Star Trek: Into Darkness Patch Blogger Mark Glass: **** It’s time again to boldly go...where tons of TV and movie cameras have gone before. Space. The final frontier. For context, this is the second feature film showing the original crew of the Enterprise in the beginning of their careers, in an alternate time line, allowing both overlaps and variations from the stories and characters that started the whole franchise. That allows Benedict Cumberbatch (best known as a contemporary Sherlock Holmes…

The Great Gatsby Patch Blogger Mark Glass: **½ This latest screen version of the classic novel is a mixed bag of assets and flaws. Director and co-writer Baz Lurhrmann ambitiously tries for a 3-D spectacle with several lavish party scenes that Busby Berkeley would have envied. He inserts bits of anachronistically modern music into this 1922 setting. That worked beautifully in his Moulin Rouge, and hilariously in the opening joust of A Knight’s Tale, but feels overly…

The Parkway West graduate and former NBC news anchor has a documentary airing this week.
Stone Phillips, the Parkway West graduate and former NBC News anchor, is used to turning the cameras on other subjects. But his latest project hitting television screens this week focuses attention on an issue facing his own family. "Moving With Grace," a documentary airing Tuesday night on KETC and re-airing Sunday, tells the story of his own parents, and the decision to move them out of St. Louis and to North Carolina, where they can be better cared for by Phillips' sister Minta. In this accompanying preview posted on YouTube, Phillips says the move is prompted by his father's hospitalization and his mother's dementia. Grace Phillips is a retired Parkway School district teacher. The documentary includes a visit to St. Martin's Episcopal …

Grace was in my class at St. Martin's for awhile when I was leading an adult Christian formation class. I can't presume to say I taught her anything; I was more the facilitator. It was such a joy to be able to spend time with her. She was plain-spoken and endlessly curious. I want to be her when I grow up. more ›
