It became part of our morning routine to pop in a movie - more often than not it was Tangled - to watch over breakfast. It wasn't long after that I was finally ready to make our first trip to the theater. … Continue Reading …

When reading a book it's easy to see how each word is important to the sentence, paragraph, page, chapter and story. In essence, a book can be broken down into single words. Great writers analyze over each one and a book comes together beautifully. The thing about books, is that we can see that labor as we read it. But when we set down to watch a movie it comes together as millions of frames rolling into one long feature. These frames flow together into a seamless story that draws us for the … Continue Reading …
