It’s time for Worth Revisit Wednesday, hosted by Theology is a Verb and Reconciled to You. This is an opportunity to pull an old post out of the mothballs, air it out again, and let everyone admire how well it’s held up. (Hopefully, mine has!) Be sure to stop by and see other other posts…
Tired of being told what you shouldn’t read or watch without being given alternatives? Join the movement to #ShowUsYourList! Let’s talk about what’s out there that’s good!
I’ve just started reading The American Catholic blog, and saw this review. I liked this part of the review, and must remind myself to try to get to this movie (or borrow it from the library when it becomes available on DVD. And of course we all know that Christianity really is the coolest thing…
This is one of my favorite moments in Groundhog Day (quite the under-rated movie, if you ask me). The best line is delivered at the end of this scene (at 5:03). The first time we watched this movie, we had to stop the videotape so I could calm down from laughing so hard. It was…
Hey, don’t forget that EWTN is showing Into the Great Silence tonight at 9:00 EDT. I’ve got my DVR set to record. Here are some clips and the trailer for the US release:
We took the girls to see WALL-E the other day.

I think that WALL-E is…
We watched King of Kings over Good Friday and Holy Saturday, and I really thought I knew the actor who played Jesus from somewhere. His name is Jeffrey Hunter, but I couldn’t quite place it. I went to IMdB and found this: “Star Trek” …. Captain Christopher Pike (1 episode, 1966)… aka Star Trek: TOS…
Big Girl has read this book four or five times, and approved of the movie, which had minor differences from the book. Little Girl also enjoyed it, and I’ve made her next book report assignment to read the book and compare and contrast the two. I enjoyed it, as well. It’s been a while since…
I’ve been reading children’s books lately in an effort to screen things for Big Girl. Well, probably for Little Girl, too, but she’s not finished with nearly every book in the house, as Big Girl is. Some books are famous – they’ve been made into movies – and these are among the ones Big Girl…
This weekend, we watched Surf’s Up, a cute movie about a penguin who only wants to be a surfer. What really made it cute was that it was done like a documentary. It was really what sold the movie, as far as I was concerned. There is one complaint I have, though. This movie was…
