Guest post By Scott Bayles, founder and leader of Costumers for Christ. As I gear up for the re-release of Avenger’s Endgame (and my third time seeing the movie), I’ve had time to reflect on what I liked and disliked about it. Let’s be honest, there wasn’t much to dislike. I love so much of …
Today I went for my second viewing of Godzilla:King of Monsters. It was very much worth supporting such a great film. I know some critics have complained, but I thoroughly enjoyed both viewings. I found the main characters interesting and the monsters scary but also fun. There were many call backs to classic Godzilla films. …
Jafax 2019 was a great time. For the first time I had a booth there and I partnered with Paul Nowak, author of The Way of the Christian Samurai, and Bex from the Redeemed Otaku podcast. Normally I just get author tables but since there was three of us to share the cost we wanted …

Last fall my Mom and I watched the NeverEnding Story for the first time in years. I probably had not watched it since high school or even middle school (and I’m in my 30s now). This film from 1984 is filled with fantastic creatures, twists, and a significant theme: sorrow. This theme comes out in …
When I saw The Amazing Spiderman 2 I got my money’s worth. The movie spoke to me emotionally, spiritually and entertainingly. There were several poignant moments/thoughts [spoilers]: The moment when the bullies are chasing the one science kid (Jorge) and pushing him around. Spiderman, the guy who fights crime and stops terrorist events, comes to …
