Although we were not meeting Luisa at the bank until 11:00 o’clock, we arrived in Marsciano early the next morning to wander around town. From a nearly home-owner’s perspective, we looked at everything anew. Marsciano was going to be our “home town” in Italy, where we would shop, attend community events, the weekly market, dine in restaurants and make new friends. As we did with Johannes, we parked the car near the community elevator and took the lift up to the center of town. We nodded our heads

A NOT-SO-ACCURATE prophet once wrote, "As recently as 1972, there were a tremendous number of quality Westerns being made . . . and since there seems to be a ten-year cycle in Western movie making, I'd say we'll see more in about 1982." 1 In 1982 only two Westerns were released, and neither was exactly a major success.

Abstract There is always a book or movie that we cannot wait to know what the plot or twist will be. The bible has many plots, twist and deceit that are true. The only major point that stands out to me is our relationship with God. When reading the Bible one thing for sure Jesus is the star, main character. All the men that wrote the Bible at every age and stage of life and all of them had the same message, obey God. The entire Bible is God’s revelation of himself. We need to see more of the

“We live in the trenches out there. We fight. We try not to be killed, but sometimes we are. That's all.” Paul Bäumer, the main protagonist of the movie, “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Existence on this earth has turned out to be one of the worst decisions that human kind has ever grasped on. We take a glimpse of the world around us and see nothing but hatred, detestation and greed surrounding our human lives. The main factor for revulsion to be brought up is the power that leaders want to take

Heartless Motherland Last week, or in the previous book, whatever came first, I gave you a hint that, as did the Brazilian columnist Arthur Dapieve — with whom, incidentally, I had a serious misunderstanding last year and did not even tell you —, it was time for me to give myself a well-deserved break in order to clear my head. But my life has been very tense, therefore, how could I lose an opportunity to eviscerate such tensions in public? Alan received a phone call and left the house early, to

viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average. The clay only gave the story more credibility, others might differ in their opinion about that, but I think if it were played by real actors it would be less believable, (saying the tale itself was based on a true story). Love this movie. I cried a much needed cry that I wasn't able to do for

Koyaanisqatsi Koyaanisqatsi, sometimes titled Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance, was directed by American director Godfrey Reggio. The film deals with the relationship between humans and nature entirely through the contrast between the music and the visuals. The tone of each scene relies purely on composer Philip Glass' score to aid what's being shown on screen and provide meaning to what's taking place. Because there are no conventional story ideas or dialogue, the film takes its message

I felt as if we were in a charming Italian movie. How could this possibly be real? Our lunch was more delicious than the first time we dined at this restaurant and our conversation was more spirited. We vowed to take Italian lessons as soon as we returned to California. Instead of relinquishing

Being the sibling of a rising, hot Hollywood starlet is not the glamorous role that it seems. Well, alright, the parties and freebies and constant spotlight on your family does have its perks. Not to mention all the access to every hedonistic desire you could want, practically whenever you want it. But there is a downside to it as well: the stepping out of the shot for photo calls, the 3rd tier seating at awards shows, the neglect by your parents…but I digress. For the sake of my all access pass
