Beauty And The Beast 3-D – AMC 12 At Downtown Disney, Anaheim, CA

Wow. Stunning, beautiful, extravagant…I’d need a thesaurus to better describe how incredible this film looked in 3-D. This film in particular is a great example of how beautiful 3-D can be, and it’s all thanks to a little thing Walt pioneered in 1937 called the multi-plane camera. I think Disney’s next big push should be for Snow White And The Seven Dwarves in 3-D. I would pay money to see that. But the film was only stunning up until the last 15 minutes or so. I’ve never had problems with 3-D before (although several of my friends have mentioned not being capable of watching a film with the glasses without developing a migraine), but the last 15 minutes were ruined for me because I can’t see the gorram sailboat. And it wasn’t just me! Recent conversations have revealed the same problem with Lion King 3-D and the grass. And it … Continue reading →

White Christmas – OCPAC

Alright, that was cute. A very nice adaptation with some interesting and eyebrow-raisingchanges. Thank you Sarah for pointing out that the dancing/choreography is amazing – we agree. And yes, the tempo’s are all a bit too fast (even “Love, You Didn’t Do Right By Me”), but we’ve decided that that is because they added so much content they needed to race through all the songs in order to be done at a decent hour. 😉 Laura very much liked the formation changes – they were very dynamic and effective. I guess at the end of the day, they have to make a bunch of broad changes and the audience gets to pick and choose their favorites. Me, I liked the General and Martha and all of the new songs were VERY well done. The only original songs cut were Mandy/Minstrel Show and Choreography which makes perfect sense as they are … Continue reading →

Paul Jon Prayer for the offering Paul’s speaking tonight We’re in fundraising mode for the next six weeks Paul I wish you could see what I see up here Everything we experience When the speaker is uneasy the listener is uneasy At least I have Angry Birds on my phone Breathless, I hang on the every word from my adonis Protagonist: main character Dooteragonist: 2nd main character Antagonist: villain I’d like to touch on what the bible says about this Luke 9:23 pick up your cross and follow me We see a cross and feel welcomed because we know the rest of the story What was Bartholomew’s perspective? It was a bloody awful thing Why would Jesus use this imagery? Scicero (emperor before Jesus) wanted to abolish crucifixion Self-denial Deep-fried Twinkee Whack-a-mole with the sinful self Denial of it like Peter’s denial of Christ Just as passionate as his confession … Continue reading →
