This short movie from Simple Truths has richness in it.
I enjoyed the illustrations immensely. They captured the nuances of emotions and made me laugh.
This is really apropos for today’s times.

I saw this movie today, and it was surprisingly funny. I hadn’t particularly wanted to go, but I was glad I did.
The entire audience laughed a lot. There were only a few really dumb things, and one character I could have written out, but the main character is so delightful and watchable and innocently [...]

I’m happy to share this online interview with Jane Porter. She was gracious to spend some time with us. I think you’ll agree that she is a voice we’d like to hear more of.
Jane, I so much enjoyed your book Flirting with 40, and I’m really looking forward to it being [...]

July 18th, 2008 — , Movies, Paris from Karin @ Savvy Thinker
Apres Vous is a romantic comedy that takes place in Paris. The DVD is subtitled in English, at least here in America.
In a way, it is similar to Ratatoille, only not animated. A lot of the action centers around an up-scale restaurant in Paris. Things get complicated when Antoine (Daniel Auteuil) (he [...]

Juno was recommended to me by a friend. I was told I’d like it, but I had my doubts.
First, the subject of adoption, birth mothers, birth fathers, birth family, and desire for a child are close to my heart. I have two bio children and two children adopted from China. [...]

Well, this is a movie I’ll definitely want to go see. Billed as the Breakfast at Tiffany’s for our times, I’m ready.
Not to mention that she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, and I liked her in Amélie and in The Da Vinci Code.
How about you?

College Girl and I went to see this last night. The plot of the movie surprised me, but it shouldn’t have. And I hadn’t heard the plot anywhere else.
In one sense, it was like seeing several episodes of the show at once. It was a fun movie, with a constant parade of [...]

Our paper had an article about Christina Ricci and her new movie Penelope. I would never have recognized her from the picture.
In it, she has what looks like dark blond hair (the picture is not in color.)
As I said, I would never have recognized her. She looks so much softer. [...]

I took my 10 and 12 year olds to this movie last night. The audience seemed to like it, with many laughs out loud.
There is one scary part, which is also funny, which happens so quickly, all you can do is gasp, then laugh at the ridiculousness of it.
The mother is a riot. [...]

Valentine’s Day might seem rather corny to you (and to me): after all, isn’t the point in celebrating love every day? But the pleasure-factor of watching a romantic film hand in hand with your loved one, silently hunched onto each other in a dark theater or at the abode of one’s home and enjoying an accompanying fragrance shouldn’t be shunned due to such esthete concepts as mentioned above.

College Girl and I went to see this movie tonight. I wasn’t sure if I’d want to see it, after reading the review, but I had seen a preview.

Here’s an excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale. He speaks some of the audio. I thought it was very interesting. I always liked him, but I don’t remember this one at all. It puts a whole new insight into what we sow.
