If you are a member of Netflix, you are probably aware that they regularly offer used DVDs for sale at discounted prices.
I’ve just learned that after November 30 of this year, they will no longer be offering this service. If someone on your Christmas list is a movie fan, you might want to check out their available titles now before it’s too late.
PS: If you are looking for a Catholic alternative to Netflix, please consider PiusMedia.com. They offer totally clean and Catholic-themed online DVD rentals for education and entertainment purposes. They support what we do here at Faith and Family with their advertising dollars. Check them out!

Aaron Wiederspahn is a man who follows through.
The 36-year-old writer and director of the independent film The Sensation of Sight has chosen a difficult road for his fledgling production company, either/or films: He wants to bring his characters — and thus the audience — to an inescapable confrontation with mystery, “the mystery of grace.”
“It’s like Jacob wrestling with God,”... READ MORE

No one knew better than Pope John Paul II the importance of using the media to proclaim the Gospel. It’s a lesson some young people are absorbing and answering.

Date Night Movie
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Wednesday, September 24, 2008
In just a few short days, we have the perfect opportunity to send Hollywood a message that you and I are ready and willing to support a certain type of movie.
It’s not the latest blockbuster, or an R rated romp, but rather a nice, clean movie with a solid message. It only has one “name” star - and some of us had a crush on him in the 80’s.
No one gets killed, no aliens land on earth, and no one uses... READ MORE

Free Family Movies!
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Sunday, August 03, 2008
Going to the movies during summer vacation can be a lot of fun for kids and their families. But it can also be an expensive form of entertainment—especially for larger families. That’s why it’s so nice to see Regal Entertainment Group offer its annual Free Family Film Festival once again this summer.
When school’s out, kids around the country visit selected Regal theatres for the Free Family Film... READ MORE
