Catholic in Film School

Woohoo! I finished the site! It’s primitive to say the least, but web design has never been my strongest skill. I finished it around 11:30pm last night, and then promptly walked down the hall to the apartment of a few “cast members.” They weren’t that excited as they were watching Family Guy, (you know men [...]

Older readers will know that I have a devotion to the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph together, the Most Holy Couple as I call them. I have never been able to find any sort of devotions or saint medals to just the two of them and not the Holy Family. I asked one of [...]

…the blog will be a little lacking this week. I’m still designing the site for Pilgrims, not to mention doing last minute filming for the first episode that will be up next week.
I have to get my car fixed, and I must say there’s nothing like taking my car to the mechanic that makes me [...]

I’m officially back in LA, back on campus, and all moved in to my new campus apartment. I haven’t quite finished decorating my room yet, and my roommates and I are still selecting the art pieces for our “Hot Man Wall” in our living room. (I’ll be ordering a rather large Michael Phelps poster in [...]

Behold:

For the time being, ignore the pilgrims site url because it hasn’t been built yet. If you could, I would appreciate any prayers for this project. I’m having some tech problems and have been since I decided to make this series. If you missed the teaser, here you go:

Pax Christi, Rebecca.

I’M A LICENSED DRIVER!!!!!

I passed my test! I passed my test! I can’t believe it either because within the first two minutes I made two errors…and I wasn’t even driving the car. Apparently you’re still supposed to know your hand signals (which I didn’t) and where your front defroster is (which I did, but accidentally [...]

I was supposed to be moving in on campus today, but there’s been an administration delay and I won’t be moving permanently until the end of the week. I’m driving to LA this morning anyway to take my behind-the-wheel driver’s test because I can’t get an appointment in San Diego until September. And so all [...]

I intentionally did not read any reviews of this film before I went to see it because I didn’t want anyone’s opinions too affect my own. Even when I quoted Mark and Clayton in my pre-review I just scanned their articles looking for what looked like a relevant chunk of text. But now for my [...]

I’ve been meaning to make a post about upcoming animated films for a while:
The Princess and the Frog
The Princess and the Frog will debut in 2009. Set in New Orleans, this film will feature the first black princess in an animated Disney movie…ever. I don’t care what anyone says, Nala from the Lion King doesn’t [...]

I apologize for the lack of posts these past two days. At the moment I’m working on my review of The Dark Knight that I saw over the weekend, as well as the official trailer for “Pilgrims.” I do most of my blogging/creative work at night with the idea that most of you will see [...]

Celebrities
The sole purpose of this thread is to relay positive
Catholic entertainment news. With all of these celebrities having babies out of wedlock in the last six months, I think it’s important that I salute those Catholics in the industry who are expanding their families in a God-fearing manner. 
With that intro, here is the baby edition of [...]

The interview I did with Mark Banks, managing editor of Soul Food Cinema has officially been posted. This is the first of a series of interviews I will be doing with Mark each year on a quarterly basis until kingdom come, or at least until he decides he gets bored with me.
Fun fact: There’s a [...]

Despite the fact that I have been incredibly excited about the movie all year, I have not seen The Dark Knight just yet. I went to the movies last Friday, but my mother refused to see it due to Christian Bale’s erm…legal troubles…so we went and saw the latest installment of one of her [...]

My body still thinks it’s in Australia, but life is officially back to normal for the time being, which means the blog is back to normalcy as well. This week I will be publishing another edition of the Rumor Has It thread, a review of The Faithful Traveler DVD, a small note about new movies [...]

Introduction
It goes without saying that Hollywood is a place someone my age can easily get lost. I went there with a plan, but at the time that plan did not include my faith. Now that I have been renewed, I can’t leave God out. It almost hurts to do so, and in the last year [...]
