  • Bill's Guide to Week Two of the 47Th Annual Chicago International Film
    Bill’s Guide to Week Two of the 47th Annual Chicago International Film Festival By Bill Stamets Special for Films for Two® My recommended films in Week Two (in “must see” order): 1.) Pina: German director Wim Wenders previously profiled Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and Cuban musicians. His latest documentary introduces cinefiles to the choreography of German avant-gardist Pina Bausch. In his first use of 3-D cinematography, Wenders evokes the volume of the stage, even for performances staged in non-theatrical settings, including a tramway and an escalator. Four different works are presented. Some are revisited via archival 2-D footage. Seeing various versions adds more figurative depth to our appreciation of Bausch's work than the 3-D adds literal depth to our onscreen perception. Bausch's death during the making of the film may have lent an elegiac note to the laudatory interviews with members of her international company Tanztheater Wuppertal. They do not speak on camera during looking-into-the lens portrait sessions. The soundtrack excerpts their comments, apparently recorded off- camera, to underscore their role as voiceless dancers. Wenders channels Bausch's tactile and theoretical grasp of the body as metaphysical material for art. 2.) The Descendants: Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt, Election, Citizen Ruth) directs George Clooney as Matt King, an Hawaiian lawyer dealing with his wife hospitalized in a coma and their 10-year-old and 17- year-old daughters. Payne and his co-writers start from Kaui Hart Hemmings' 2008 novel for a truly touching male melodrama, as Clooney's character reconciles his mixed emotions about his wife.

Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • America and the Movies What the Academy Award Nominees for Best Picture Tell Us About Ourselves
    AMERICA AND THE MOVIES WHAT THE ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEES FOR BEST PICTURE TELL US ABOUT OURSELVES I am glad to be here, and honored. For twenty-two years, I was the Executive Director of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, VA, adjacent to the University of Virginia, and now I am in the same position with the fledgling Consortium of Christian Study Centers, a nation-wide group of Study Centers with the mission of working to present a Christian voice at the secular universities of our land. There are some thirty to thirty-five such Study Centers in all different shapes and sizes. Not surprisingly, I suppose, I believe the work they are doing is some of the most important work being done at universities in America today, and that makes me glad and filled with anticipation to be here with Missy and the rest of you at the beginning of another study center. I have had the privilege of being part of this from the beginning though also from afar, and it is nice finally to see what is happening here. I look forward to seeing what the Lord does in the coming years. Thank you for inviting me to address you. Now to the task at hand. This is the tenth year in a row I have, in one form or another, looked at the Academy Award nominees for best picture and opined on what they tell us about life in American society. However, this is the first of those ten years in which I have lectured on this topic before the nominees were even announced.
