An article in yesterday's Washington Post examined an apparent uptick in movies dealing with religion, "spirituality" and....all that kind of stuff. The reporter defines the motif rather broadly. Still, the article contains some interesting insights. (I particularly like the observation that the movie "Up in the Air" is in some ways a modern "Christmas Carol." Rather a gloomy modern "Christmas Carol," I'd say...)
