2013 Films in Review
2013 was a great year. Not only was it a year of great movies but also a year where my interest in movies increased. I am really into Podcasts, on a weekly basis I listen to about eight different Podcasts (by the way I don't use the stock Podcast app on iOS or Android to do this, I use an excellent app called Pocketcast). One Podcast that I discovered this year was the /Filmcast. Every week David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and a special guest discuss film news and dive into a film review. I love it. This has increased my love for film. As well I love the experience of the seeing a fresh movie at the theatre.
Films are stories. There is something about being caught up in a story that I can't get enough of. So I present to you my review of this years films.
TOP TEN FILMS OF THE YEAR //
10. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Walking into this movie I was uncertain if it would be a huge disappointment or what it would be. Although it was VERY over the top, I actually thought it was very funny. Basically it was more of the first movie... and I think I'm ok with that.
9. About Time Ok so at this point I think that it is clear that Rachel McAdams loves to star in romantic time travelling movies (In 2009 The Time Traveler's Wife and in 2012 The Vow had similar themes). I enjoyed this one.
8. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire I actually really enjoyed the feeling I had in this movie of suspense and curiosity. I had never read the book series, so I had no idea where it was going. There is something about the feeling of "what is going to happen!" that I really experienced in this movie and I love it. I think if a story can capture me that much they have done a great job.
7. Ender's Game This is another movie where my experience was similar to Catching Fire in that I had never read the book and found myself very curious about what would happen. It was an interesting story with a few unexpected twists, I like that.
6. Jobs Ashton Kutcher, I tip my hat to you. I really enjoyed how Ashton Kutcher portrayed Steve Jobs, he even walked like him. I remember actually being sad that the movie ended when it did because I was caught up in the story and just wanted to hear more. If you haven't seen this one yet, go watch it.
5. Oblivion Post apocalyptic movies were very popular this year. What I loved about this movie was the world building. The way that the director imagined Earth after humanity had left it was brilliant. Check out the trailer.
4. Saving Mr. Banks This movie was simply magical. I love Disney and to watch a movie that was about Disney made by Disney, well that was a treat. It was neat to get a behind the scenes look at how Mary Poppins came to be. As well I can not imagine anyone better than Tom Hanks to play Walt.
"Saving Mr. Banks", I loved it. I would watch it again right now if I could. The film has the magic of Disney that I grew up loving.

3. Monsters University Pixar you have done it again. I LOVED this movie. I saw this movie on my birthday. My lovely fiancé surprised me with a tickets and a whole bunch of awesome friends to see it with.. it was unreal. I think the story was really neat. Rather than a classic animated movie about how if we work really hard we can achieve anything we reach for, it was about the honest truth that we don't always get what we dream of. I like that.
Monsters University: Pixar reminds us again they can deliver an incredibly funny and entertaining story. I rate it 9/10 #IMDb

2. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty As soon as I saw this trailer, I knew I had to see it. Honestly what a great film. I loved every minute of it. Ben Stiller did an excellent job directing and staring in it.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was an excellent comedic adventure. So much to say about it so all I will say is go see it. My rating 9.5/10

oh and it has an excellent soundtrack.
1. Gravity And then it comes down to my number one film of the year. I think Gravity was brilliant. I remember watching the first trailer thinking well I am not that interested in just watching Sandra Bullock float around in space for a couple hours and yet I thought what could they do with this idea? Right when it came out everyone started to talk about it. I saw the movie with my brother Mike and I loved it. This was my first reaction when the movie finished...
Just watched Gravity. It was so good I don't even know what to say.

The way sound was used, or lack there of, was very effective. The way the open black abyss was used was very effective. Ultimately this film was stunning in so many ways for me. As well I enjoyed the depth of Sandra Bullock's character, some found it cheesy but I thought it was a nice add. This is what I was thinking moments after my first reaction tweet and I think this explains why my imagination was so captured by this film...
I hope I get to see Earth from space some day.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS // in no particular order
Her This is a movie by Spike Jonze that I had been anticipated for a long time. I anticipated it because when I watched the trailer it reminded me of a web-only short film by Spike Jonze that he released in 2010 called I'm Here. I'm giving it an honourable mention because I really enjoyed its imagination of the future and I really liked the cinematography. This will probably be a surprise to people that this film didn't make my top ten. I found that there were too many scenes that made me feel uncomfortable (due to lots of sexual content and language) and overall I just thought it was only ok. I think its an interesting concept for a movie and no one could tell this strange story better than Spike Jonze. Its just not a story I'm very interested in.
