Fleeting Thoughts…

Last updated on: January 19, 2006 at 11:33 am By Barbara Nicolosi

I’m still on hiatus, really…but wanted to pass on a few thoughts about some entertainment projects out there, as well as some upcoming events. —————– Munich – Saw this finally last night. Um, wow. It seems to me that this film has to be reckoned the best of the year. (Of course, I haven’t seen the “gay GWTW,” yet, and I guess – in my role as sewer inspector for the Kingdom of God – I will have to…but I... Read more

Making Better Music

Last updated on: January 18, 2006 at 10:58 am By Barbara Nicolosi

Just passing on an email message I received… ————- What teens and young adults hear on the radio and see on television has an incredible capacity to mold their worldview, a power which the media relentlessly abuses in propagating secularism and moral relativism, even perversion. The result has been the forging of one of the world’s largest and most needy unchurched youth mission fields, and it is right here in Massachusetts. One year ago, at the urging of some friends...

A Hollywood Theologian?

Last updated on: January 16, 2006 at 12:44 pm By Barbara Nicolosi

One of the things I do lately – while waiting for Clare S. to make time for being my writing partner again (sigh…) – is create course syllabi. On Monday nights I teach catechesis for Hollywood converts and updaters at Family Theater Productions (which is owned and operated by Holy Cross Family Ministries, the life project of Ven. Fr. Patrick Peyton.) On Tuesday mornings I teach theology for the Los Angeles Film Study Center, which is a semester in Hollywood... Read more

Request for prayer…

Last updated on: January 16, 2006 at 10:02 am By Barbara Nicolosi

Dear Barb, For two years, we in Delaware have been fighting legislation that would allow the destruction of existing frozen human embryos as well as the cloning and then destruction of new human embryos, all for research purposes. Our opponents expected to pass this legislation easily, but have been defeated at each stage by unexpectedly strong opposition. On January 12, the proponents of Senate Bill 80 (SB80) postponed what was to have been the final vote on this bill in... Read more

Learn Screenwriting – in Vegas, baby!

Last updated on: January 10, 2006 at 2:27 pm By Barbara Nicolosi

Act One is holding one of its world famous Screenwriting Weekends in Vegas next month. Strangely, I ended up getting one of the faculty slots (did I say ‘slots’?) for the weekend, along with my friend and Act One faculty and Board member Jan “the Maven” Batchler.

Barb on Narnia to Pittsburgh

Last updated on: January 9, 2006 at 10:20 am By Barbara Nicolosi

Here is a nice piece about Narnia which appeared in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. I found the journalist, Ann Rodgers, very enjoyable to talk to as she was completely uncynical. In the MSM, an uncynical journalist is two levels beyond very rare! Here’s the snip with me in it… Christopher Mitchell, executive director of the Marion E. Wade Center, has lectured on Lewis for sponsors as diverse as the Smithsonian Institution and the Kazakh-American Free University in Kazakhstan. “Non-religious audiences... Read more

Breakpoint Chimes In

Last updated on: January 9, 2006 at 9:40 am By Barbara Nicolosi

The encouraging reviews for our first Act One book, Behind the Screen, continue to roll in. Here is an enthusiastic thumbs-up from professor Alex Wainer, a reviewer for Chuck Colson’s Breakpoint. A snip… My personal favorite of all the fine articles in the book is Scott Derrickson’s “A Filmmaker’s Progress.” Derrickson’s most recent film, the critically praised The Exorcism of Emily Rose, demonstrates that he has achieved a prominence in mainstream filmmaking to which others aspire without compromising his faith....
