A Truly Incredible Hulk of a Movie

Last updated on: June 23, 2008 at 10:24 am By Barbara Nicolosi

So, we can take for granted that somewhere out there in Tinseltown, some Machiavellian studio executive has a collection of really rare original Incredible Hulk comic books. He had his people buy them up back in the early 90’s when the comic book movie thing had hit really big, and he was sure that cornering the market in Hulking memorabilia had him sitting on a gold mine when the big green guy finally made it to the cineplexes. And then... Read more

Dirty Harry On the Move

Last updated on: June 21, 2008 at 10:57 am By Barbara Nicolosi

Cyber-friend and frequently sympatico movie critic Dirty Harry (formerly of Libertas) has a new blog all his own here. You have to love a guy whose mission statement is the following: To what extent this site can, we will promote, aid, and encourage those in the entertainment community doing right by liberty and America. To what extent this site can, we will shame those in the entertainment community still capable of feeling shame into doing right by liberty and America.... Read more

Doing the BSG Fan Thing

Last updated on: June 13, 2008 at 10:33 am By Barbara Nicolosi

So, Wednesday night I attended the ultimate BSG nerddom event with my friends Vicki and Mark (the foolish advocate of lost cause animated panda movies…) It was the Emmy voters screening of Battlestar Galactica‘s “For your consideration” episode – which happens to be the mid-season finale airing tonight, “Revelations.” The showrunner, Ron Moore, actually had us raise our hands in the air and swore us to secrecy upon pain of spoiler hell, so I won’t say anything about the episode...

(Sorry, but you have to give me a couple stars for just how clever that heading is.) I saw this film on its opening Friday a couple weeks ago, and have been wanting to blog about it ever since. I was going to post a mostly positive blog, but then I started reading a lot of what other Christians are writing about the movie and I chickened out. Barb shrugs. I thought it was fun. I went into it as... Read more

Pandamedium

Last updated on: June 1, 2008 at 10:30 pm By Barbara Nicolosi

About thirty minutes into the new feature Kung Fu Panda from Dreamworks animation, I found myself thinking, “Wow, Pixar really IS amazing.” This non-Pixar film has lots of beautiful CGI, but after the added meaning we’re used to from the Nemo/Incredibles/Toy Story people, this movie feels empty – like a Prada suit on a hanger. If we’ve learned anything from Pixar, it’s that even kids movies can have, and indeed, deserve, a meaning. But it is certainly tough to do... Read more

From Barb’s E-Mail Bag

Last updated on: May 24, 2008 at 11:15 am By Barbara Nicolosi

Dear Ms. Nicolosi, Greetings from Alberta, Canada. I have made aware of your work through a variety of sources, beginning with Rob Bagdazian at Thomas Aquinas College and most recently, from Phil Taranger up here in Edmonton, Alberta. I have been following your blog and know a little of Act One, all of which very much peak my interest. Looking at your thoughts and visions, I thought you might be interested to hear of another “act for the cause” up... Read more

Narni-eh

Last updated on: May 20, 2008 at 7:28 am By Barbara Nicolosi

I guess I can say that I was less consumed by tedium during the Prince Caspian movie than I was during The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Of course, it could just be that the latest Narnia entry has an hour less of walking trees and ugly creatures getting impaled on spears by masked evil legions. I am not someone who responds well to endless battle scenes between characters that look like bad halloween costumes. I agree with Dirty Harry... Read more

Here is yet another podcast interview that has just been posted online. This one was done with Tony Rossi for The Christophers web site. I have always felt a close spiritual affinity with The Christophers because of their motto, “It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.” I think that was very much what we were trying to do with Act One, and really, the whole Christians in Hollywood thing. This podcast has me talking... Read more