Man of Steel I wrestled with if this movie deserved to be on my honourable mentions list or my disappointments list. I remember seeing the teaser trailer for this movie awhile back and I was pumped about it. After seeing it I was just left feeling unsatisfied. Why? because it just wasn't nostalgic enough for me. It didn't remind me of that super hero that I grew up loving. They tried to reinvent Super Man, and maybe that is what they felt they needed to do but it just didn't work for me. However I'm giving it an honourable mention because it was still ok to watch.
The Internship You're probably laughing that I actually gave this movie an honourable mention. But I didn't mind it and I love Google.
'The Internship': I think it could have been better but it was still entertaining from beginning to end.

Frozen If I haven't already mentioned, I love animated movies. My favourite animated movies come from Pixar. When I was younger I really enjoyed Disney, these days though its rare that Disney comes out with an animated movie that I actually really enjoy (although I really enjoyed Wreck It Ralph in 2012). This movie though kind of reminded me of good old Disney. Not completely but just a bit. It had singing in it which is something that is very classic Disney. I think I like the singing more now then when I was younger. This movie was't amazing but I thought the talking snowman was funny and it was overall a good time.
The Blue Umbrella This was the short film featured before Monsters University. Only a couple minutes long yet it hit me right in the heart. Watch it.
Star Trek I really don't have much to say about this movie. To be honest I barely remember it. All I remember was thinking that visually it looked awesome, except for all those over used lens flares..
Flight It was late and I decided to fire up the ol' Netflix. Flight staring Denzel Washington had just been added. I actually really enjoyed this movie it was a good drama and really enjoyed Denzel's acting.
Elysium This movie frustrated me even before it had started. Just as the movie was about to beginning I leaned over to my friend who I was watching it with and said, "I bet the movie spends more time on Earth than on then the space ship." And the movie did exactly that. In the trailer they showed all these awesome shots of this cool space ship that the whole movie revolves around and I was so disappointed that not much of the movie even took place on it. I think I was upset with this because I really like space and future tech. Still this movie wasn't so bad.
Elysium: entertaining and visually stunning but lacks plot depth and reason.

August 12, 2013
And here are a couple other movies that I really don't have anything to say about but I give an honourable mention... Now You See Me, Despicable Me 2 (better than the first one), Safe Haven, The Way Way Back.
DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE // some of these I'm not even sure I want to see After Earth, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatball 2, Grown Ups 2, Here Comes The Boom (I love Kevin James), Pacific Rim, The Kings of Summer, The Heat, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Turbo, Oz the Great and Powerful, Total Recall, Iron Man 3, 12 Years a Slave, Captain Philips, Delivery Man, Short Term 12, In A World, Sharknado, A.C.O.D., A Case of You, The Last Days On Mars, American Hustle.
ZERO INTEREST IN WATCHING // movies that I am actually thankful I didn't have to watch
Warm Bodies/World War Z These movies actually could be not that bad. But I am just not that into zombies flicks. Every horror movie that came out this year.
Every movie or TV show that began with "Tyler Perry's...". And... The Lone Ranger, Kick-Ass 2, Fast & Furious 6, The Wolverine, White House Down, The Hangover Part 3, The Wolf of Wall Street.
DISAPPOINTMENTS // thought it would be good but...
The Spectacular Now I heard a lot about this movie. No actual person told me that it was going to be good just the whole internet raved about it. So I figured I would give it a shot. I just expected it to be a good story about someone trying to discover who they are. That is exactly what it was but it was told very poorly. Save your time, don't see it.
Planes So I never actually saw this film. The part that I was disappointed in was the fact that the film was released at all. The movie was a spin-off of the popular Pixar film "Cars" but it was created not by Pixar but Disney. So in other words Disney liked the money being made with the Cars franchise and decided to make some more money. The worst part about it is everyone thought it was a Pixar film and trust me this movie is not worthy of any sort of association with Pixar. Sadly the sequel is already in the works.
Admission I like Tina Fey, I like Paul Rudd, I think they are very funny...but this was not a funny movie. Nor was this movie enjoyable. Too bad.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Dear Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey, you are capable of so much more.
