"This is a hard film to watch," K. Ryan Jones said about Fall from Grace, his documentary centering on Reverend Fred Phelps and his followers.

Phelps is the self-ordained minister of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, whose members have gained infamy by picketing military funerals and the funerals of people who died of AIDS. The church cites the deaths of American soldiers as evidence of God exacting wrath on gay-sympathetic America.

Opinions

Editorial: Starving for Attention

Recently, Tyra Banks was upset because the media snapped bad pictures of her on vacation. Banks says the pictures were unflattering, but that type of body is groovy and sexy; however, it is not hers. She then proceeded to show other photos with visible weight and give weight estimates from her career highlights. The audience applauded as Banks fought back tears and proclaimed, "I have one thing to say to you [the media]. Kiss my fat ass!" But they failed to realize the underlying message.
