A conversation on faith & culture for creatives, leaders & influencers
I took my son and wife to see Transformers and it was such a fun ride. My son Ethan, who is 9, was at the edge of his seat for the entire 144 minutes! And, the boy in me was satisfied with heroic plot lines and explosions and fights and car chases.
Any of you see this yet?
What fun! My blogging friend Ben will love this. Star Wars stamps from the USPS. My favorite is the Storm Trooper stamp, but you can vote for your favorite, too. There is also a line of shipping boxes with the Star Wars theme. Check out the site here: USPS Jedi Master
HT: The Hosh
The movie 300 is truly a powerful film. I got to see it on opening night with friends in a packed house. If you cannot stomach violence, don’t see it. There’s lots of skin with chiseled warriors dismembering and slashing in most scenes. However, the visual effects used in the story-telling were stunning, even though I think a couple of the scenes were obscene to say the least. The full history behind the film is equally interesting as the film. Apparently, according to a History Channel special entitled The Last Stand of the 300, the navy of Greece was what really saved the day. This was indeed hinted in the film, at least. Here is post from Ethos blog on this film: A History Lesson?

Check out this great film short. Very moving!
(Below is a copy of a post from Randy Elrod of ETHOS)
"Taken" was created for the 48 Hour Film Project in Nashville, TN by Radiate Films… (Randy Elrod’s daughter Paige and her very talented husband, Ben).
Radiate had an amazing team of 15 crew and cast that gave up sleeping and eating for 48 hours.
To keep the teams honest, genre, a line of Dialogue, a prop, and a character were given at the start of the 48 hours.
*Were the same for all films. Watch the entire six minute movie HERE NOW. (You must have Quicktime-if you don’t have it-you can download it at the "Taken" site above.)
