Movie Review ~ Unsung Hero

At times falling victim to the crime of being overly earnest (and very, very white), Unsung Hero is an above-serviceable addition to the genre.

Unsung Hero Synopsis: The true story of the Smallbone family, who moved from Australia to the United States after the father’s music company failed, following their journey as the children’s musical talents are discovered and they go on to become the Grammy-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.Stars: Joel Smallbone, Daisy Betts, Jonathan Jackson, Candace Cameron Bure, Kirrilee…

My boss came out of hospital this morning and had to scoff down her breakfast because the ambulance was outside waiting to take her home.

[spiritofjustice]

i think Jerome Horn is aroace. i wasn't sure about it before but that seems like the most likely thing he Is, between being bisexual or aroace. i don't know if he's exactly strictly aroace, but i do think he overwhelmingly does not experience any romantic or sexual attraction to people. i think this is interesting to experience in the 19th century.

Jerome obviously just believes he's heterosexual. it's a bit sad to imagine him forcing himself to go through the motions of romance because he understands it's an expectation. i haven't developed her much, but i do have an idea on a woman he's probably courting on and off. i'm sure he enjoys her company but he doesn't feel any actual romantic love towards her. he's probably been tossing around the idea of marrying her to the point of mentioning it to her a few times, but he just never gets around to it because it isn't something he actually wants that much.

casual sex and sex work was very common in the West as well, you can expect Jerome has himself going through the motions of that too. i don't think he hates sex, he has his own needs, but he's super neutral to it because he isn't?? attracted to anybody anyways? i can imagine him wondering if it's exaggeration how a lot of cowboys coming back from months' long cattle drives are obsessed with sex lol. doesn't bother him any if he doesn't have sex for a while, or if he never had it at all.

i also just feel really bad for that woman he's courting. she doesn't deserve to be someone a man who doesn't even love her 'settles' for, either, because i'm sure she's very in love with him on the opposite end.

Ok literally one person expressed an inkling of interest in Fantasia 2000, so that’s my sign to let y’all know how amazing the music and animation is.

First, the movie opens with Beethoven’s Symphony no. 5, telling a story of good and evil with butterflies and bats in an abstract style of animation.

[image description: colorful, abstract butterflies all flying in a circle with a blue background]

Steve Martin comes and introduces the concept of Fantasia, then Itzhak Perlman introduces the next song: Pines of Rome, which tells the story of a pod of humpback whales, specifically two whales and their baby.

[image description: a pod of humpback whales soaring through clouds] Quincy Jones introduces Rhapsody in Blue, which tells the story of four different people who all live in New York City and all have dreams they hope to achieve.

[image description: a bunch of people are crowded in a subway car. Anyone tall enough is holding onto those handlebars that hang from the ceiling. Everyone looks grumpy, and each person is one color with various shades and tints]

Bette Midler introduces Piano Concerto No. 2, which tells the story of the Steadfast Tin Soldier.

[image description: the tin soldier, dressed in a red and white uniform, stands with a ballerina figurine. The ballerina has brown curly hair and a white ballet dress with blue trim. They gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes]

James Earl Jones then introduces Carnival of Animals, which is a story about a flamingo that is shamed by his flock for his love of yo-yos. I’m not making this up.

[image description: a flamingo jumps out of the water, using its feet to play with a yo-yo]

Penn and Teller perform magic tricks as they introduce The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the only animated sequence also used in the original Fantasia. Mickey Mouse is the apprentice of a powerful magician, but when he tries to use magic to take care of his chores, he realizes he’s created more trouble than he can fix.

[image description: Mickey Mouse, dressed in a red robe and a blue wizard hat, holds on to a giant book as he’s trapped in a whirlpool]

James Levine introduces Pomp and Circumstance, although he is interrupted as Mickey Mouse tries to find the star of this story: Donald Duck. Donald Duck helps Noah load animals onto the ark before the big flood, and he and Daisy think they’ve lost each other forever]

[image description: Donald Duck stands in the foreground, satisfied, as many animals walk towards Noah’s ark]

Last but not least, Angela Lansbury introduces the final song, The Firebird Suite, which tells of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

[image description: a green spirit/goddess/creature uses her magic and starts to bring a tree to life after winter]

Hopefully the beauty of these images convince y’all to give this movie a try. And maybe you recognize some of the musical pieces!

