Up Featurette from Pixar

Contact (1997)
Friday, May 1st, 2009Contact (1997) is one of my all-time favorite science fiction movies. I watched it again a couple of nights ago, and find my opinion reinforced. This is a great movie. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) is a brilliant scientist who is driven to spend her time listening to the sky for signals from space. Jena Malone [...]
Dan Brown, Ron Howard, and the Catholic League
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009I see the Catholic League is after Dan Brown and Ron Howard again. I can appreciate an organization that publishes a booklet that calmly tells an interested person where Angels and Demons gets doctrine wrong; that’s a prime teaching moment. But a booklet entitled: “Angels and Demons: More Demonic Than Angelic“? Well, that’s just embarrassing. [...]

Movie Night: Toy Story 2
Monday, December 8th, 2008For the past 4 or 5 months, my family and I have popped some popcorn and settled in for a movie on Sunday nights at around 6p. Last night we watched: Still a great movie! Actually superior to the first one, which we watched last week.

Up!
Saturday, November 8th, 2008Ostrov (2006)
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008I’m not much of a film critic, so I can’t really say how this Russian film fits into the history of film or comment on its style, but I can say that I found it remarkable. The title is “Ostrov”, and I found it on Netflix titled “The Island”. In the little research I did [...]
Movie Night
Monday, October 20th, 2008My family and I have been having a movie night on Sunday nights for a while now. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but 9 times out of 10, we pop some popcorn and sit down every Sunday night at 7 and pop in a DVD. We’ve watched four of the Star Wars movies (the three [...]
