Catholic in Film School

As an aside, you’d think PP workers would be smarter with the questions they answer.

Check out the official trailer for Doubt, a film set in the 60s about a nun who suspects her parish priest of abusing a black student.

It looks…interesting…however I’m always wary of secular production companies taking on this topic. On the other hand, it looks like the traditionalists vs. progressive Catholics theme is going to [...]

The Olympics have been over for forever, but I still want to highlight Olypmian Lopez Lomong, a devout Catholic who was one of the infamous “Lost Boys of Sudan.” Lomong was taken in by an American family and eventually became the running superstar that he is today. You can check out his website here.
It looks [...]

1. Heaven on Earth
Can our desires be so powerful that they take human form?
Heaven on Earth is about a young Indian woman named Chand who travels to Canada to marry an Indian man. All is well for a bit until he becomes abusive on their honeymoon. Still yet, the young bride Chand wants to be [...]

There’s a running joke on my favorite political blog about alpha males vs. beta males.  In my opinion, practicing Christian men are pretty much always alpha males—they are leaders who understand that their masculinity comes from Christ.
I meet way too many beta males out here in LA, and given that I work in a number [...]

It’s Tuesday but I’m still exhausted from the weekend. On Saturday morning I attended a Life Walk as a part of the LA chapter of 40 Days For Life, a worthy cause that I hope you are supporting by prayer if not by anything else.
This is my first time participating in this event, and so [...]

Really.
I was cruising NCR’s website and came across a blurb from Tom Hoopes about a Fireproof review written for Inside Catholic:
Matthew Likona shares his ambivalent take on the movie Fireproof …he decides “it’s hard to kick a puppy.” 
…But what are you going to do? There’s something sweet and innocent about the project, and something endearing about [...]

LOL.

…and my midterms are over too!
After calling what feels like a thousand companies for a number of different works, I finally got the rights to ONE book! I can’t help but be pretty proud of myself as it is hard to get someone on the phone when I call T-Mobile about my cell phone bill, [...]

As this is a personal blog and not a website for profit that I advertise, I’m always perplexed as to how people come across it. I’ve made lasting friendships both online and offline…and it still amazes me where you all are from! Some of my latest hits in the past two days have been from:
Yorba [...]

You know, I’d think it’d be quite hard to take a saint like St. Francis of Assisi with all of his spiritual intellect and charismatic gifts and turn him into a flower field-skipping hippie. But that’s exactly what the makers of the film Brother Sun Sister Moon did to poor, poor St. Francis.
I watched the [...]

Mom and Dad, that’s who! (Who else?)
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that I do watch a lot of MTV. But every so often my viewership is justified when MTV produces one of its more socially conscious shows…(Gs to Gents anyone?)
At the moment MTV has a new show out entitled “Sex…With Mom & Dad” where teens [...]

And I know for a fact I have readers in both states…there will be screenings of “The Human Experience” in the next few days.

An American Carol beat out Religulous this weekend for #8 at the box office. It’s not very impressive given that Religulous had half the amount of theaters…but I think it still deserves a good “tee hee hee.” A film like that will only slide down the charts, though I’m sure it will end up [...]

Sean McGaughey has posted episode #8 of the Catholic Media Round Up in which I talk a little bit about this blog, Modestia, Pilgrims, and Hollywood in general.
I would like to publicly thank Sean for highlighting my projects.
Pax Christi, Rebecca.

Although I have not blogged in a few days, I am happy to report that I have been a very busy bee and “everything” is back on track.
Pilgrims is no longer postponed as I have overcome the technological issues I was having. I should have a better idea of when I can announce a new [...]
