Sabbath

Posted by Greg Atkinson | July 15, 2010 .

Last night my wife and I watched the movie “Chariots of Fire“. Those of you that know me know I’m a movie guy, but I had never seen this classic Academy Award winning movie (it won 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture). I really enjoyed the movie and was moved by Eric Liddell’s convictions and [...]

Precious: My Thoughts on The Book of Eli

Posted by Greg Atkinson | January 20, 2010 .

As you know, God speaks to me through movies (and music). I love movies, especially when there are spiritual themes running all through them. Personally, I think all Church leaders should see Denzel Washington’s new movie The Book of Eli. I don’t want to spoil anything for you if you haven’t seen it or tell [...]

I See You

Posted by Greg Atkinson | December 18, 2009 .

I stand corrected… I love Invictus and think it is an outstanding story and movie, but after recently seeing Avatar, I think it will win Best Picture and James Cameron will beat out Clint Eastwood for Best Director. Creative teams: listen to me. Go see this with your team and be inspired. The world that [...]

Invictus

Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of [...]

I Saw The Soloist

Posted by Greg Atkinson | April 29, 2009 .

Last Friday, with some friends in Oklahoma City, I saw The Soloist (with Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx). Going into the movie, I knew I would love it because I’m a musician and it seemed the movie was about a man’s love of music (which is a big part of it).  What I left [...]

Slumdog Racks Up at The Oscars

Posted by Greg Atkinson | February 23, 2009 .

I hate to say “I told you so”, but I did. I knew the moment I saw “Slumdog Millionaire” for the first time that it would win an Academy Award. It won 8 last night, including Best Director and Best Picture. It is truly an amazing piece of art and a wonderful film. If you [...]

I’ve been in touch over the last few months with Andrew Morgan. Andrew leads a non-profit organization based out of Atlanta called Broken Voices. This is an introduction to their work: Does my life matter? What is my purpose? Is it really possible that my life was meant for something bigger? – Something Greater? Anthem [...]

What a work of art. ART. Beauty, love, raw, powerful, intense, cool music, shot very well, gripping – the best movie [...]

The Future of Movies

Posted by Greg Atkinson | December 16, 2008 .

Yesterday I spoke of my love for movies. I found this article from the Wall Street Journal interesting. Here’s a brief part of the article: “Get ready for a lot more ways to catch a movie. Hollywood studios and tech companies are rolling out a host of innovations that will change the way we experience films [...]
