If E.T. asked me what it was like to be human, I’d play him this:
EFC Classics: Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

Defense Against The Dark Arts Professors; C’mon Man! -_-
“But let me make one thing very clear. You are not going to pass off your many ineptitudes on the students of Hogwarts. I shall not permit it.” Continue reading “Defense Against The Dark Arts Professors; C’mon Man! -_-“
EFC Classics: Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone (2001)
Feat. The Original Score by John Williams
“First years, this way please.”
Hello, and welcome to EFC’s: A Harry Halloween. In the previous post I told you the story of how a young, penniless single-mother overcame the odds to craft one of the most popular book series of all time. Each of J.K. Rowling’s 7 novels were subsequently adapted into movies. The first of which, Philosopher’s Stone, hit theaters in November, 2001. That movie is the subject of this present post. Stick around for the Sorting Hat Ceremony at the end to learn your house.

EFC Presents: A Harry Halloween
One dreary December day in 1993, a soft-spoken young woman, and her infant daughter moved into a flat in Edinburgh, Scotland.

EFC 2.07 – Dr. Strange
Feat. The Music of Cold War Kids, and Earth, Wind & Fire (In a Special EFC Music Video!)
“You’re a man looking at the world through a keyhole, and you’ve spent your whole life trying to widen that keyhole – to see more, to know more. And now, upon hearing that it can be widened, in ways you can’t imagine, you reject the possibility.”
The famed mythologist, Joseph Campbell, said that Step #1 in The Hero’s Journey is The Call to Adventure. The caller, of course, is The Universe, and it wants the hero to undergo a transformative experience of some kind. But the hero must pick up the phone in order for the journey to commence.

EFC 2.05 – Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Feat. The Music of Alexiane
“I’m not asking you to die for me. I’m asking you to trust me.”
That’s A Very Nice Hat
“1 minute 10 seconds, a new record!” exclaims a halfling sized creature that looks like a cross between the ugly duckling and a gargoyle. Sgt. Laureline (Cara Delevingne) dizzily removes a bulbous, blue fluorescent jellyfish from her head and collapses on the dock inside a Big Blue subterranean cavern.

EFC 2.01 – Rogue One
Feat. The Music of Lissie (In a special EFC music video!)
“I am one with the force, the force is with me.”
The writers of Rogue One have a message for us. Just like Galen Erso, they buried it in their creation. The message is simple, but powerful, and it has to do with The Force. Continue reading “EFC 2.01 – Rogue One”
EFC 11: Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children
Feat. The Music of Florence + The Machine
“We don’t discuss the future here. We enjoy living in the here and now.”
Welcome to the darkly fantastic word of Miss Peregrine, a place where time stands still but hearts beat fast, and gardens bloom when spell is cast. Lush and green; Oh what a scene! Where dreams are projected like Kodak carousels, and peculiarity’s the spice of life; forget all your strife. And may you stay forever young.
