CIMA + Projects you can actually support!

On Sunday morning I attended the annual Catholics in Media Associates luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I had never been to the BHH before—that place was sweeeet…and they had hordes of cute valet guys too. That information isn’t pertinent to the post; I just thought I’d share.
Multi-award winning actor Lou Gosset Jr., who I [...]

Review: Watchmen

Note: A handful of people have asked me what I thought about this movie in the last few days, and then I remembered I hadn’t published this post yet…Sorry—
There was a lot of violence. So much so, I had to close my eyes twice. There was a lot of unnecessary sex. Dr. Manhattan couldn’t [...]

Popple Popple Popple!

Popple was at Catholic Underground LA this weekend, which I braved, concussion, whiplash, and all. I did a hilarious interview with them which will be up tomorrow. In the meantime, you can see some photos from the night and check out the crappy, but entertaining, recorded Ustream of the event.
…because the New Evangelization [...]

Yo soy una lucky duck.

Man oh man. I got into a car accident on St. Patrick’s Day, (though this time it wasn’t my fault!)

I definitely appreciate the FB messages I’ve received. Just for clarity’s sake, no I am not seriously injured, and here’s what happened:
The driver of the little Toyota was drunk. He hit a Range Rover but [...]

Love, marriage, & why yes Burton still scares me!

I feel like I’ve seen a zillion movies the past few weeks, which means instead of doing full reviews, I’m doing little ones!
He’s Just Not That Into You
One of my Family Theater girlfriends saw this film at a pre-screening and said that while it was funny, the message was a little off. I think I [...]

The NCR article is up + I’ve run to the border…

The first article I was interviewed for has been posted on the National Catholic Register’s website.  I haven’t read the final copy, so you’ll have to tell me what it says. Big thanks to Celeste Behe for making me sound articulate and NCR editor Tom Hoopes for greenlighting this piece and the forthcoming article.
You [...]

The semi-obligatory “Lessons I Learned” video.

AKA the blooper real from my project.

Just remember, when in doubt, pretend like you’re filming a soap opera.
Pax Christi, Rebecca.

Film School Fun: Directing Class, Project #1

Here’s what you need to know: 
when I screened the project to my class…there was applause. I have no idea why, but I’m not one to question applause.

Truth be told, Will and Tiffani did a great job in elevating the dialogue that was otherwise very corny and awkwardly out of context.
BTW, I didn’t choose the scene, [...]

Dear Jesus, I would like it my way. xoxo, RC.

So, Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. After my return from Congress I was hit by the always friendly influenza.
Congress was well…Congress. Lots of liturgical dancers in ugly tie die shirts paired with moments of “what is that?” but mixed in with a few profoundly spiritual lessons as well. Last year I wrote [...]
