Not reviewing movies, but the churches and clergy in movies. http://www.moviechurches.com/
Really, it's probably best to buy 3 copies of Cheers and Amen, a 50 State tour of bars and churches. One for you, another for your pastor, one for your bartender. amazon.com/Cheers-Amen-ye…
#Bales2024FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 27 - Someone naps or sleeps in a film Back to the Future (1985) Who do you know who sleeps like Calvin Klein?
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 26: Boys' Night Out Collateral (2004) New friends Max (Jamie Fox) and Vincent (Tom Cruise) go clubbing.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 25 - Girl's Trip Thelma & Louise The trip started as a lark, to a fishing cabin. It didn't stay that way. (Susan and Geena did meet the young Brad Pitt which would have been a good story to look back on, if not, well, you know..)
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 23 - Character in hospital Good Night, Nurse! (1918) Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle gave Buster Keaton his start. After Arbuckle's infamous scandal, Keaton gave him work.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 24 - Beach scene Back to the Beach (1987) Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello made this beach reunion film two decades after they made their original beach films. That was nearly four decades ago.
Martin Short on first meeting Steve Martin: ‘I walked into his house and it was so beautiful. There were Picassos and Hoppers on the wall & I said to him ‘how did you get that rich because I’ve seen your work?’
#Bales2025FilmChallenge July 21: Post a character pigging out Cool Hand Luke (1967) He ate 50 eggs. With the current cost, this film could never be remade.
Still have not found one mainstream news outlet that reported on this. Also, you will note the relative silence from certain influencers. I will let you draw your own conclusions about why that is…
Reports from last week that Pastor Khalid Mezher, leader of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church, in Sweida, Syria was massacred along with 20 of his family members when Islamist militants invaded his home.
Mamdani is a commie in theory . He has no clue what is alike to live in a gov guaranteed community housing. I did, growing up in Mao’s China with 7 other workers’ families sharing one restroom, one water faucet. I love living in the house we own in NH.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 16 - Someone complains about prices in a movie Pulp Fiction (1994)
I've been rewatching Band of Brothers and every time I see Producer Mary Richards in the credits, I think Mary parlayed her experience working at WJM News into a gig at HBO.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 14 - Beverage in a film What - No Beer? (1933) Prohibition ended December 5, 1933. But this film had Jimmy Durante and Buster Keaton enjoying the forbidden drink when the film was released February 10, 1933.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge July 13: Filmed in National Park The Long, Long Trailer (1953) I Love Lucy ran from 1951 - 1957 and continues in syndication, but some people paid to see Desi and Lucy as Nick and Tacy on the big screen in Yosemite.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge July 10: Poolside Palm Springs (2020) You can see poolsides in both pictures here. This may be one of the best movies to come out Ground Zero Pandemic Year. Which is a pretty low bar.
Amen to that.
Politics matters. And God doesn't take political season off. But if you're a pastor with a pulpit you have an infinitely more important thing to say - even if you've said it a million times - than any commentary about the 2 people running for whatever office.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 9: Passport in film Bon Voyage! (1962) The worst kind of film is arguably a 60's Sex Comedy. What could be worse? A Disney Sex Comedy. Such a bad film (and over 2 hours long!) Back in the day you could get a family passport.
#Bales2025FilmChallenge @JanuaryMovie July 8 - Luggage in a film What's Up, Doc? (1972) Four suitcases are the MacGuffin in the film. One contains musical rocks, another top-secret government documents, precious jewels in another, and the last has clothes and a dictionary.