Actress Candace Cameron Bure (“Full House” and “Fuller House” fame) chatted about the movie “Just in Time” and her other Great American Family films.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” A woman that embodies this quote is Candace Cameron Bure.

‘Just in Time’ movie

Most recently, she served as an executive producer of the film “Candace Cameron Presents: Just in Time,” which coincided with this year’s Easter festivities.

“I love that movie,” she exclaimed. “Laura Osnes is so fantastic, so was Peter Bryant and our writers were incredible as well.”

She noted that she is excited for her new holiday movie “A Christmas Less Traveled,” which she announced yesterday. “I am always searching for the next Christmas movie. This is a fun road trip story that we get to tell,” she foreshadowed.

“It is also quite heartwarming, so you might need to have the tissues handy for that movie,” she acknowledged.

‘A Christmas… Present’ movie with Marc Blucas

She shared that she enjoyed doing the holiday film “A Christmas… Present” with Marc Blucas. “I loved that movie,” she said. “Working with Marc was so great.”

The synopsis is: Real Estate Agent Maggie Larson and her family will be spending Christmas with her recently widowed brother, Paul, and his young daughter at their house.

Maggie is determined to give her brother and niece the best Christmas possible and to lift their spirits when they most need it. Though Maggie’s plan is to aid her brother, his faith and parenting style ultimately helps her to understand issues within her own life and a need for closeness in her own family.

Working with director Lesley Demetriades

She also had great words about working with female director Lesley Demetriades on “A Christmas… Present.” “I have had a career filled with so many wonderful people, and Lesley was certainly one of them,” she said. “Lesley is a wonderful director, and she is so kind.”

“As a producer and a lead actress, I am always trying to create the best environment on set,” she said.

“I get the privilege of working with incredible people, and I get to put those teams together. I enjoy everyone in my film so very much, and it is always great to work with new faces and I also get to work with a lot of familiar faces behind the scenes,” she elaborated.

She also had great words about Emmy nominee Randy Wayne, who served as a supervising producer on that film. “Randy is great,” she admitted.

‘My Christmas Hero’ film

An equally enjoyable movie for her was “My Christmas Hero,” where she worked alongside Gabriel Hogan. It was a film about military appreciation and meaningful relationships. “That one was wonderful,” she said.

The digital age

On being an actress in the digital age, she said, “It is wonderful since there are so many ways to watch film and television today. Digital is taking things to a whole new level, and it is great because there are more ways to watch.”

‘Unsung Hero’

Bure also stars in the upcoming movie “Unsung Hero,” where she also served as an executive producer. The cast includes Joel Smallbone, Daisy Betts, Kirrilee Berger, and Jonathan Jackson. Bure plays the role of Kay Albright.

Great American Family

Bure serves as the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Great American Family network. She is also a lead actress and executive producer on many of the films.

“It has been wonderful,” she admitted about being a part of Great American Family. “I am so proud to be a part of the channel and be a part of the whole process as the Chief Creative Officer of Great American Family. It has really been a beautiful step in my career,” she acknowledged.

“I love bringing family movies to all the viewers at home,” she added.

Mario Lopez joining ‘Great American Family’

Most recently, she is thrilled to welcome Mario Lopez (“Access Hollywood” and “Saved By the Bell”) and his wife, Courtney, on Great American Family. “We are so excited and proud to have Mario and Courtney on Great American Family,” she exclaimed.

“Everyone is going to be a part of that,” she said about the upcoming Great American Christmas movies later on this year.

“We keep building bigger and better lineups, so we are excited for this coming Christmas season,” she acknowledged.

Advice for young and aspiring actors

For young and aspiring actors, she said, “Learn your craft well. Keep practicing and take lessons or classes whether that’s in theatre, or privately, or in school. Just keep working at it. I’ve been in the business for a really long time, and I am still trying to be better and better every day, and learn my craft better, and the nuances of it.”

