A 1.21 Giggawatt Crisis, by Tyler Gunstream
12 Apr
I remember as a kid, when my brother and I saw Back to the Future for the first time. It was such a crazy concept to us; that you could actually go back in time and alter the past to change the future. But at that time I don’t think my small mind could grasp the idea that changing the past could essentially take you out of the future. Due to Marty McFly’s well meaning act of heroism to save his father from being hit by a car, he altered the first meeting between his parents, which would eventually result in love, marriage, and kids (including Marty himself).
By Our Love? by Jim Rohner
8 Apr
A few weeks ago I was talking to my Queue The Day podcast co-host about all the recent TV we had been watching and I mentioned how I was watching GCB for More Than One Lesson blogging purposes. We asked for my thoughts on the show, I responded with the knee jerk, “it’s the least offensive attack on Christianity I’ve ever seen.” At that point, I had only watched the pilot and seeing as one episode is never enough exposure to make any judgments about a theoretically long-running series (unless it’s Breaking Bad), my comment was more the result of a combination of the relatively unflattering picture that the mainstream media has historically painted of Christianity and GCB’s general lack of acerbity throughout its roughly 44-minute running time.
The Best of Pictures- The Artist (2011), by Josh Long
3 Apr
THE ARTIST (2011)
Written and Directed by: Michael Hazanavicius
Starring: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, James Cromwell, John Goodman
Do we remember silent film? There are lots of us cinephiles who have watched many great silents, sometimes out of genuine enjoyment, and other times out of curiosity. But the further we get from the era of Chaplin and Murnau, the less likely it seems that the casual movie-goer has ever seen a silent movie. When Michel Hazanavicius brought the genre back into the limelight with The Artist, audiences revisited their feelings about this long-lost style of filmmaking.
