The Sowell of black America
Thomas Sowell is a hero to many Christian conservatives for his frank, well-researched, and contrarian studies of the socio-economic conditions of black Americans. But how many of those Christians know that Sowell is an atheist? Does it matter? Perhaps more than you’d think. Read More… “Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” —Augustine Thomas Sowell is a towering...
The Founders’ Constitution and its discontents
Adrian Vermeule’s Common Good Constitutionalism represents his version of the left’s “living Constitution.” Few people will embrace his self-serving theory, which is tailor-made to modate both his beloved administrative state and integralist moral philosophy—a bination. Read More… The term “constitutional law” is in large part a misnomer. This is rarely discussed within the guild of the legal profession and heretical in the increasingly woke precincts of the legal academy, where the field of “constitutional theory” is a cottage industry. The...
HBO’s Tokyo Vice thinks Japan is really just the worst of America
Will the woke police rate this series as a racist example of “white saviour” syndrome? At least the Japanese stars manage to shine in this boring and self-indulgent liberal fantasy. Read More… One of the most stylish of American directors, Michael Mann, who made Heat and The Insider (earning three Oscar nominations), is now producing the HBO series Tokyo Vice and has directed its disappointing first episode. I watched Tokyo Vice hoping Mann could make something of our unwatchable TV,...
John Calvin and God’s civil government
The separation of church and state is a given in the American creed. But one of the most influential figures in Protestant Christianity, hence American Christianity, had a more nuanced view of the interplay of the “two kingdoms.” Is this the true source of our ongoing culture wars? Read More… John Calvin (1509–1564) was a towering figure of the Protestant Reformation. The author of the magisterial Institutes of the Christian Religion, published in numerous editions between 1536 and 1559, Calvin...
Waiting for a miracle in the noir classic Laura
Man does not live by bread alone—there is something in us that does not die. Call it love. And a love of justice, even for the stranger e to love. Read More… I will close this series on film noir with Laura, because it’s altogether more beautiful and it has something of a happy ending. In being the most beautiful noir, it also involves the most sophisticated reflection on beauty in its relation to American society and to tragedy. It...
Michael Bay’s Ambulance is DOA
The action and thrills-a-minute director of such blockbusters as Bad Boys, The Rock, and Armageddon abandons his dedication to the heroic, albeit violent, protagonist and succumbs to a popular moralism that makes his latest all too predictable. Read More… Film critics recently have been trying to encourage their audiences to return to theaters—cinema, after all, is a lot more impressive on a big screen and in pany of people who share our emotions. We want to laugh together and to...
Hollywood’s craven surrender to the Chinese Communist government
The film industry likes to think of itself as the champion of civil rights, but when es to the genocidal Communist regime in China, it has proved to be not pliant but eager to please. Read More… Who’s in charge in Hollywood? Surely studio bosses, pensated executives, A-list actors, and celebrated writers and directors set the agenda in the American entertainment industry, don’t they? Not so fast, says Wall Street Jour­­nal reporter Erich Schwartzel in a rigorously researched, admirably hard-hitting...
Soylent Green takes place in 2022, which is nice
Is this sci-fi classic starring Charlton Heston a prophetic look at our day or a despairing look at the filmmakers’ own? Read More… According to an old monplace, nothing can beat the plot of a good sci-fi film when es to predicting the future. Many of the promotional taglines that pany these features assure us that, should we invest in a ticket, we’ll be “entertained” and “educated,” or even “enlightened,” by a product that “presciently signifies the all-but-inescapable fate of...
How will Christians fare in our Strange New World?
A new book by theologian and historian Carl Trueman helps us chart not only the roots of modern self-perception and its destructive effects in the world around us, but also a way of Christian pilgrimage through our maddening modern culture. Read More… Virtually every sphere of American culture—from the university to the church to the mass media to multinational corporations and Big Tech—has e host to hotly contested debates over gender, race, sexual orientation, and a host of other issues....
Leo Strauss, Spinoza, and an enlightened faith
The political philosopher and classicist Leo Strauss continues to stir debate among Orthodox Jewish scholars as to just how Judaism can light the way in seeing the connection between faith and reason. Read More… Love him or hate him, it’s almost impossible to ignore the philosopher Leo Strauss (1899­–1973). Few individuals have drawn out so thoroughly some of the implications of philosophy for a range of political positions while simultaneously exploring perennial issues such as the meaning of the Enlightenment...