“I would tell young actors to keep doing it and to keep practicing,” she added.

90s Con

Bure recalled being a part of the 90s Con fan events in Connecticut, which are produced by That’s 4 Entertainment.

“90s Con is so much fun,” she said. “I was sorry to have missed it this year, but they have been really fun events. I’ve gotten the chance to meet so many wonderful people there, and families. I enjoy them very much.”

Stage of her life

On the title of the current chapter of her life, Bure said with a sweet laugh, “Hustle.” “I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing. I’m hustling and I’m working really hard.”

Matthew West

Bure had great words about Christian music singer-songwriter Matthew West. “I love Matthew [West] so much,” she exclaimed. “It is always a joy to be on his podcast. He is one of my favorite musical artists. Matthew is the voice of the Great American Family channel during Christmastime.”

Superpower of choice

If Bure were to have any superpower, it would be “to teleport.” “Then, I could be in any place at any time, especially since I do a lot of traveling,” she said. “So, I think that would be a great superpower.”

Career-defining moment: Playing DJ Tanner in ‘Full House’

Bure noted that her biggest defining moment is “Full House.” “That’s what put me on the map,” she said. “It’s what everyone mostly knows me from; they know me as DJ Tanner, and that will always be such a huge part of my life and my career.”

Best advice she was ever given: ‘Be Yourself’

On the best advice that she was ever given, she revealed: “to be yourself.” “Just be yourself; my mom told me that all the time,” she said. “Don’t try to be anyone else or something that you are not.”

Alternate career choice: Fashion

If she weren’t in the entertainment business, her alternate career would have been in “fashion.” “I just love fashion,” she admitted.

Success

On her definition of the word success, Bure said, “Success, to me, is having a wonderful relationship with my family and with God.”

Hej, because I love your book and work I got curious about works that you yourself love! What are some books, tv-shows, and movies that you love?

Hey there!

So firstly, I actually send out a regular email that sums up new events I'm doing, new works published, and also includes media recs! If you search "update" on my Tumblr I crosspost it here and put it on Patreon too, but if you want it direct to your inbox you can check out last week's here.

I have a pretty wide and varied set of tastes and preferences, so I oscillate pretty widely between books, movies, TV shows, games, radio shows, etc.

Firstly, books wise, I love Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, especially the Industrial Revolution subseries; I adore PG Wodehouse's Jeeves books; I love Les Misérables, and to a lesser extent Victor Hugo's other body of work. I also have a lot of affection for Jules Verne, Evelyn Waugh, Christopher Isherwood, and E.M. Forster. I also heartily adore Patrick O'Brian's Aubreyad.

I can unfortunately not be relied upon for new releases, or indeed releases in the last century, especially because reading is such a struggle for me.

I rate a lot of stuff on Letterboxd too, film-wise, and you can see some favourites on there! These are 10 favourite movies I picked out of my top pile at random, they're all very different genres and tones:

Attack the Block (2011, dir. Joe Cornish)

The Novitiate (2017, dir. Margaret Betts)

Mysterious Skin (2004, dir. Gregg Araki)

Withnail and I (1987, dir. Bruce Robinson)

Deep Cover (1992, dir. Bill Duke)

Hustlers (2019, dir. Lorene Scafaria)

A Single Man (2009, dir. Tom Ford)

A Serious Man (2009, dir. the Coen Brothers)

Fire Island (2022, dir. Andrew Ahn)

The Silenced (2015, dir. Lee Hae-young)

My taste in TV is also pretty varied, but these are some assorted favourites of mine that I rewatch a lot:

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Jeeves and Wooster

Abbott Elementary

Letterkenny

Gregory Horror Show

P-Valley

Haunting of Hill House

Person of Interest

Pushing Daisies

The Terror S1

Also I love Cabin Pressure, which is a radio sitcom and is sooo funny.

Donald FOWL Mini AU Info

A mini au where Donald joins fowl. It’s basically a dt17 season 3 rewrite with different duckverse canon mixed in. Cause I thought it would be interesting.

