Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem. ~MICHIO KAKU, Wired Magazine, Aug. 2003
People who have lived 100 years or more have seen vast changes in culture over the course of their life times. I have witnessed, in merely a half century, so many developments in technology. Over the course of about 125 years, moviemaking has gone through huge transformations from the silent movie era to a time when many visual effects are less often created by man-made stunts.
And imagine it, audio sounds are even created digitally through the use of computer technology. This has allowed for unbelievable creativity; providing the ability to pull things off visually that would be too unsafe, too expensive or not logistically possible otherwise.
Sometimes I feel as if I am living in a world that is alien. Because my livelihood depends upon it, I attempt as best as I can to keep up with new advancements in digital technology. Time travel movies help me realize that although sometimes this world seems to change at too rapid a pace and it is strangely different from the times of my youth, we have yet to go through truly apocalyptic times. That ‘s reassuring.
Feel like taking a trip this weekend to a different time and place? www.totalfilm.com has featured 50 of the best time travel movies on their website. http://bit.ly/12G7DKw .
Take in one of these movies. I’m warning you. Nostalgic feelings may set in when you read the titles of some of the films and you will probably see difference in the way visual effects are produced in this day and age, also. Remember Planet of the Apes from 1968? http://bit.ly/ViZw6F .

“I am who I am because of the choices I made yesterday.” ~ Unknown
Four words with powerful meaning -
• I AM
• I CAN
• I WILL
• I DO
help define and fulfill our sense of self. These words took on even greater meaning when I began working in the independent publishing industry.
Those simple words that have kept me on track. Every time I’ve faced a challenge, and thought “I’m going to try to,” I’ve substituted it with one the four important self-fulfilling statements, and then taken the necessary action that is required to complete the task or challenge.
Used to be independent publishers had to go it alone, but things have changed in the publishing industry. According to an article dated 11-11-12 in the Miami Herald, http://hrld.us/17bIrAH, Bowker (the storehouse of publishing statistics) says independent publishing “has nearly tripled, growing 287% since 2006 and 236,625 print and e-titles” were non-traditionally published in 2011 alone. Since then, the e-book industry has prospered further and print-on-demand publishing has grown also.
The stigma behind independent publishing of books, films and movies has nearly disappeared, as standards and technology for desktop publishing have improved. In this day and age, it is often difficult to distinguish between an independent and traditionally published book.
If you are considering an independent publishing project, now there is help and support available. I am, I can, I will and I do help people understand the newest generation of publishing through the webinar On the Fast Track: The Independent Publishing Industry http://bit.ly/10cCp1Y and through the information provided on All Things Fulfilling. Join us regularly on this on-line site.

“Your intellect may be confused but your emotions never lie to you.” ~ Roger Ebert
Siskel and Ebert, Leonard Maltin, some of the most well-known film critics of our time. Yesterday, Roger Ebert passed away at 70 years of age. Leonard Maltin said of Ebert’s death “The thing I’m remembering now, most, is his bravery,” referring to the health challenges he faced in recent years.
Can you imagine how many hours Ebert spent over the course of his forty-six year career in the screening room? His passion was watching movies and critiquing them. A fulfilling career but, not every production he watched was worthy of his attention. I’m sure he viewed his fair share of movies that were poorly edited, had holes in the plot, scripts without continuity, casting mistakes, visual effects blunders and acting goofs.
His film reviews were highly regarded. Albeit sometimes very spirited and outspoken in his independent thoughts, he was the first film critic to win a Pulitzer Prize. Roger Ebert was also author of twenty books, including I Hated, Hated, Hated this Movie.
The 15th annual Ebert Film Festival begins on April 17 at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois. What Ebert called “one of the most beautiful films ever made,” Terrence Malick’s 1978 “Days of Heaven” will appropriately open the film festival. It won an Oscar for best cinematography.
To read more about this man who had a bright mind, a very observant eye and did so much to promote good films and the art of good filmmaking, please visit his website http://www.rogerebert.com/.

“Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the window which hope has opened” ~ Charles Spurgeon
To many people around the world, preparing for Easter means more than shopping for Peeps™ candy, jelly beans, chocolate eggs and other confections. Spring is the season of renewal of spirit. For people of faith, that means remembering the Easter story of biblical times – a tale of crucifiction, death, resurrection and life.
On this Film Friday, I have resurrected a list of the top ten Easter movies of all times. Although Easter is several weeks away, perhaps your family would enjoy receiving one of these films in their Easter basket. I am posting this list early so you can add one of these DVDs to your shopping cart. Many of them are considered to be epic productions and can be located, and your order can be fulfilled through the Internet Movie Database www.imdb.com :
- Passion of Christ (2004)
- The Robe (1953)
- Ben Hur (1959)
- Holiday Inn (1942)
- Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
- King of Kings (1961)
- The Easter Parade (1948)
- Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
- Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
- The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)
It’s interesting, as I was doing research for this blog I noticed that most of these films were produced decades ago. Is it true that the American people have fallen out of favor with the one of the cornerstone principles that our country was founded upon, faith? Is that why contemporary filmmakers are not approaching religious subjects? I’d like to think not, and Reelz is offering outstanding programming over the Easter Season.
Barabbas: Where the Bible Left off…His Story of Redemption Began, a Reelz Easter Event, premiers Monday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 26. Part I of the mini-series, featuring Billy Zane, will be broadcast on the night of March 30 and Part II on March 31. To find out the times and the channel for Reelz in your viewing area, please visit this link . There is also a trailer on the Reelz website .http://www.reelz.com/barabbas/.

