Darrel's Dozen for the Millennium's First Decade
It’s hard enough to put together a top-films list for a year. When looking back over a decade it is almost impossible to even get a grip on the project. I made a list over 40 films without even thinking hard. All deserve to be listed, but I’ll settle for a dozen narrative films...

2012 (2009)
It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Mike Furches, 11/13/2009

We have enough interesting characters and story lines to make the film worthwhile. In what is likely the largest casualty count in any movie in recent years, we still see the potential of hope, and the potential to be better people.

Blind Side, The (2009)
Who's Got Your Back?

Jeremy Zondlo, 11/20/2009

It has almost become a clichè in our day and age to say, "Do the Christian thing," or "What would Jesus do?" But great things happen when we reach out to one another, love our neighbors as we would love ourselves, and meet needs.

Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009)
Uncompromising

Maurice Broaddus, 11/06/2009

Precious has bought in to so many lies about herself, she doesn't realize her true beauty, a thing all too often determined from the outside. She finds herself asking "Do you see beauty in me? Am I worth another glance?"

Twilight Saga: New Moon, The (2009)
When Monsters Love

Elisabeth Leitch, 11/20/2009

As Bella demonstrates in her relationships with both Edward and Jacob, the fact that the two men in her life definitely
have a bit of a dark side does not matter when it comes to her love. And so is true of God's love for us.

Ally McBeal
The Complete Series

Maurice Broaddus, 11/17/2009

Now on DVD. Ally McBeal redefined a lot of things (besides fashion, such as "Ally McBeal short" skirts). It fit neither the mold of the hour-long drama nor of the half-hour sitcom, thus paving the way for shows like Hou...

Nip/Tuck
Season 5, Part 2

Maurice Broaddus, 11/17/2009

Now on DVD. The storylines and surgeries only continue to get stranger as the characters have all but been exhausted. But despite the show's multitude of flaws, it has just enough left in its tank to limp to its finish line.

Has the Apocalypse Already Happened?

Jeff Walls, 11/13/2009

It's when the thief is confronted by the father and son characters central to the story that the movie's message of hope comes full circle. While the father is content to leave the thief to die, the boy makes a stand. It's a work of fiction... isn't it?
