy from authoritarian Christians. Unfortunately, the WWJD invocation was a tell. At the end of the day, God & Country is more concerned with laundering the reputati…
