Critics have consistently praised the ensemble for their extraordinary talent and the mesmerizing visual spectacle they create. According to Newsweek, their Off-Broadway debut represented “not only Japanese entertainment but Japan itself.” The Herald commended their
“supernatural fitness and superb training,” while the Chicago Tribune lauded their “extraordinary talent” and “seductive, alluring performance.” The Central News Agency warned, “You'll regret it for your life if you miss this!” and the Edinburgh Evening News declared them
“undoubtedly one of the finest shows on offer.”

One Of The Better Christian Movies I've Come Across

sddavis637 July 2017

 

I'm not really a huge fan of most "Christian" movies. I say that as a Christian and as a pastor. But for the most part I find them formulaic to the point of boring and usually badly (even horrendously) acted. And usually, the more seriously they try to take themselves the worse they end up being. So I confess that I had very low expectations of "The Shack."

I watched it because my wife wanted to watch it. She had read the book (I've not bothered with it either - for no particular reason) and wanted to see the film adaptation. Well, I watched it with her, and I was pleasantly surprised. All in all, I thought this was a pretty well-done movie and an interesting story.

Piano Concert by Werner Elmker, Friday, March 22 • 7:30 pm
Golden Magnolia Sanctuary | 200 South Main Street

Join prolific pianist and composer Werner Elmker as he takes us on a delightful inner journey with improvisational, classical and popular piano music.

Over the years, ​Werner​ has made a deep impression in Fairfield with his many artistic skills. Increasingly known for his magical photos and videos of Fairfield life and nature, Werner is also able to create magic on the piano with his refined musical touch and improvisational skills. One concertgoer commented, “Your sound has a special quality of silence, no matter how loud or soft you are playing. It is cumulative. The silence gets deeper and deeper, and I notice the whole audience sinks into it together, so that by the end, no one can move or speak. The silence is so tangible, you can cut it with a knife!”

Werner Elmker moved to Iowa in 1985 and has performed extensively for the local community in Fairfield, as well as in other areas of the U.S. and Europe. He holds a doctoral level degree in piano performance from the Royal Danish Music Conservatory. Werner emphasizes the importance of improvisation and being in the moment as the main source of creativity and great music.

A powerful and timeless love story

 

This wonderful love story takes place against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush of 1850. The story centers on Angel (Abigail Cowen), who was sold into prostitution as a child. She has survived through hatred and self-loathing, until she meets Michael Hosea (Tom Lewis) and discovers there is no brokenness that love can't heal. The story reflects the redemptive power of unconditional and sacrificial love with characters and circumstances relevant to the contemporary world.

Brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, a young woman runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.

City Present Budget to the Community

The City of Fairfield is honored to announce that the fiscal year 2024-2025 budget public presentation will take place on Tuesday, March 26th, from 8 am to 12 pm at the Arts and Convention Center in the theater. During this event, each Department Head will have a dedicated 15-minute slot to delve into their operations, discuss expenditures, and field questions from the Council. Following these presentations, the Departments will remain present as the floor opens to the audience for inquiries. 

The primary objective of this event is to enlighten the community about the intricate workings of the City of Fairfield, provide insight into our future direction as a city, and foster transparency. This marks the inaugural year of such a procedure, and we appreciate your patience as we navigate through a learning curve and strive for continuous improvement in the years ahead. We aim to establish a robust foundation for community engagement, cultivate stronger relationships, and foster trust. While many are aware of what we do and how we do it, our ultimate goal is to communicate effectively why we do it.

I hope you will take time out of your day to join us.

IMDb Review

 

Make a story of your own

 

The whole story of a man's life is something large, but this movie managed to be entertaining and comical telling a story by dividing it into many stages so well told it feels like it's a little fairy tale, so many aspects and many temporal lines in 2 hours that feels like just a single hour.

The story itself is touching and beautiful while the time placement (involving the wardrobe used and design of the places as well) totally transports the audience to those years, it's colorful and complements the "adventure vibe"

This is undoubtedly a great movie to watch with the family, so every single member can appreciate each other stories and how they all got intertwined.
