By
John W. Kennedy
Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture. Faith at the movies. The Song and Believe Me are two faith-themed movies that couldn’t be more different in terms of tone — suggesting a diversity and maturing of the overall genre that is healthy.

See first 15 minutes of underrated film “The Identical” here
By
John W. Kennedy
Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture. See for yourself. The Identical opened last week to, frankly, very disappointing box office numbers — disappointing to me because, as I said in my review, The Identical is a Highly Recommended and quite original piece of faith-friendly filmmaking in which Ray Liotta and…
