In the newest episode of ‘Just A Catholic Dad’ there are some hair-raising exploits at the McCarney house, Sean shows why he doesn’t do drains, and there’s a question about how you come back to the church if you feel like an outsider. There’s also a slightly mad cyclist and a plea from a Canadian listener! The 60 Second Saint is back and there’s some more ‘Holy Homework’ to while away the winter evenings……
This month is Oscar Month, and the member of the SQPN Movie Panel will watch or rewatch the blockbuster ‘Titanic’ as the first movie of the month.
Why do you think the movie was such a huge success? What did you like, what didn’t you like? What was the most memorable scene? Are you going to watch the 3D rerelease when it hits theaters this year?
Post your thoughts and reviews in the comments!
Who doesn’t like to cuddle up on the couch during cold winter nights and watch a good movie? And isn’t it fun to chat with friends about a movie you just saw?
Starting today, you can do both by joining the SQPN Movie Panel! Every week, we will pick another movie to watch, and chat about it on Twitter and on the SQPN website.
Each month will have its own theme (‘Shark Month’, ‘Disaster Month’, ‘Spy Month’, ‘Magical Month’), and Februari is ‘Oscar Month’. We will watch the four movies that won the most Academy Awards in history: Titanic, Ben Hur, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and West Side Story.
This is how it works: make sure you follow @moviepanel on Twitter to chat and to talk about the movie of the week, and follow SQPN on Facebook and on this website to post your comments on each movie.
We might actually get together in other ways in the future for an even more lively discussion, but we want to start as simple as possible.
The movie to watch this week is the one with the current all-time record in terms of Academy Awards: Titanic! Looking forward to hear your reviews and thoughts about this movie!

The team of ‘Secrets of Disney’ is back with a new podcast episode, this time analyzing the Disney movie ‘Enchanted’! Click here to listen and to subscribe:
On her blog ‘Another Cup of Coffee’, Catholic Weekend co-host Maria Johnson wrote a review of the classic movie Groundhog Day:
I woke up to a number of faux-concerned Tweets about hearing Sonny and Cher’s I Got You, Babe. Thanks, Bill Murray, for this iconic film, but I could really care less about the little rodent…and his Southern counterpart, General Beauregard Lee. I just usually send the weather dog outside in the morning. If she comes back wet, it’s raining. If she won’t go out, it’s cold. I’m good with that.
But I do love the film. It’s funny, in that way that Bill Murray could issue a death sentence and it would sound funny. Maybe it’s the smirk. Delivery is everything in comedy, no?
Naturally there’s more to it than that. Murray’s character is a giant ball of ego. His arrogance is beyond off-putting; it clearly has made him a miserable person, disliked by his colleagues, and cause for his punishment to live groundhog day over and over again.
However, according to Maria, “this punishment is really no punishment at all…” Click here to read why!

Great film choices for the first month. Count me in! Looking forward to some great film discussion.
ariadna 4:53 pm on February 4, 2012 Permalink |
Also looking forward to discussing!! Although I have to disagree: Ben Hur, Titanic and The Return of the King had 11 Oscars each, ROTK being the only one which won in every category it was nominated. Ben Hur, on the other hand, won things none of the other two did: Best Picture and Best Actor.
Fr. Roderick 5:11 pm on February 4, 2012 Permalink |
If you add up the total amount of nominations + amount of Academy Awards, Titanic is #1 with 11 Oscars and 14 nominations..
ariadna 6:01 pm on February 4, 2012 Permalink |
You make an excellent point.
ariadna 5:15 pm on February 4, 2012 Permalink |
SORRY!! Best Actor; Best Picture they obviously won…

Looking forward to the movie panel and the conversation that comes forth from the movies we watch.
