Ten years ago two films were released that would have a significant impact on the movies. One was Iron Man and the other was The Dark Knight. I happen to enjoy both films thoroughly. I prefer one to the other, but both of them are very enjoyable movies in my view. The two films were […]
Read More About An Ensemble PieceThere’s this movie. OK, first up about me and movies. I don’t class myself as a movie fanatic, but I enjoy watching them. I like the odd occasion watching them at the cinema with a good friend – I much prefer watching it at a cinema with a good friend. Whereas when I’m at home, […]
Read More Throwing Yourself On The GrenadeAlmost 15 years ago whilst at university I chose as an optional module to study sociology. As I was majoring in Philosophy and Politics the overlaps appeared natural to me in terms of sociological studies that supported certain political situations and the philosophical values that underpinned both the sociological method and it’s political implications. One […]
Read More Talking Point: Violence on the Screen and in SocietyAs I’ve noted before I’ve just suffered for the umpteenth time the fact that me hard drive has been corrupted seeing the end of a lot of work over 2009 and usually bringing on a season of mourning and great sadness. It did cause considerable inconvenience over the time I was without it and I […]
Read More Thanks For The Things That LastIt’s been a while and there’s good reason for that too – the dreaded technological difficulties. I even have to use the wife’s one to put this together and anyone who knows about the wife’s cute little machine knows that it has to take something for this to be the case. I hope to have […]
Read More Errr … About That HiatusI finally got to watch The Wrestler recently. I saw a film that told a wonderful morality play along the lines of what happens when you invest your life into something at the cost of everything and you are defined by what you do rather than investing in who you are called to be as […]
Read More Who Are You Not What Are You Good AtI have no idea what it is this year about the movies. In the first quarter there were a few things that got my interest, but really since then the choice of films on offer has been somewhat substandard. Transformers 2 was alright, but GI Joe was disappointing. The Taking of Pelham 123 was actually […]
Read More Seeking in SurrogatesThis is a change to your scheduled blog. The series on fasting is set to continue soon. I felt it would be good, though, to keep you updated. Now I know I’ve done that a bit recently, but it’s a personal blog ain’t it, so it’s good from time to time to get an update. […]
Read More More Updates on DMCDNo you won’t recall because you haven’t read the review yet, but when you do read the review, you’ll discover that one of the prayer points we want people to hold is for Slumdog Millionaire to win the Oscar for Best Film. That reminds me to get that entry up and running which I hope […]
Read More Late Night Movie Tip And Other StuffSo January’s over and it has been an interesting way to start 2009. No doubt that the centre of attention was the community launch and dedication service for the new COG Training and Conference Centre. It’s taken up a lot of time and energy and now that it’s out of the way and over with […]
