    Now. This week. Push back against the great silencing of our time.

    April 1, 2019 / Comments Off on Now. This week. Push back against the great silencing of our time.

    If a pro-life movie was refused soundtrack licensing by almost every major record label… …if it was refused paid advertising spots on every mainstream television outlet (save Fox News)… …if the MPAA slapped it with an R-rating for portraying a 2-D gray-scale abortion on the screen of a sonogram machine and the bleeding in the bathroom from the abortion pill… …if it faithfully represented the first-hand experience of a former Planned Parenthood executive who is now Pro-Life… …if it was attacked by Planned Parenthood saying, “The claims in this film are simply false” (“These are not the droids you’re looking for”)… …then I would make every effort to see it…

    La La Land Now Streaming: How do we decide between his dreams vs her dreams vs steadfast love?

    May 1, 2017 / Comments Off on La La Land Now Streaming: How do we decide between his dreams vs her dreams vs steadfast love?

    If you only watch the first half of La La Land (just released on DVD), you’ll find yourself swept into the blue-sky, sunshine, and citrus colors of Hollywood dreams. The opening big production number on the jammed LA freeway introduces us to Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), off to a prickly start but eventually falling in love and cheering each other on. He wants to revive the lost art of pure jazz in his own club; she wants to become a famous Hollywood actress.   Part one concludes with Seb and Mia’s Boy-Gets-Girl kiss in an iris fade so typical of bygone Hollywood Happy Endings. But, as in…

    The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: Boomers Take on Aging and Death

    June 3, 2012 / 2 Comments

    "What will you do in the end?" asks the prophet Jeremiah. Sonny, a young Indian entrepeneur has an answer: "Outsource aging to India!" Where they respect their elders and where, instead of a tiny beige flat, your thirty-year civil service pension can afford life in his luxurious hotel. In this movie seven retirees and widows with different baggage and longings accept the offer and fly off to spend their golden years in India. OK, so it turns out to be a run-down, covered-in-dust and peeling-paint hotel. Photoshopping your brochure works better for Sonny than his guests. A fine cast, including Judy Dench, Bill Nighly, Tim Hathaway, and Maggie Smith and…
