I Laughed, I Cried

Last night we saw the greatest movie. Within the first two minutes I was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my cheek. Young@Heart is the touching story of an elderly chorus that tackles classic rock songs, and I’m here to tell you that the film walks you through hilarious episodes of them trying [...]

Bourne

We went to see the Bourne Ultimatum last weekend. Just as others have said, this movie is fantastic. I know that there were only three books, but they totally left it open for a fourth movie. That got me to thinking. Matt Damon has another good 30-40 years in him, so they could conceivably come [...]

The Simpsons

I saw The Simpsons a couple of weeks ago. We went to see it on a Monday night, which I assumed would be less busy. WRONG. We arrived at the theater 20 minutes before showtime, and the only spot that was available was on the front row. Zuh? Granted, we were at the Alamo Drafthouse [...]

Shallow

I recently posted about how much I enjoyed seeing a movie with an encouraging and uplifting message, a movie with substance. Since then I’ve seen no less than three movies with considerably less substance, and I’ve enjoyed them as well. A couple of week’s ago we decided on sushi and a movie for date night, [...]

Bella

Last night we got to preview a movie called Bella. The showing was sponsored by our governor Rick Perry, so we anticipated an agenda. How often do you get invited to see a movie before its official release though? So we went. The showing was at Rivebend Centre. Traffic wasn’t nearly as bad as we [...]

Moviegoer

This was a movie weekend, sort of. Friday night we rented Stranger Than Fiction. Very clever. It covers new ground in a fun and compelling way, and the characters are interesting. It was as interesting as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but without the creepy undertones. Will Farrel is not my favorite. He’s not [...]

Thank You For Smoking

Liz & I saw Thank You For Smoking last night. I anticipated it being good, the whole concept is clever. I was very impressed, we both loved it. The story’s main character and narrator is Nick Naylor, the main lobbyist for a conglomeration of tobacco companies, and as such is not well received most places [...]

28 Days Later

Howdy all, its been a busy month. Good, but busy. Work is going well, school is going well, and things at my church are going better than they have in months. Its a very exciting time to be in ministry. God is definitely at work in the hearts of His people. Every once in a [...]