CONCLUSION // It has been a great year in film. Sure there were some disappointments and some movies that I avoided but I loved a lot of movies this year and will watch them over again.
I'm excited for the stories to be told in 2014! What is your top ten films of the year?
Rather than the pursuit of rule keeping and perfectionism we are to remain in Christ, be present to others, and keep an open conversation with God.
Christmas 2012
One thing I really start doing is blogging more ideas about Worship & Creative Arts, because my dream is to be a Worship Arts Pastor. Something I starting thinking about today is Christmas. Now yes I realize it is only October and Christmas is well off but when I'm Worship Arts Pastor I wanting to be planning Christmas far in advance! I want Christmas to be a really special event for everyone in the community. Two churches I want to mention when it comes to planning Christmas. Church on The Move (COTM) and Hillsong Church. Both Churches spend about half a year planning Christmas and do a really great job with it!
Every year Hillsong puts on "The Christmas Spectacular" which is a huge Christmas production. As well the past couple years have released Christmas albums that have equipped Churches with great worship.
COTM does an amazing job with Christmas. Every year they host an amazing family Christmas event. Check out the video below and you will know what I mean. As well they started a blog called "Planning Christmas" where they post ideas for Churches.
Christmas Recap 2011 from Church on the Move on Vimeo.
I guess this is just me getting excited about being a Worship Arts Pastor and planning Christmas with a team.
This is one of my favorite photos of Alyssa. It captures a moment where she is expressing her passion, photography. Alyssa is an incredible photographer. For Alyssa her photography is an art that brings her life. There is no where else Alyssa would rather be than behind her camera. Sometimes I think of Alyssa's art as story telling. I know that Alyssa's goal when shooting a couple is to capture their story, to show others how truly beautiful two peoples story is together. With the way that camera technology is going many can take a good picture but only few, like Alyssa, know the art of photography. I'm excited to see and hear about every story Alyssa tells. alyssamariephotography.ca

Here I am at the Coldplay concert and this is one of the sickest production booths ever! I wish I could just check it out up close. It's funny because I think I'm as amped about the lighting and sound as I am to actually see Coldplay.
happy valentines day.
story and creativity always go together.
Creativity captures my heart because it has the potential to show us the true beauty of peoples stories. Often we need a different perspective to see how beautiful something really is.
Let me expand...
Creative Film | Jess + Scott [Credit: The Cana Family] Here are two people getting married we can all agree this is beautiful but when we watch this film the beauty of there relationship is intensified. The explosion of color blended with the music moves us.
Creative Music | In These Arms [Credit: The Swell Season] Listening to this track, a glimpse of a beautiful story is captured... "maybe I was born to hold you in these arms"
The Swell Season - In These Arms
Creative Photography | Phil + Heather [Credit: Alyssa Marie Photography] A good photographer can show the beauty of a relationship with one photo. In this picture the light, color, and depth shine to reflect a beautiful story.
I would argue that story and creativity always go together. We all need to be reminded how beautiful the story we find ourselves in is. Creativity is the lens to that reminder.
May you be blessed with creativity to remind you of the beauty that exists in your story and all of the stories around you.
Worship is a Narrative
“Worship is a Narrative” Theology of Worship Document October 13, 2011
REL370 - Theology and Practice or Worship Instructor: Rev. Bill McAlpine, Ph.D. Ambrose University College
Often worship is described as one of the several elements of a Christians life, how can worship be faintly just another part of a life when God clearly proclaims it as a central calling? Psalm 100, “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs” (NIV). Therefore, worship must be defined as something whole, embracing, and all encompassing. I would argue that worship is a narrative.
In this narrative there is an inner cohesion of common elements. The elements are: theme, which defines the narratives ultimate purpose; characters, which defines who belongs to the narrative; and structure, which navigates the theme and characters. Through my research and personal reflections I will articulate the shape of Christian worship.
In beginning the discussion as worship is a narrative it is important to begin with the element of theme, the underlining motif of the narrative.
The theme begins to unfold in humanities ultimate purpose, “to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. God made us to be worshipers. That was the purpose of God in bringing us into the world.” (Tozer 7). Expanding on A.W. Tozer’s statement, two points are to be explained;
(1) Worship is glorifying God; this poses the question of how does humanity bring glory to God? When a human becomes that which God imagined them to be they are giving glory to God. God’s design for humanity is to reflect his image and send the Son through the Holy Spirit to take residence in us in order to bring that image to fullness. Therefore, to be fully human is to have Christ in us, Colossians 1:27 “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (NIV) God is glorified in Christ alone thus humanities worship is fully dependent on Christ.
