Enjoying Life from the Best Seats in the House
BalconyCreed For weeks now my children have been begging to see Sing. On Christmas Eve we acquiesced and took the children to the theater (for those keeping track – this was my fifth trip to the theater over break:). I judge kids movies with a simple barometer – I listen to the laughter. A strong kids’ … Read moreSing: A Review
Recently, I had the opportunity to see an advance screening of Fences. To say that I was excited about this opportunity is an understatement. I have been a fan of August Wilson’s writing for over two decades, so to see one of his plays, my favorite in particular, come to the big screen is exciting. Fences … Read moreFatherhood, Family, and Friendship. Fences: A Review
Let’s cut to the chase. I liked it. I liked it a lot. I liked The Force Awakens more, but I also feel this is a different film altogether. Let me explain. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first of several stand-alone films in the Star Wars anthology. Given that it’s “sequel” was already released nearly … Read moreRogue One: More Than Hope

I have tried really hard to avoid Star Wars spoilers. I’ve watched the trailers, but I have pretty much avoided everything else. And then Luke was absent from the movie poster. “Who’s more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?” I already have my tickets purchased. Yes, I’m that guy. No, I didn’t … Read moreThe Truth – from A Certain Point of View: A Star Wars Theory.
There’s a routine that used to be pretty funny about Noah and his interaction with the Lord. I’ve tweaked part of that routine to show how I feel about recent “entertainment” events… CREED! What? This is the Lord. And I have a question for you. Riiiight I’m drowning in sorrow, disappointment. Shame. Anger. There’s this … Read more“When gods Die…”
I have had arguments with friends about the validity of Batman being considered a superhero. He has no superpowers, but the one thing the Caped Crusader always is is prepared. One of my favorite lines from the Michael Keaton Batman movie is when the Joker says, “Where does he get those wonderful toys?” And it’s … Read moreCargo Pants – What a Batman Would Wear
It’s easy to restrict a movie to the big screen. But why would you? One of the things that we have come to enjoy about the movies is the full landscape that unfolds before our very eyes. The intriguing characters, the setting, the story line – each of these becomes a player and a means … Read moreMore Than Trailers and Tickets
The picture at the bottom of this post is of a post-it that a student stuck on my door. It may be a welcome sign for some and a warning for others. In the meantime, it helped me to recognize something. I am a geek. I wasn’t as a kid. I loved Star Wars and … Read moreThe Golden Age of Geekdom
