When Kale Brecht's mother disconnects the 17-year-old's iTunes, Xbox Live, and cable television, the teen is left only to stare out the windows of his suburban home, trying to make sense of the idiosyncrasies of what he calls "Disturbia" (also the film's name, rated PG-13 for language, violence, and sensual imagery). Kale is living for three months under house arrest as a consequence of assaulting his Spanish teacher.

After Zach Johnson, a professing Christian, won the Masters last week, he mused to reporters about the victory coming on "Easter Sunday-I feel very blessed and honored and I feel like there was a power that was walking with me and guiding me."

God also uses human agents, so credit Johnson's caddie for some sage advice that might have propelled the unknown golfer to his first major championship. On the final day, caddie Damon Green convinced Johnson, 31, to keep his eyes away from the leaderboard and simply focus on making shots.

Never dismiss the allure of a good conspiracy theory. According to a recent Scripps Howard survey, 36 percent of Americans think the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were an inside job aided or perpetrated by the federal government.

Meet the Robinsons (rated G) is one of Disney's best recent creations not exclusively done by Pixar. Central character Lewis is an orphan who remains unadopted as he approaches his 13th birthday: Prospective parents tend to like him until Lewis' true self (a geeky but lovable inventor) begins to shine through.

Will Ferrell's latest offering-Blades of Glory (rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor and language)-trades on a brand of humor that turns one of the biggest culture war battlefields into a running joke. Surprisingly, Christians and gay people might walk away from Blades of Glory with the same thought: Should we be laughing at homosexuality like this?
