Chasing Hats

The Addiction

by Tim Eaton

What do you get when you combine R. C. Sproul, Kierkegaard, and bloodsucking fiends? One of the most insightful movies I’ve seen in a long time.

The Killer in Me

by Tim Eaton

Horror stories have a unique aspect of first distancing ourselves from the characters (or at least the monsters). We see the atrocities they commit, and we recoil in horror. But then we’re hit from an unexpected angle: the humanity of the monsters, and how close they come to our own sins.

Courtship and the Male Ego

by Tim Eaton

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

by Tim Eaton

Forget about the new Mr. Deeds. Chasing Hats takes a look at the Frank Capra classic.

Understanding Music

by Tim Eaton

Music is intended to convey certain emotions - we have music to dance to, music to fight to, music to make love to, and music to worship to. Problems begin when people think that any style of music is appropriate for worship.

by Tim Eaton
