The Thing About Musicals
StandardWhen people break out in dance and song who wrote the songs and did the choreography? When did they have time to rehearse? Is there a hidden band somewhere that plays when the right time for musical pandemonium. Also, who decides when its time to actually begin the number? Just some overthinking for a Friday.
Hanks and Ryan
StandardTom and Meg are magic on screen. Their chemistry is amazing. Check out “Sleepless in Seattle”, “Joe Vs. The Volcano” and “You’ve Got Mail”. In all three movies they shine.
How did you enjoy the Giver film after reading the book?
StandardIt’s been awhile since reading the book but “The Giver” is a story that resonates with me on many levels. The book has the three main characters as much younger but the film has matured them a little which makes sense for dramatic and thematic purposes. The movie is a visual feast for the senses. It tells the story of the book faithfully without betraying the basic emotional feel of the story.
The casting was great and anytime you get Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges on board then you can’t go wrong. Both the book and movie make significant social and cultural statements that are important. They remind us of our humanity comes with pain. Good movie, I recommend it for anyone.

Friends this group produced some amazing hits over the years that have stood the test of time. My wife and I loved it and you will too.

We wanted a little Sherlock on a Friday night but settled on this Cumberbatch-Freeman flick instead. This is a movie full of action and a great visual effects.
BBC – Science & Nature Programmes – Hawking
LinkHawking stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the young Stephen Hawking who, as a bright and ambitious 21-year-old PhD student at Cambridge University, is diagnosed with the debilitating motor neurone disease and given two years to live. Against the odds, he goes on to achieve scientific success and worldwide acclaim, in particular with his best-selling book A Brief History Of Time.
Note: We saw this on Father’s Day (at my dad’s request) and it was a really good movie. Benedict Cumberbatch does a great job of portraying Stephen Hawking who is one of the world’s most famous men of science. I think Hawking has some good things to say but as a man of faith I believe that God is responsible for creation, however I see there is some things about time and space that can be divinely created. I came away from this with a new respect for the contributions of Stephen Hawking.
