posted by Joel Taylor
CNN host Jake Tapper’s interview with the subject of the Mark Wahlberg film Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell, became tense on Friday when the veteran of Operation Red Wings apparently took offense at Tapper’s suggestion that the botched mission was a mistake. Luttrell defended his fellow veterans who lost their lives in that operation and asked […]
Murph, the Protector: The True Story of Navy Seal Lt. Michael P. Murphy

Think about this guy before you applaud some famous actor or actress for a performance. This is a performance. The difference here is that it is real life, not scripted by self-serving screenwriters from the dung heap we know as Hollywood.
Obama: Taking America Down
posted by Joel Taylor
The film, ‘2016’ was released the summer of 2012 and asked a basic question: What might America be like in 2016 if Barack Obama were re-elected to a second term? In the film, many predictions were made regarding Obama’s presidency. None were positive. Now, looking back since the film’s release, Dinesh D’Souza reviews those predictions, […]
And Noah Had An Aussie Accent
posted by Joel Taylor
This should be interesting. Darren Aronofsky’s epic film, Noah, starring Russell Crowe (as Noah), Jennifer Connelly as Noah’s wife, Naameh and Anthony [“hsssst”] Hopkins as Methuselah, as well as Emma Watson and Ray Winstone as the bad guy who wants to stop Noah. The bad guy dies in the end. Sorry, I’ve read the book. […]

posted by Joel Taylor
GMO director and concerned father Jeremy Seifert is in search of answers. How do GMOs affect our children, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice? And perhaps the ultimate question, which Seifert tests himself: is it even possible to reject the food system currently in place, or have we lost something we […]

Film: Molon Labe
posted by Joel Taylor
“History has demonstrated time and again that, to the degree citizens are unarmed, government suppression and tyranny are inevitable. The Founders of the United States knew these lessons well. This is why the U.S. Constitution not only grants American citizens the "right to keep and bear arms" — but the DUTY to be well-organized as […]
Lincoln, the Movie
posted by Joel Taylor
Well, Stephen Spielberg has done it again, no doubt. This film on Lincoln has all the promise of a blockbuster hit this coming November. Even if it’s a huge, big fat lie from the Lincoln cult celebrated not only in Hollywood, but within academia and in the general public (educated by ignorant public educators). It’s […]
When Life Seems to Fall Apart
posted by Joel Taylor
We’ve all been there at some point. Everything is going along just fine, and then…it happens. It’s a moment that will stay with you for some time, maybe years, perhaps for the rest of your life. Whatever ‘that moment’ was in our lives, we were tested, and through it all, hopefully, we learned to persevere […]

The story of Mississippi’s Taylor Grocery, and proprietors Lynn and Debbie Hewlett. It’s hailed as the South’s best catfish joint and it has a brown bag policy. Diners don’t mind waiting on the front porch for a table, sometimes for hours.

Movie Recommendation: Peter And Paul
posted by Joel Taylor
Although the epic television series of 1981 may be aged, it has aged well, and the biblical narrative of course, is timeless. Peter and Paul, winner of two Emmy Awards, is one of those films we pull out of the cabinet on occasion and still enjoy – very much. Anthony Hopkins and Robert Foxworth portray […]
