Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous and a heck of a good time. If your two year old can handle Finding Nemo, we think they could handle this movie. Angus (Merida’s horse) was GORGEOUS!!!!! I loved the story and am thrilled that a good Pixar movie can be made by more than the original founders. Beautiful Celtic music by Patrick Doyle (Harry Potter, and etc). Elinor’s character arc is very interesting. I find myself wondering about her backstory. When she had to marry Fergus to keep the peace between the clans I was also amused by our second viewing which occurred after rewatching the Nanny McPhee movies (both Merida/Kelly MacDonald and Elinor/Emma Thompson are in the first one and the second one’s just as cute and lovely) and then to hear Elinor mention collywobbles cracked me up. 🙂 Fergus cracks me up (loves me some Billy Connelly – ever since Muppet Treasure Island). … Continue reading →

Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted – Cinemark 20 at Bella Terra, Huntington Beach, CA

Absolutely delightful!!!! The price of admission is worth Martin Short’s incredible performance as an Italian sea lion and the Fur Power circus performance in London. Mind blowing beautiful, it puts Cirque to shame in my opinion. But I’m not a Cirque groupie, so I could be way off base. 😉

Paul So I came here tonight with a list of songs to do, but then I started playing them and it felt weirdo until I got to the one hymn I had on the list So then I set it as “no song under 50 years old” night Charlie Matt and I have both participated with VBS previously This year we are fully signed up with kids We still need some more volunteers (10 more) Even a one day volunteership would be a blessing Wednesday the 11th especially Matt I volunteered and then got asked to be in the skits – I was Chef Pierre So then I could have chilled or do what Katie wanted and wander around in character The kids loved it so much that when I went on break, the kids threw a fit when I wasn’t there to give them snack and put on paper … Continue reading →

Paul Stephen potluck in 2 weeks Sharing one thing on my mind I’ve been careless this week with words and I’m reading this for me and I don’t know if these 2 verses have ever been linked together John 15 no longer do I call you servants Romans 15:7 therefore show grace and peace and hospitality One of the hardest things to do is just be friendly to people around you Paul Jon Here’s Jeami, she’s going to India next week Jeami I’ve had India on my heart for a long time With Uganda in good hands, prayer led us to know that now was the time So I joined the rotary club of El Segundo and they asked me to represent them in Bangkok so they’re paying my way which is a huge deli FE Jon Another week, another parable Jesus often responded to deep questions with stories Have … Continue reading →

Paul Stephen Greet those around you Short thoughts on wht Easter means I was always puzzled growing up by genesis and how adam and eve were told that eating the apple would kill them and then not dying when they eat the apple 1 Corinthians 15 First fruits of those who have fallen asleep Death isnt just something that happens at the end of your life No longer have to be driven by things that will matter after our death Paul Jon Luke 15 As you’re doing that, open with a few thoughts Its one trying to believe in the resurrection, that it happened 2000 years ago Another thing to believe resurrection is happening every day Some of you had dead parts in you that are being resurrected It’s not just that it happened, it’s happening today Leaning into it and living it and showing others what it’s like … … Continue reading →

Paul Jon Middle of a discussion with Simon a Pharisee, Jesus drops in a parable Luke chapter 7 Parable ends with open question As westerners we get frustrated when parables question us Luke 7:36-50 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and … Continue reading →

John Carter Of Mars – UltraLuxe Cinema, GardenWalk, Anaheim, CA

AN AMAZING FILM!!!! GO SEE IT NOW!!!! IGNORE THE STUPID AS HELL MARKETING!!!! The marketing for this film makes it seem like it’s just a guy fighting aliens film, but there is so much more beautiful stuff than that. Funny thing is, you can see a lot of similar elements to Tarzan (at least at the very core of the story) which really makes me want to go read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Oh…didn’t the marketing tell you? This story is based on a 100 year old book! Of COURSE they didn’t mention it….they didn’t believe in it. That’s why they released it in March. NO faith. Which is so sad since Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E) directed expertly and Michael Giacchino composed amazingly epic themes (as always – you know: Up!, Star Trek, Space Mountain, etc). But enough out of me. Go buy the Blu-Ray and show Disney … Continue reading →

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

Leave a reply

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 →
