Is This What Happens When We Die?
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) In a discussion, today, the topic turned to what happens when a person dies of a heart attack, just before his car crashes into a barrier on Hwy 400. His consciousness would go on, … Continue reading
Has the World Finally Turned a Corner?
Oscar Winner for Best Picture: Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) Was it just me, or did it seem that the Academy Awards show last weekend honoured a lot of strange people? By ‘strange’ I mean ‘outside our normal parameters’. … Continue reading

The Murder Case that Inspired the Plot of “The Fugitive”
Dr. Sam Sheppard (December 29, 1923 – April 6, 1970) I wouldn’t have thought to even look at this event, if it hadn’t been for this quote from “Denial of Justice”. There is a lot of Q & A in … Continue reading

And Speaking of Star-Crossed Lovers:
The Allegory of Romeo and Juliet I often bandy the term allegory about when it comes to how to read the Bible. I may have come to this conclusion quite honestly, just ask my uncle Philo. But we are so … Continue reading

When the Spirits are Willing, But the Script is Weak
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022) It makes me wonder why we need yet another adaptation of this story, but I guess it’s embedded in our consciousness and the only way to remind ourselves about what the true meaning of Christmas … Continue reading

Subtle Clue? She’s “Home Alone” Too
Enola Holmes 2 (2022) I know, I know, I’ve hinted at the anagram Enola being “Alone” in reverse before. So, what do I think of this second instalment? Not much: I was bored by the fifteen-minute mark. Obviously, I am … Continue reading

Young Man, You’re in the Army Now!
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) This is probably the first time I’ve seen a film about what it was like for a German foot soldier during the Great War. It wasn’t a great war, at least not on … Continue reading

Angel of Death or the Devil in Disguise?
Charles Cullen (February 22, 1960) I’m not being facetious, here. The man at the centre of the film “The Good Nurse” is a very conflicted person. There are hints as to what made him the way he is, but astrology … Continue reading

Who Says You Cannot Know When You’ll Die?
Final Destination (2000) The idea that your death is predestined is the premise behind this film (and the other films in the franchise). You cannot ‘cheat death’ although we like to think we can: when your number’s up, it’s up. … Continue reading

We Were Born on the Same Day, Six Years Apart
Alice Walker (February 9, 1944) I seem to be coming to the table, late again. I adored The Color Purple as a movie. I never read the book. I never heard of its author before today. (Thank you, David Icke’s … Continue reading
