Note: This is a "crossover" blog that can also be found at my other site, where I chronicle my thoughts on entertainment.

Mollywood exists. I know, you've probably never heard of it, but it's out there. Mollywood is the term for Latter-day Saint cinema (stemming from the phrase "Molly Mormon). In recent years, a generation of Mormon filmmakers has risen up. Some of the movies are great (Singles Ward) and some [...]
