“Land” Serves as a Cutting Commentary On Grief
by Kathryn McDonald
“Grieving woman moves somewhere new to make a fresh start and escape her somewhat haunting and tragic past.” It’s a story that will doubtless be familiar to audiences; however, in her directorial debut “Land,” director Robin Wright takes this familiar tale and turns it into a timeless masterpiece.
In addition to directing, Wright stars as Edee, a troubled woman who decides that she has had enough of people telling her that she will eventually heal from the ...

“When you say, ‘Like we are’ ...
Season Finale Is A Mixed Bag of Satisfaction and Disappointment
by Sam Acosta
The finale for “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” is finally here, and it does some things well while butchering others. While I didn’t feel completely let down by the ending of this series, everything is so rushed that some of the story beats end up feeling unresolved.

The assistant volleyball coach came to know the Lord through the program.
by Abigail Hintz
Callie Murphy grew up going to church. She also grew up playing volleyball. And those were two separate things. No matter what.
