Light of the World- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

It's a new year, and I've decided to start fresh. New attitude, new motivations, new professional pursuits. I'm going to be writing more regularly, and hopefully you'll be reading more regularly as well!

My wife and I recently watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and I came away impressed

Voting for the Best Candidate!

Your vote counts. Each weekend, millions of Americans go to the box office and vote for the movies they think are worthy of being model examples for the kinds of movies they would like to see in future 'elections'. Eric Bumpus talks with CFS contributor Mikel Wisler about how your dollar matters and what you can do to ensure better movies are made.

Light of the World- Truth in Advertising

Title: Light of the World Truth in Advertising

I was seriously contemplating taking the week off from blogging. I was having a hard time figuring out what to write about. I haven't watched any really interesting movies lately, and other than Terra Nova, my television viewing pretty much revolves around sports. I had other things I'd rather do, but then I saw a pair of commercials last night that I thought would be a great starting point.

It's that time of year again! Time for networks to unveil their fall TV lineups and introduce us to new shows and bring back our old favorites. Time for our friends at Fox to start a new series that will be preempted for three weeks by baseball never to return because they failed to gain a 10 share in the [archaic and ridiculous] Nielsen ratings.

Traditionally, I have boycotted Fox's new offerings because of this failing strategy.

Light of the World – Bar Rescue

I recently switched my schedule at work, which allows for consecutive days off for the first time in over three years! That's a positive in more ways than just allowing for the extra rest because I also have more time and energy to devote to writing. It also allows me to get my routine established for the week, and I'm pretty big on routine! My routine goes a little something like this: take the dog out, exercise, pray morning prayer and read the daily Mass readings, eat breakfast while watching SportsCenter/channel surfing, do chores and write/study/prepare lessons for Catechism.

Light of the World - The Day That Fahrenheit 9/11 Changed the World

Ten years ago, we woke up to a different world. A world where peace and security were threatened by the actions of 19 men acting on behalf of a terrorist organization. When we woke up we wondered if and when the events we witnessed the day before could and would happen again. Ten years have come and gone since 9/11/01, and most Americans spent yesterday reflecting and reminiscing. I am no exception, and these are my reflections.