(2) Worship is enjoying God forever; this poses the question what does it mean to enjoy God? To enjoy God is to experience the consequences of his identity. Jesus’ own words were, “God is the One who is good” (Matthew 19:17 MSG), goodness is at the essence of God’s identity. Everything that overflows from God’s identity is good, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (Genesis 1:31 NIV). Experiencing God’s goodness brings joy because it is humanity experiencing the consequence, his identity. God is worshipped by this experience because facing God’s identity causes humanity to respond with repentance and return to him (Romans 2:4 NKJV).
The theme woven throughout the narrative of worship is humanity glorifying God and enjoying him, to understand this fully the characters in this narrative must be introduced.
The characters in this narrative are God and creation. The triune God, three in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for if we worshiped God any other way that would be a misunderstanding of His character. All of creation; every human being, not just those who are called Christians but everyone belongs to this narrative. To take it a step forward not only humanity but all creation belongs to this narrative.
The first character introduced is the author of this narrative God and it is important that we have a triune understanding of His character. God is three in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; for if we worshiped God any other way it would be a misunderstanding of His identity. A correct understanding of Trinitarian worship is “the gift of participating through the Spirit in the incarnate Son’s communion with the Father.” (Torrance 20). The more we understand God’s character the more we view worship to him as a gift. For each member of the trinity is given as a gift to us; the Father is the author, and creator who shaped the plan of our salvation through Jesus; who is our mediator, the one who stepped into the worlds chaos to bring rhythm again, “for there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” (1Timithy 2:5 NIV), the Holy Spirit applies the work of Christ in us, and pushes us to respond, “God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”” (Galatians 4:6 NLT), and then through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Father inhabits the Praises of His people (Psalm 22:3). The beauty of God’s character is that he has given himself to be koinōnia with us; all of us have been invited to dance and participate in a shared life with the triune God. In worship narrative the almighty God has chosen his character to be unselfish and reachable to his creation.
The other character in this narrative is creation. For God is redeeming not only humanity but all of creation. Psalm 148 gives a call to all creation to worship “Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds” (NIV) and the verse continues. That which sets humanity apart from the rest of creation is the image of God embedded in humanity (Genesis 1:27).
God created humanity in His image, there is a spark that makes each person “capable of admiring Him and loving Him and knowing Him” (Tozer 7). The requirement for worship is “some element of hunger, of desire, for truth and for reality” (Tillini 6) this spark can be ignited in any human. We are able to worship because of the image of God in us; this image is a precursor to a life created to be in union with Christ.
The question that now arises is what does worship participation look like for humanity? I would generally make two distinctions here. (1) Worship is to be embedded in our day to day lives. Everything we do in our daily lives is meant to be done for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31), “everything we do can be an act of worship” (Relevant 65). (2) Worship is to be expressed through faith community gatherings. I would consider our church services as a dialog with God and our community amidst the narrative. This dialog is a regular time in our lives when we grow, reflect, and challenge our faith with God and our community. This dialogical experience highlights God`s responsive character, “in worship God is encountered and glorified, Gods purposes are discerned, however faintly, and Gods people are nourished and strengthened for service” (Tillini 3). Gods beauty is again revealed here, that as we give him glory He responds to us. Two important realities need to be understood about this dialog, that God always has the first word (1 John 4:19), “in worship, we respond to God, then give him the opportunity to respond back, to sing and dance over his people” (Relevant 65). As well there is great purpose and intended outcomes for this dialog. Edward Schillebeeckx explains this purpose well, “on Gods part this encounter involves a disclosure of him by revelation, and on the part of man it involves devotion to God`s service” (Tellini 4). The purpose captured here is that worship needs our sacrifice. This means that these dialogical encounters in the narrative will often be challenges to continue Gods mission in the world (Tillini 21).
This dialog called Church, requires two crucial elements; community and leadership. Just as the trinity is a community, humanity was intended to be in intimate community with one another; to encourage, strengthen, and walk with one another (Hebrew 10:24-25). Therefore, our relationship with our neighbour is crucial, “we cannot cultivate a close and loving relationship with God in worship while we are being manipulative or exploitative in our relationship to our neighbour” (Tillini 10). God often uses communal worship to be strengthening and expansive for the body, “the worship of the local church over time really shapes Christians into the Body of Christ that can then go out into the world to love others and ultimately bring them into a worship relationship with God” (Relevant 67).
