Gibson's Next Movie

Fittingly, just ten days after the death of Sr Lucia dos Santos, the last survivor to witness the appearances of the Virgin Mary at the Portuguese town of Fatima in 1917, Mel Gibson has bought the rights to the book ‘Stealing from Angels’. Brian Dullaghan’s novel tells the story of a young Irish man... Sign in to see full entry.

Mr. Miyagi Trivia

You remember Mr. Miyagi of the Karate Kid series? He was played by an actor who goes by the name "Pat Morita." The other day, I found out that Pat Morita appeared in an earlier movie where he played Oriental No. 2. In that movie he was kung fued by Mary Poppins herself -- Julie Andrews. Do you know...

Two Movies I Am Waiting For

There are two movies I'd like to see... Bewitched, the movie version of another TV series (way back in the sixties) "Man Of The House" -- tough hard cop meets cheer leaders. I used to watch "Bewitched" as a kid. All the nose-wiggling made me laugh. I was too young to understand what the players were... Sign in to see full entry.

Revisiting Gibson's "The Passion"

It's been almost a year now since Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" was shown in movie theatres. After the controversies are over, perhaps we can once more take a look at the movie. Below are links that I am collecting for a page in my Wiki for Christian Art. Here are some of the resources there:... Sign in to see full entry.

Phantom Of The Opera

I saw the movie yesterday, but like the new musicals (e.g. Cats), it failed to impress me. Of all the musical numbers it presents, there is only one that is worth remembering and singing in the showers. After watching the movie, I began to wonder: "When are they going to make movie remakes of "Sound... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is a blog about it from National Review: Link: Jonah Goldberg on Groundhog Day on National Review Online.

Elektra

I saw "Elektra" yesterday and saw how the StarWars world-view has influenced it. Elektra belongs to a species of mother-less superfighters who at one point in their lives will have to make a choice as to whether to fight on the side of good or evil. In the movie, Elektra saves one of these... Sign in to see full entry.

Pope John Paul II Story In A Made For TV Movie

I just read about it today (that's how unupdated I am): A biographical made for TV movie about John Paul II's life is going to be aired this year in Italian TV. We are informed that the story will begin when Karol Wojtyla is ten and ends at his election as Pope. Sounds like the one made in 1984 with... Sign in to see full entry.

Blade Trinity

I saw how Blade and Co. beat up Dracula's crew on celluloid. It was an interesting twist to see the old vampire take on the characteristics of a demon. I think germ warfare applied to the fight against vampires was imaginative. However, I'd like to know: now that Blade has exterminated the vampires,... Sign in to see full entry.