“ Art is not what you see but what you make others see.” ~ Degas
A life was changed on Academy Award night, when Inocente, a documentary film about a homeless girl and her passion for art, won an Oscar. Indeed, despite a dark and lonely past, Izucar, the subject of this real life story, has created a bright world around herself through her colorful art. Her unwillingness to give up on life and her belief in sharing her art with others has made for an inspiring story.
Husband and wife filmmakers, Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine decided to focus on the plight of Inocente Izucar when they met her through their involvement with artist Matt D’Arrigo and founder ARTS(A Reason to Survive), “a non-profit organization that focuses on using art as a form of therapy and healing, for children and young adults struggling with major life challenges..
According to the National Center on Family Homelessness, 1 out of every 45 children live a transient lifestyle, floating from street to motel to shelters to living out of cars. This number has increased 33% in the past three years alone. http://usat.ly/YtbFoP.
Izucar is representative of all youth who have discovered that their brightest moments in an hour or a day comes when they are exploring different mediums of art. For many, it is the only thing that gives them a positive reason to live.
To read more about this inspirational independent film and the documentary filmmakers, please visit this link. http://inocentedoc.com/. This DVD can be ordered through the Internet Movie Database http://imdb.to/W9lsUB.

“Great is the human who has not lost his childlike heart.” ~ Mencius (Meng-Tse) 4th Century BCE
Our blogs over the past few days have been devoted to e-books and the use of digital technology, design and typographyics enhancing electronic literature for adults and children. There are strong arguments for and against using e-books to teach children to read.
A former Pixar designer and Moonbot Studios are developing animated children’s books along with William Joyce author of, “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.” The app for these books is ingratiated with the latest technology and really open one’s eye to the potential of e-book development.
Even if you are not interested in reading e-books, you can still appreciate the wonder of science and technology and how the world of publishing is evolving. Check out this video to get a glimpse into how books and movies are coming together for a new generation of readers. http://bit.ly/140sUz4 .
To read more about Moonbot Studios and the creative and innovative e-books they are designing for children, please visit this link.http://bit.ly/140tahu.

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” ~ Unknown
At the beginning of the week I posted a blog called Bundled Energy. The gist of the writing was that positive energy brings good things about. If you missed it, here is the link. http://bit.ly/XirgZP.
Twenty five years ago, a bundle of joy, was placed in my arms, swaddled in a blanket. A gift that has showered my husband and me with blessings in so many ways. What a pleasure it has been to watch our bundle of energy grow and develop, from newborn to an adult, now thriving of his own accord. Our dreams have been fulfilled and the arrival that day was the birth of our son.
Today, we wish Marc a fantastic Film Friday, although for him, everyday is Film Friday. In retrospect, with the path his life has taken, perhaps he should have arrived between the covers of a DVD. Just kidding! http://bit.ly/UJrK73.
Happy 25th Birthday, Marc, on Monday! We are overwhelmed by our love for you and you make us proud, everyday. Have a wonderful year ahead and enjoy the Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Embracing Life and Career in N.M.
Putting his energy to work & reaping the rewards of staying focused on his dreams.
Appreciate the gift of every day – ordinary and extraordinary!

Film Friday: The Oscars
“Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.” ~ Wim Wenders
Say! Look at that! I have been invited to the Oscars this year. The Academy award winning movies and the range of nominations is extensive from best picture, to best actor/actress, to best animated feature, best editor, top visual effects and sound artists and so much more – a total of twenty four categories.
Here is a list of nominees for best feature film. How many did you get the opportunity to see?
- Silver Linings Playbook
- Lincoln
- Zero Dark Thirty
- Amour
- Beasts of the Southern Wild
- Django Unchained
- Les Miserables
- Argo
- Life of Pi
I did not get a chance to see all of these films but of those I saw, my personal favorite was Les Miserables, without a doubt. Most disappointing? Life of Pi, however, the visual effects were fulfilling; perhaps a prize will come in that category.
Did you know there is an official Oscars app. that can be downloaded so you will not miss any of the action? Thanks to the digital age, anyone in any community with internet coverage can get exclusive video and the latest news on the Oscars. To learn more about the app for your cell phone, please visit http://oscar.go.com/.
Have a great weekend everyone, I am hoping to take in one more movie on the list this weekend, and that would be Lincoln. From the great reviews it has gotten, my favorite pick may be changed once I see it.

“No heart has ever suffered when it has gone in search of its dream.” ~ Paul Coelho
February is Happy Heart Month! Over the course of the past month, messages from inspirational books and films have been at the core of our minister’s sermons at the UnitedMethodistChurch in Steamboat. Many people without religious backgrounds have read and appreciated these books also. They have been New York Times bestsellers.
Here are the titles:
The authors of each of these books have created stories that take the reader on a journey into their own hearts, in search of the meaning of life and the Universe. Thought provoking, illuminating and inspiring, they raise awareness of some of the best parts of human nature, as well as stir up more difficult issues we are faced with as people who were created with faults, weaknesses and a full range of emotions that run from admirable to undesireable.
All four of these books are back listed but can most likely be found in your local library because they are so popular or they can be ordered through Amazon.com. Check the Internet Movie Database www.imdb.com for the film adaptations.
The truth of the matter is that good books and films give us reason to stop and ponder. If you are searching for good reads with thought provoking content, check these books out.

People who have lived 100 years or more have seen vast changes in culture over the course of their life times. I have witnessed, in merely a half century, so many developments in technology. Over the course of about 125 years, moviemaking has gone through huge transformations from the silent movie era to a time when many visual effects are less often created by man-made stunts.
