As I was researching for something to say about Thanksgiving, I came across this profound thought from a young teenager.
“I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of [...]

The Brothers Grimm
Posted in Movie Reviews, tagged movies on December 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Last night, I saw “The Brothers Grimm,” a Terry Gilliam movie. First of all, I’m quite impressed with the cinematography. The way they filmed it makes you feel like you’re there with the brothers. Angles and camera sweeps are “realistic”, especially in the scene of The Red Riding Hood. The colors in the setting are [...]
Faith Club

Recently, I read The Faith Club by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver and Priscilla Warner. These three women represent the following religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism. When I started to read this book, I couldn’t put it down. Each woman had an interesting perspective, and all three of them were striven to understand each other’s religion. [...]
Medea

Today, I went to Richmond to see “Medea.” I thoroughly enjoyed watching the play since it’s been a while for me to see a play with deaf actors. The interesting thing about the play was that there were several levels of communication between Medea and other characters. For example, her husband, Jason, did it in [...]
Nalaga’at

I found this really cool theatre group via Deaf Digest (www.deafdigest.com). Nalaga’at, “do touch,” is a theatre group of 12 people who have Usher’s syndrome. (Those who have Usher’s tend to be blind and deaf.) They are based in Jerusalem, and have already traveled around the world. Their current performance is called “Light is heard [...]
Gil Eastman & Deaf Mosaic
Posted in Deaf Culture, tagged deaf on December 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I just received the news that Gil Eastman has passed away yesterday. He died of cancer. I grew up watching the television program called “Deaf Mosaic” in which he was a co-host. I loved that program, and that was where I learned so much about deaf history and culture, considering the fact that [...]
John Irving’s books

I have read three of his books: The World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany and Cider House Rules. I have to say that A Prayer for Owen Meany is the best of the three. All of them are good books; all of them have been made into movies. I have only [...]
D-PAN

Deaf Performing Artists Network, D-PAN, is a non-profit organization that makes music videos for the deaf and hard of hearing. One video that they have recently produced is called “Where’d you go,” a song by Fort Minor. Deaf performing artists signed the song like it’s a music video. This is my first time seeing [...]
Review of Dreamcatcher

I recently got “Dreamcatcher” in the mail from Blockbuster.com. Somehow that movie got into my queue. I am not a fan of Stephen King, nor will I ever be. (Sorry Stephen King fans!) I watched the movie anyway. I never read any of his horror books; I have started to read the Dark Towers series. [...]
