We spend a lot of time consuming "entertainment" in all of its forms. But whether it's movies, television, video games, music, sports, or even literature, these things do more than just offer an escape from our world for the sake of pleasure. When done right, they offer a window into a deeper experience of our own world and a connection to a transcendent world in our midst.

Kung Fu Hustle: The spoof you didn't know you needed: Kung Fu movies are often deeply serious, detailing an epic journey of a hero to protect a people or avenge lost honor.

The Chosen: as good as it gets?: The Chosen is a hit show unlike any other. For one, it's about Jesus. Two, it's actually done well. Three, and maybe best of all, it's entirely free to watch on YouTube. It's not without its flaws, but Fr. Tito and Fr. Casey approve. by Everyday Liminality

Independence Day: A two day mission of hope: Independence Day isn't just one of the most iconic action movie of the 90s. It's also a story with well-developed characters and excellent pacing.
