on saturday jen and i set to see volver but it was full so we ended up seeing little miss sunshine instead. you simply must see it - laugh out loud. sort of in the same vein as napoleon dynamite - brilliant. the audience burst out in spontaneous applause at the end which i don't remember happening since i went to see lord of the rings.

worship tricks
where i come across creative ideas, liturgies, movies, music tracks, service outlines or anything that strikes me, i add them as worship tricks. i started these in april 2002 when i first began blogging and they have built up over the years so that i am now on the third series. this has proved a pretty popular feature of the blog.

jonny, hannah and I saw it a few weeks back and thought exactly the same. We had laughed like that in ages.

Ditto from New Orleans. Same with the applause. Phenomenal movie.

I am hoping heaven is like the family dance at the pagent.

Tis a smashing film Jonny. I think what makes it brilliant is that it isn't just a smooze fest where you can predict the ending. also the fact that it is really just exaduration of many family expreiences but all put into one moment. A prize winning film one would hope.
Warm Regards Ever

the wife and I have been meaning to go see it. We did see the illusionist and besides the crappy accents we were really happy we did.

dysfunctionally funny family film - yep it sounds a lot like heaven :)

loved this film funniest dance scene since palindromes or napoleon dynamite and the pagent was made all the more disturbing as we saw it just after the jonbenet court case.
