‘Dorky’ Billy Graham Film on DVD in March
Billy: The Early Years , a film about Billy Graham, bombed at the box office and was panned by critics and even by his own son, Franklin, who apparently told his sister the movie was “dorky.” Despite those shortcomings, filmmakers will look to recoup some of their losses through DVD sales when the movie hits the video shelves on March 16 . “This film will make you thankful for the life of Billy Graham,” the Dove Foundation said in a press release .

Should This Woman Abort? YOU Decide
Three young women, all very early in unplanned pregnancies, are the main characters of a new “fictional reality” online TV show, in which the viewing audience gets to choose who aborts, and who does not. BUMP + is fictional in that the characters are really actresses, not real women in such a situation. But their predicaments are very real and common

Finding Common Ground in Abortion Debate
One flick that got a lot of buzz at the recent Sundance Film Festival was 12th & Delaware , made by the same filmmakers who brought us Jesus Camp a few years ago. The movie is about an intersection in a small Florida town, with an abortion clinic on one corner and a crisis pregnancy center — which encourages expectant mothers to have their babies rather than abort them — across the street.

LOST: The Place Where ‘Nothing Is Irreversible’
It’s been just a few minutes since the season premiere of Lost’s sixth and final season ended, and I think I’m going to be scratching my head on this one for a while. (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD ) I don’t think we’ve solved the mystery of Locke/The Man in Black/The Smoke Monster yet, but hopefully those answers will continue to unfold in the weeks ahead. This much is certain, though: Nothing is certain.
