The History of Halloween Revisited

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

written by: Pastor James Harleman
Let’s just confess: I like to dress up. As a drama geek in high school and an actor in college theater, it was inevitable. My wife and I even met in a production of Brigadoon, so wearing costumes – even a kilt – is not really that strange to us. [...]



The Mystery of KNOWING

Monday, October 12th, 2009

“I think movies are a reflection of people’s fears and concerns, and I also think they (movies) try and find answers. They try and explore possiblities as well.” – KNOWING Director Alex Proyas

Ladies Training Day

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Written by Amy Knorr
Someone Hit Pause!
Over the Rhine has this great song called “The world can wait.” Just the simple notion that the world should or could wait for someone or something stirs a longing in my very soul. How wonderful it would be for everything to stop for a moment. How relieving to be [...]

From Vampires to Vamping

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
