Movies Week in Review July 14th – 19th

It’s sure been a busy summer, and a hot one, too! Are you looking for a great flick to enjoy while sitting with your family in front of a fan, taking time just to be together in the midst of all the rush? Maybe we can help you out. We started the week with a review of “Courage Mountain,” a film which is supposedly the continuation of the story of “Heidi.” Heidi is now fifteen and decides to attend boarding school, but as World War I ignites, she and her classmates are stranded in Italy . . . until Peter … Continue reading →

Movies Week in Review June 9th-14th

Welcome to our Movies Week in Review! If you’ve been wondering what’s hot and what’s not, you’ll want to be sure to read the following reviews. We began the week with Lyn’s review of “The Adventures of Milo and Otis,” about a puppy and a kitten who become friends. Unlike other movies that feature animals as their main characters, Milo and Otis do not speak, but rather, a narrator provides a running dialogue for us. It’s an enjoyable film, but not one packed with a lot of action. Next, Valorie took us on a tour of “I am Legend,” which … Continue reading →

Movies Week in Review – May 19th – 24th

We saw some great movies this last week. If you’d like to know what we thought, click on the links below to read the full reviews. We started off the week with “The Water Horse,” a fanciful movie that investigates the legend of the Loch Ness monster and suggests one possible way it came to be in existence. We go back in time to World War II and see a young boy named Angus find a strange stone by the loch—a stone which turns out to be the egg of the mythical water horse. He cares for the creature until … Continue reading →

Movies Week in Review – April 14th-19th

Thanks for joining us for our Movies Week in Review! We may just be able to steer you toward a film you’ll really enjoy. We began the week with a guest blog by Dale Harcombe, our Christian blogger. She shared with us one of her favorite films, “A Man Called Peter,” the story of Peter Marshall. He was an immigrant from Scotland who came to America and started his own small church, eventually becoming Chaplain of the United States Senate, but his way was not always easy. The movie is based on the book written by his wife – Catherine … Continue reading →

Movies Week in Review: December 24th – 29th

Wondering which movies to rent next time you’re at the video store? Come check out this week’s reviews and you’ll get some great ideas. “The Clock,” starring Judy Garland and Robert Walker, is one you may want to skip over if you’re looking for an in-depth plot. Walker plays a soldier on a two-day leave who meets the girl of his dreams, and after spending a whole day together, decides to marry her before returning to the front. That’s basically all there is to the story. It’s not a musical, so don’t expect Judy to sing. “Forever Young,” on the … Continue reading →

The 1941 Walt Disney Animators Strike

The Walt Disney Corporation has such a good family-friendly image.  It really styles itself as an ideal place to work.  We can only imagine that things were even better in Disney’s golden era, when the man himself was still running things.  But that wasn’t always the case; in fact, in 1941 hundreds of Disney animators went on strike. The Business Insider has some fantastic photographs of and other images from the strike, and of the materials the strikers were circulating.  But it’s a bit lacking on the specific details of why animators would go on strike, especially so soon after … Continue reading →
