| Title | Doubt |
| Film Director | John Patrick Shanley |
Over the years, Hollywood has managed to condition the viewer with particular movie-going expectations. We expect to be entertained. We expect a good story. And we expect that story to have resolution. In the Oscar-nominated film Doubt, writer/director John Patrick Shanley goes against this notion of a nicely wrapped Hollywood...

| Title | Man On Wire |
| Film Director | James Marsh |
James Marsh's documentary Man On Wire is captivating on many fronts. The film tells the story of the French, high-wire-walker, Philippe Petit's illegal performance between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974.
First, there is the Ocean's 11-like scheming, planning and executing of the long planned performance. Or,...

| Title | Adam |
| Film Director | Max Mayer |
I love moments in films. The bus scene in Almost Famous. John Cusack holding up the boombox. Falling Slowly being played in the back of a music store. While they don't tell the whole stories they are a part of, they serve as the icons by which we remember them.

| Title | The Wrestler |
| Film Director | Darren Aronofsky |
In a world where to run for office or interview for a job or find a mate seems to mean "putting our best foot forward," (which is really just a sugarcoated way of telling us to hide our faults and brokenness, right?) it can seem that to be fully known...

| Title | Slumdog Millionaire |
| Film Director | Danny Boyle |
Slumdog Millionaire, a story with the power to move an audience, has received nearly unanimous praise from critics, perhaps because of its ingeniously structured plot or Director Danny Boyle's deft telling of the story. Reviewers acknowledge its simplicity with astonishment, as if they are surprised that such a conventional story,...

When we began discussing what films stood out under the umbrella of "wonder" this year, numerous films came to the table.

| Title | Happy Go Lucky |
| Film Director | Mike Leigh |
In 1960 Disney Studios adapted a well-known children's novel by Eleanor H. Porter into a film by the same name: Pollyanna. The character, a young orphan girl who finds the good in every situation, no matter how dire, became cultural shorthand for naive optimism. Calling someone a Pollyanna is less...

| Title | The Dark Knight |
| Film Director | Christopher Nolan |
With The Dark Knight's claims to box-office pre-eminence secured, the spin cycle begins. What does this hugely popular, amazingly resonate movie mean? What is the message amidst all the madness cruising through Gotham's streets? At HollywoodJesus.com, The Joker is associated with postmodernism and all things relative, making Batman the force...
