In case you hadn’t figured it out, Pilgrims is postponed. My aim is to have the first episode up by next Friday. Eventually, I will tell you why it was postponed, but for now just say a prayer and smile…because it’s a darned good reason.

It looks really good. I’m going to try to get in contact with the filmmakers.
Big thanks to Saint School for the tip.

The comment fest on the post “This is the franchise that doesn’t end…” has prompted me to write another post on some of the questions I received.
My main point about the new “Bella” book and the “Bella” movie phenomenon in general is that while I was and still am happy about the film’s success, I [...]

…yes it goes on and on my friend…
Let me preface this post by saying that I really did like “Bella.” In fact, I still like “Bella.” Since I purchased the DVD while I was waiting to see Prince Caspian a few weeks ago, I have watched the film a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it [...]

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised:
Bella is the No. 1 pre-sale romantic movie on Amazon.com. The pro-life film, which is available on DVD today, earned the “People’s Choice Award” at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival.
Eduardo Verastegui, the star of Bella, told CBN News: “I think it’s a wonderful tool to spread the word [...]

“Bella” hits stores today. If you go by bus, air, Ebay–whatever…just go get it. Congrats to the entire Metanoia team.
And as a random aside, congratulations to Joshua and Shannon of The Perseverance Podcast who are celebrating their third wedding anniversary today. Three cheers for Catholic love!
Pax Christi, Rebecca.

UPDATE #3: The site is back up. Vote for Chris!
Update #2: The website is down to fix the problem. I’ll let you know when it’s up again.
UPDATE: Apparently there’s a kink in the website’s system. Chris told me that there are a number of people who think they voted but whose votes weren’t [...]

I’m publishing this waaaaaay later than originally intended, but here it is, the Q&A from “The Human Experience” screening. I realize that this isn’t a legit vlog episode, but since I had to edit it, I’ve decided that it should count for at least half of an episode. (Lol!)
After watching the film, listening to the [...]

My favorite by far was “Wrinkles in Time”, winner of the high school category. It was a documentary by homeschooler Nathanial Sharpe, that expressed [...]

So I finally saw it! And I did enjoy it.
The film follows two brothers, Cliff and Jeff Azize (who also work for Grassroots Films) as they travel the world to try to understand what it means to be human. It’s quite a lofty concept to undertake in 90 minutes, but to do so the brothers [...]
