Why Shouldn’t Jim and Pam Marry?

By David Dunham ⋅ May 28, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s an old scenario that television viewers have watched recur for years: boy meets girl, falls in love, hides his love or faces rejection, as the tension builds fans yearn for their union, until finally it happens and the episodes that follow are awash (either concluding the whole series, or just simply ruining it)! We saw it with Ross and Rachel, with Stephan Urkel and Laura Winslow, and with David and Donna (Beverly Hills 90210). Perhaps this is why I am so desperate not to see Jim and Pam wed. I like the show The Office too much!

I Am Legend: He is Job

By David Dunham ⋅ March 26, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

He had lost his family, and his entire way of life. He came face to face with evil and he pondered to himself, “Why has God allowed this to happen?” It is the essential question that everyone asks of tragedy. It is not simply a question of philosophical investigation or even of theological study, but the cry of the broken heart. You may think I am speaking of Job, the “righteous man” of Scripture, but I amactually referencing Robert Neville, the main character of the new to DVD movie I am Legend, a gripping and intense thriller with an amazing ending (warning: spoilers inside).
