Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber: Will it last?

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber: Will it last?

By Fr. Ernest Daly on September 22, 2011

They’ve been an item for about six months now. Teen hearthrobs Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber seem like an almost ideal cou­ple. They share the same val­ues. They both have suc­cess­ful careers. They are both beau­ti­ful. And it is obvi­ous that they are both very attracted to each other. So will it last? That depends […]

Sarah’s Key

Sarah’s Key

By Fr. Ernest Daly on August 31, 2011

Captain America

Captain America

By Fr. Ernest Daly on August 29, 2011

The Smurfs

The Smurfs

By Fr. Ernest Daly on August 25, 2011

Fan­tas­tic movie for it’s fam­ily val­ues and light-​​​​hearted fun, but it is almost ruined by a bit of gross humor in a scene about the cat cough­ing up some traces of the Smurfs for the bad guy. The scene is totally unnec­es­sary, or could have been done in another way. I. See the movie, though. […]

The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life

By Fr. Ernest Daly on June 20, 2011

This is an exper­i­men­tal film that tries to por­tray a Chris­t­ian mes­sage in a poetic and dif­fer­ent way, but is way too long and com­pli­cated. Take out the long part about the cre­ation of the uni­verse. Leave in the human drama: just that part alone would have made a great movie and com­mu­ni­cated the message […]
