Can this flailing franchise transform into something worth watching?
The staff at Life Teen picked out some of their favorite things to share with you! Whether it’s a video or photo that’s inspiring, creative or just plain hilarious, or a song that’s stuck in someone’s head. You might even find a book recommendation or your new favorite quote – you never know.
A movie summed up by the first word in its title.
This superhero story can’t quite shine as bright as the other lights of summer blockbusters.
Does the powerhouse of Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams make “Super 8″ the best sci-fi movie for a generation?
X-Men: First Class is a reboot of the classic comic book series of films. Does this one live up to expectations?
More of an homage than a sequel… and oh yeah, movie reviews are back for the summer!
“Dear young people, you are under threat from the bad use of advertising techniques, which plays upon the natural tendency to avoid effort and promises the immediate satisfaction of every desire, while the consumerism that goes with it suggests that man should seek self-fulfillment especially in the enjoyment of material goods.” – John Paul II, March 31, 1984 Read More: Apostolic Letter Dilecti Amici Questions for Your Journal Do I think about “things” more than I think about God?

“It works for what it is, and if you’re at least neutral to Bieber Fever you’ll probably enjoy it.”
Never Say Never is rated G.
A complex conundrum that could be solved with some simple moral decision-making.
The Dilemma is rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving sexual content.
How a glitch in the system makes this review our most incomplete yet.
The Green Hornet is rated PG-13 for sequences of violent action, language, sensuality and drug content.
The Coens have put together a movie that’s able to meld gritty, honest realism with the morality of folklore.
True Grit is rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of western violence including disturbing images.
It’s that time of year again: when you either love or hate listening to the radio. That’s right, it’s Christmas song season, when all those secular and religious songs come blaring at you the day after Thanksgiving and end immediately after Christmas dinner.
I love all sorts of Christmas songs. Christian hymns, modern pop songs, choral hits. I don’t mind if a song wants to tell me about Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, or about angelic hosts heard on high; they both have their place among our enjoyment of the Advent and Christmas season. (During Mass, however, song selection is a totally different story.)
While most of us have heard of Christmas songs by Mariah Carey and Nat King Cole, I wanted to highlight a few songs by Christian artists that I think are excellent and worthy of your attention. Now sit back, grab a candy cane and some hot chocolate, and take a listen to some of my Christmas favorites.
Was 2010 a good year for music? There are bright spots for sure, like Bruno Mars’ “Just they Way You Are” or Kris Allen’s “Live Like You’re Dying.” But neither of those upbeat songs made the top ten on iTunes’s year end chart. So I listened to the top 10 songs this year on iTunes to discovered good, bad, and ugly.
Sci-Fi strikes back against fantasy with this long-awaited sequel.
TRON: Legacy is rated PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and brief mild language.
“Even when an entire book has been cut to a little over an hour and a half, there’s apparently still time to clearly spell out that back in England, Aslan is spelled J-E-S-U-S.”
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is rated PG for some frightening images and sequences of fantasy action.
This week, I turn the mic over to a special guest host to get a unique perspective on the new animated film ‘Tangled.’ (Here’s a hint: He likes the Bible.)
Tangled is rated PG for brief mild violence.
A thrilling battle of good versus evil that satisfies in every way except one…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality.
We don’t usually tackle documentaries here on the podcast, but one came up that I just couldn’t skip over. It’s called “Cool It,” and it explores the ideas of a guy named Bjorn Lomborg. Lomborg is a scientist and environmentalist who has some pretty controversial views on global warming and climate change, and what it will take for us to actually fix them.
This week’s movie is Megamind, where Will Ferrell puts on the cape of a super-smart megavillain who finally succeeds in defeating his heroic nemesis, Metro Man… and has to deal with the consequences of having no one to stop his bad-ness.
And guess what? It might be Dreamworks’ best movie yet.
