Josh loved Jon Krakaur’s book, Into the Wild and so he was excited to discover it was being made into a film, directed by Sean Penn. I knew the story only from Josh’s retelling of it, and I too was intrigued.
We watched the movie last night and it was amazing. I was curious as to [...]

A friend (no relation) recently posted the complete best picture list and noted which one’s he’d seen. I thought it would be fun to do the same. It’s also a reminder of some movies I’d like to see.
Bold titles are those I have seen; italics are those that I still want to see.

My computer is going to be getting some TLC from Applecare. It’s getting mailed out tomorrow. What will I do!?! While Josh was gone away for several days at our churches men’s retreat, he took the computer and I was without it. What I missed most was being able to Google stuff. I realize how [...]

Appropriately, I made Mexican Hot Chocolate to indulge in while watching the fairy tale-like story. I got this out of the newspaper [...]

* If you think the “bad guy” is dead, do not check to make sure. They’re always still alive, and one last battle will ensue. High tail it out of there!
* If a man and [...]

On Friday night, Josh and I went to to dinner with our friends Matt and Emily, and then saw Amazing Grace (click to watch a preview). I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as the movie was concerned, and what I knew of William Wilberforce was only from listening to Moody Broadcasting’s Stories [...]

I’m very excited about the new movie, Miss Potter, starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan MacGregor. It’s a movie based on the life of Beatrix Potter. Beatrix Potter’s art was a huge inspiration when I was young. As a child, enraptured by her illustrations, I copied her work into my sketchbooks by the hundreds. Once a [...]
