Why We Need Stories

January 28, 2014 / Kiersti Giron / books, faith, movies, story, writing

I so enjoyed seeing the movie Saving Mr. Banks a few weeks ago. As a writer, I loved the “behind the scenes” angle on a story going from book to screenplay to film, plus the marvelous acting in a poignantly multi-layered story.

Of Les Mis, Narnia, and Fishermen

I rarely go to see movies in the theater—and almost never see the same movie twice on the big screen. But I did with Les Misérables.

My family and went to see the movie Courageous in the theater this past Saturday. I don’t know when I’ve laughed and cried so hard during a movie.

I loved the movie Chariots of Fire when I was a little girl. I find that funny now, since I couldn’t have understood a lot of it. I’m not sure if it was the music, the mesmerizing footage of runners splashing along an English beach, the drama of the races, or the unassuming, everyday heroism […]