Because community in worship is important, leadership is required to bring guidance and teaching. In a faith community context, leadership in worship foundationally lies in “discerning the movement of the Spirit, shaping the elements, and providing structure that allows the congregation to respond to God’s revelation” (Scheer 88). The leadership’s role is to teach and guide this response. The response is to the radical grace of Jesus Christ and this will be expanded on now by defining the narrative structure.
With the understanding of the theme and characters, the blueprint to the narrative’s structure is beginning to take shape.
As mentioned previously, worship is a responsive act. I would argue that there is one primary subject that humanity is responding to in the structure of the narrative, and that is the radical grace of Jesus Christ. This structure is seen at the beginning of Romans 12, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship” (NIV). Often when this verse is shared the “sacrificial lifestyle” is emphasized, but in actuality it comes second. The precursor is the most significant part, “in view of God’s mercy.” So in my own paraphrase this verse is saying: because of the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ’s radical grace poured out over all creation; respond by giving everything you are in return to God. Our worship could never be structured any other way because sacrifice that does not begin and end with the Good News is simply dry religiosity.
This narrative structure of a “response to radical grace” has incredible implications on the way we live out our worship.
Tozer expressed that one will “never be a worshiper unless he is deeply humbled” (Tozer 9). There is something greatly humbling about encountering God. Martin Smith, the frontman for the worship band Delirious, during an interview shared “worship is waking up every morning and simply saying thank you” (Hillsong). Being faced with the Christ’s identity of grace causes a pause and recognition that apart from God humanity is hopeless, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NIV).
Another implication of this narrative structure is a commission. Worship leader John Mark McMillan wrote, “when you see God, understand the story of Jesus and get a glimpse of the heart of God, it’s impossible to not respond” (Relevant 65). There is this empowering commission given when faced with the radical grace of Jesus Christ. Faith and belief are nurtured (Tellini 6) and we are sent out to share the Good News (Matthew 28:16-20).
Every narrative structure has a problem that drives the story forward, in this narrative, the problem is this ongoing reality of tension in our worship. The structure introduced above, “responding to the radical grace of Jesus Christ,” does indeed cause change in humanity but in a sense is always incomplete. This is because Jesus Christ is the center of our worship and the tension saturated reality is that Christ is with us, but has not yet returned. This problem drives creation to look forward to the return of Jesus Christ when our kingdom worship is complete because of our full union with Him. For now creation anticipates as Christ is building his kingdom “to dwell perpetually with those He loves, in a place made especially for us - the New Jerusalem - where we will worship Him forever” (Whaley 313).
The future considerations that I hope for worship is intentional steps toward embracing worship as a narrative. A strong theme proclaiming worship as creation’s central purpose; enjoying God and glorifying Him. An unwavering understanding of the characters; all creation joining together in worship to the triune God. And lastly, a beautifully radiant structure; responding to God’s radical grace and anticipating the full union with Christ in His return.
All creation, recognizing it or not, is built into this narrative of worship. All of the elements (theme, characters, structure) are symbiotic with each other; therefor, there is this incredible kinetic energy in this narrative. When one of the elements is altered, it holds implications for the others. There is no static systematic formula for worship; the interplay between the common elements makes this narrative different for every person.
This is not intended to be discouraging but rather recognizes that Christ is the one building the kingdom, “God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he is using us, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone; with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all of the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home” (Ephesians 2:19-22 MSG).

Hillsong Church: Behind The Scenes
This video accurately captures the heart of Hillsong Church. As I watch it I am reminded where this drive comes from that I am chasing after. Let's not just "do Church". Lets give it everything we've got. The best of our creativity and what ever we can do with our hands and lets serve others! Our perfection will not be that which lead others to Christ, but authentic caring and love will! Our hope is to build real relationships in community and serve others with everything we got! Because they deserve it!
"What makes the Church is the faithful gathering and extraordinary contribution of ordinary people with a passionate heart for God's house and a sacrificial commitment to people. and In the mix of all that something special happens."
We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.
C.S. Lewis
"The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued. So it’s much more about creating climates. I think it’s a big shift for a lot of people."
