Friday, February 29th, 2008Recently Marc and I saw the movie, The Ultimate Gift. It was a wonderful, wholesome family film. There were times I found it a bit predictable, but in a good way, and with a wonderful message. Still, it had some nice surprises along the way. The movie trailer describes it better then I could. Here [...]
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Friday, February 22nd, 2008I had seen the movie, The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), a few years ago, but I had never read the book by Alexandre Dumas and always wanted to. So, fast forward to roughly a month ago and I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version downloaded from our local library. I listened [...]
Movie Review: Sweet Land is Sweet!
Friday, February 15th, 2008A few months ago Marc and I rented a movie we had never heard of, called Sweet Land. We were in the mood for a nice, simple movie with a good plot; we found it in this show. In fact, when we watched, I planned to write about it for a Valentine’s Day post. Then, [...]
PBS Masterpiece Classic: The Complete Jane Austen
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Marc and I don’t watch a lot of TV. We used to, and then we had kids. With their entrance into our lives, TV took an exit. (So has the majority of our extra time.) If we do have the TV on, it’s usually for a kids show. Occasionally after the kids go to bed [...]
Video Review: Jeff Allen Live – Happy Wife, Happy Life™ Revisited
Sunday, January 6th, 2008A few months ago, we provided a link to a Jeff Allen bit about his Volkswagen. That was one of about maybe three clips that we had seen at all of him. I may have seen him on TV before he cleaned up his act (unintentional double entendre there), but he may have been like [...]
Book Review: The Great Physician’s Rx for Health and Wellness
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008A year ago I found out I have asthma. Asthma is very livable, and considering the conditions I could have, I’d say I’m pretty lucky. But asthma can be really annoying, and lately I’ve had to grab my inhaler a lot. I’m someone who hates medicine, and the toxins that get shoved into it, so [...]
A Movie Review: Amazing Grace
Monday, December 17th, 2007This will be a short entry, not because I don’t have a lot I want to say, but because I want to write about the movie Amazing Grace, but I don’t want to give it away.
The movie takes place in the 1700’s, in Britain. It follows the true life story of William Wilberforce, a member [...]
For the Love of Pizza-Burger
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Unlike probably a lot of you out there, I don’t have many memories of school cafeterias serving something called “pizza burger”. Throughout secondary school, I brought my lunch and usually ate across the street at the park or somewhere equally quiet.
The only thing that I had ever known with this name was something my mom [...]
Evan Almighty: A Movie Review
Monday, November 5th, 2007Last week Marc and I rented movies, one of them was Evan Almighty. I was both excited, and apprehensive to see it.
You see, I saw Bruce Almighty for the first time a couple months ago. I can’t even tell you if I liked it. It had moments of real depth, glimpses where Hollywood seem to [...]
Harry Potter inspired by Christianity
Sunday, October 21st, 2007Warning: spoilers ahead!
I have a confession to make. A confession that will leave some Christians gasping, wondering if I have a true alliance to God, and make others stand up and yell, “Sing it sister.” Let me just say this and let the shunning and praising begin…. I. Love. Harry. Potter. I do. I love [...]