Donald joins FOWL after the events of Quack Pack, after Bradford has a small talk with him, and after being mostly convinced he joins FOWL to seek some revenge on Scrooge and Della. Donald tries to balance his family life and FOWL life, while his family is oblivious to the fact they have a FOWL spy in the manor pool. They believe he’s just traveling more often because of his new job. Even Mrs. Beakly couldn’t figure it out.

Bradford chose Donald is because he sees him as someone who shares similar ideals to him in terms of adventures, and someone who is very skilled at many things, a hard worker that Scrooge can’t see is in front of him, easy to manipulate in a way, Etc.

The reason Donald joins FOWL is for some revenge on Scrooge and Della (mostly Scrooge), and also to stop FOWL on his own. (Cause I figured that he fought FOWL, Organization, etc in the past in his Agent 44 SHUSH, as Double Duck Agency Days)

Donald helps Bradford get the Papyrus of Binding, blessed bagpipes, and other mythical artifacts. Bradford even tried to get the Golden Atlas, but failed.

Donald is the true heir to Scrooge not Webby because I figured it makes more sense and it ties well with the whole “most trusted ally” thing, and it also makes the most sense in terms of how Donald has always been the true heir. (Also Della but Donald is more likely in all honesty)

As backup in case Donald couldn’t get The Papyrus of Binding and as weapons against the Mcduck/Duck family, Black Heron made two Donald clones Project 34 aka Project Lux Dei.

Black Heron never trusted Donald from the beginning, because she believes that he will betray them and stop their plans (she’s not wrong) Donald grew to like the other FOWL Agents and see them as a small weird family.

Donald is called Agent D or Agent Duck when working for FOWL. sometimes Black Heron calls him Double Duck.—————————————————————

Project 34 aka Project Lux Dei (which means light of god in Latin) Donald’s clones

There are two versions of them the male and female.

The clones were made as backups in case Donald couldn’t get the Papyrus of Binding, and as weapons against the Mcduck/Duck family.

The Males Clones: Jurakan and Yocahu. named after Taino Gods. Jurakan is the god of Hurricanes. Yocahu is the leader of the other gods and god of sky and creation. while their post last adventure names are Aku and Paolino named after Donald's names in Italian (Paolino Paperino) and (Aku Ankk) Finnish. the reason both are missing limbs was because when they were “born” they were conjoined, so they were later separated. They have prosthetic arms just like Black Heron’s and have peg foot. Jurakan is missing his left arm and right foot, while Yocahu is missing his right arm and left foot. (The same as Donald in my lost limbs au)

The Female Clones: Amphitrite and Doris. named after sea goddesses. Amphitrite is the goddess of the ocean and wife of Poseidon in greek myth. Doris was a goddess who ruled over the oceanids in greek myth. while their post last adventure names are Donna and Dottie. Donna is referencing Donna Duck, Donald's first love interest, Dottie is Referencing Daisy's First Niece that later got replaced by April May and June. Which ironically is how Webby was made to be a condensed version of the AMJ.———————————————————————

How season 3 would change in this: I have a few problems with dt17 season 3 so yeah.

Well for one Donald is more important to the story, and Huey still has his arc but is a bit different. Webby is not a clone herself she is Mrs. Beaklys granddaughter all the way till the end, Her parents were killed by FOWL agents and they were SHUSH and Agency agents themselves. Donald and Della interact more cause we needed it man. Also Bradford’s motivations is not just ‘adventures killed my grandma crap’. Della actually changes and becomes a bit of better person cause she didn’t develop at all in the show. Daisy appears more often, she and Donald dated before and got back together in Louie’s Eleven. Also Xandra shows up cause I love her alright. Della and Scrooge face the consequences of their actions cause they never did in the show. And both get called out for their crap and on how they treated Donald, the kids, and the rest of the family. Just Della in general cause she had potential and was disappointing could’ve been better. Scrooge is more close the comics in this au, he’s more in the moral grey area just like in the comics. Some events change, added or removed to complement this au. There’s more but that’s all for now.
