The story opens with Robin Williams as high school English teacher Lance Clayton narrating his failures as a would-be professional writer. Despite seven novels and numerous articles, all of his work ha… Continue reading
…ral, I was also invited to Focus on The Family’s Youth Summit in 1999 for Entertainment leaders where I was able to share clips from my film.

Recently, the writer/director of this movie made some very caustic, ad hominem attacks against one of Movieguide®’s friends, who wrote a couple articles lamenting that fewer people teach the orthodox doctrine of Hell anymore. He does none of that here, because it’s harder to get away with such boorish behavior when you’re being photographed. However, anyone who take… Continue reading
By Evy Baehr, associate editor of MOVIEGUIDE® The “Gangnam Style” video has now reached 1 billion hits. How is that possible?
