I have a first class relic of her that I confiscated from my Mom because she was using it to hold up the mirror on her dresser (my Mom is also Helena). Mom's excuse: "She's being useful." I told her it was sacrilege! ha ha ha<br />St. Helena is the patroness of difficult marriages (among a few other things). I follow the "Bronx Zoo Cobra" on Twitter.Sr. Helena Burns, fsphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196121481873845379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789157.post-41854901745172793372011-06-22T08:08:03.247-05:002011-06-22T08:08:03.247-05:00The title of your blog is great!

I LOVED that movie when it came out. Now, it's really dated. But it's still great. What is amazing about Spielberg is how he single-handily created a whole new genre of movie: the Sci-Fi Dramedy. Most sci-fi in the 50s and 60s had very little good acting and direction. But Spielberg changed that entirely with Jaws which were replete with intense drama, comedy, and sci-fi based around a man eating shark. That style found its way into CE3rdK, E.T., and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Although I think Jaws may have been the best movie of the lot. I hope that Abrams carries the Spielberg torch yet creates his own style was well (Cloverfeild was great!) I'm looking forward to seeing "Super 8". Thanks for the positive review!<br /><br />Fr. John.<br /><br />By the way I'm a priest at St. Helena in the Bronx, NY. You have a good patroness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
