Today with Michael Voris, the Founder and President of St. Michael's Media who will be joining Iowans for the 2nd Annual Faith Matters Conference drew a comparison between GM and the Church.
Steven Greydanus of decentfilms.com joined Bill and Rich to give an overview of films from the month of May.
Steven enthusiastically recommended "UP" and "Star Trek".
"UP" is the latest film from Pixar. It's a computer animated film that is an adventure/comedy/heartbreaking love story. It is about a senior citizen and a young boy who go on an adventure to Africa. The old man is a widower and is grieving for his wife. It's a beautiful story and Steven highly recommended it.
"Star Trek" is staged to be the prequel to the original Star Trek series and tells the story of how Kirk, Spock and Bones meet. This movie is for OLDER AUDIENCES, but is also recommmended by Steven. Steven also said that since JJ Abrams, the director is really a Star Wars fan, not really a Star Trek, this movie is accessable to even those who have never seen Star Trek before.
Movies to watch out for and stay away from include: "Angels and Demons" and "National Treasure: Night at the Smithsonian." If you're trying to decide which film to take your children to, definitely go to "UP."

Eric Genuis is a piano compuser and composes music of all kinds. He travels around the country and internationally sharing his music with different solists. He will be performing in Australia soon. Prior to each piece he will give the story behind what inspired it. One of his pieces he wrote for his daughter who has down sindrome.
After playing his music, he gives a philosophically stimulating talk about art and culture. When he goes into the schools to talk to kids, he points out that those who walk around with iPods a majority of the day are filling themselves with music daily. The question becomes, what kind of music. Later he went on to say that the beauty of music is what draws us into an encounter with the Almighty. Indeed, Beauty itself is the language of God. The purpose of Eric's music is to move people closer to God.
