January 29, 2010 - Quote

“Humanly devised worldviews are small, partial, reducing the complexities of life into a simplistic answer. They are narrow-minded. The Christian worldview, in contrast, is whole, vast, sophisticated … Since truth exists beyond ourselves and is grounded in the will and the work of God, Christians can affirm truth wherever we find it. We can build on what is of value in whatever we read. But this is only possible if we read with skepticism, refusing to accept human ideologies as authoritative, recognizing just how incomplete they are, and supplementing what they say with the larger truths found in Scripture.”

--Gene Edward Veith, “Flex the Brain”, WORLD Magazine, Nov. 1, 2003, Vol. 18, No. 42 (http://www.worldmag.com/articles/8202).

January 20, 2010 - Spider-man Woes

Sad day for Spider-man. I think he might have met with his worst enemy yet: The studio making his movies.

I read on Rotten Tomatoes that Sony fired Sam Raimi. Sony fired the man you directed three of the best (if not THE best) superhero movies of all time? Their reason? Raimi didn't want to be put into a time crunch. Sony wanted the movie to be ready for a 2011 release and Raimi said he wanted to wait longer and have more time to "keep the film's creative integrity" (quoting Deadline.com, not Raimi). Sounds like a good reason to me.

So far he doesn't have a replacement, but I do know that one of the directors on their "wish list" is James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic)-- Heaven forbid!

Now, to pour salt on an already gaping wound, the storyline will probably go back in time and show Peter Parker in highschool (as opposed to college). This would require a younger, "sexier", actor to play Peter Parker. That means no Tobey Maguire! It's rumoured that the whole cast will be replaced as well. Now we're talking no Rosemary Harris (Aunt May), not Kirsten Dunst (MJ), no J.K. Simmons (J.Jonah Jameson)... These movies were perfectly cast. Why mess with it?

To put it bluntly; Sony just killed the Spider-man franchise.

At least we'll always have the first three.

January 18, 2010 - Lord of the Rings Day

See full size imageEvery year in January my family watches all three Lord of the Rings movies in one day. We do this to celebrate J.R.R Tolkien's brithday (which is on January 3). We don't watch the movies at any other time during the year so we save up all our anticipation for our LOTR Day. This is such a fun tradition! I hope we do it for years!

 

And happy -belated- birthday to the greatest story teller of all time: J.R.R. Tolkien!

December 15, 2009 - Bilbo Rumors

So... The newest rumor is... Tobey Maguire (of Spider-man fame) to play Bilbo Baggins. Wow. I'm not sure what to think of that. Note: This IS NOT CONFIRMED. This is just a RUMOR!

Anyone have any thoughts?

November 25, 2009 - Shrek 4

See full size imageIt's official, Shrek 4, entiltled Shrek Forever After will arrive May 21, 2010.

In the fourth and final enstallment, Shrek is feeling too "domesticated." He wants his roar back. So, he makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin. But, of course, the deal go awry and Shrek sees what life would be like in Far Far Away if he never existed. It's a sort of Brother's Gimm meets It's a Wonderful Life.

Hmm... Sounds interesting. We'll see!
