Some religious groups oppose the concept of biological evolution, but others accept the idea of “evolutionary creation,” which posits that God created the universe and biological evolution is a natural process within that creation. Scientists have ample evidence that humans evolved from within the process of general evolution. Nature is capable of constructing itself, including bringing forth human beings.

Lead by a corrupt dictator, who also happens to be somehow one of Donald Trump’s favorite people, the Philippines are currently in the midst of a War on Drugs the likes of which America has never seen. In Mikhail Red’s new film NEOMANILA, he takes us inside the unofficially sanctioned death squads that hunt down drug pushers and kill them. It’s a gritty film that easily brings to mind SICARIO, but manages to be entirely new due to…
By Bears Rebecca Fonte The last film I saw for Fantasia was Robert Krzykowski's THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN BIGFOOT and it saved my whole festival. Having watched a number of features big on blood but lacking heart, this Sam Elliott drama shook me by the soul in a way films rarely do.

Review by Bears Rebecca Fonte Time travel films are absolutely my favorite so I was super pumped to watch the new Mega Time Squad from New Zealand director Tim van Dammen. Johnny (Anton Tennet) is a small-time crook looking to make his own luck. When a job stealing money from a local Chinese gang goes
