When a middle-aged architect (Colin Farrell) suddenly finds himself single, he’s whisked off to a special “hotel” where he’s given 45 days to find a new mate from among the other guests. The circumstances are far from ideal, mainly because the guests are largely dispassionate, mechanically going through the motions of dating, looking for anything to latch onto that might hint at potential instant compatibility. Singles who mutually possess seemingly insignificant traits, like walking with a limp (Ben Whishaw), an affinity for breakfast biscuits (Ashley Jensen), lisping (John C. Reilly) or being prone to spontaneous nosebleeds (Jessica Barden), gleefully view these mundane attributes as possible foundations for romantic kismet.

The Power of Kinship
by Karen Berg May 10, 2015We need to cultivate a feeling of kinship with those around us that doesn’t disappear when we disagree or don’t see eye to eye

For me, certainty means one thing. I know that the things that happen in my life – however difficult they may be – are part of a grander plan: a Hand that is pushing me in a direction, whether or not I acknowledge it, whether or not I want to go there. We are put in this world with an assigned spiritual role, and we will get knocked around by the universe until we wake up to it.

Ambitious but mediocre ‘Master’ leaves viewers wanting
by Brent Marchant October 5, 2012Getting a handle on that which does not serve us is one of the greatest personal growth challenges that many of us will face in life. Achieving control over such matters often pushes us to take steps we never thought ourselves capable of, a journey that often includes both victories and setbacks on our way to attaining proficiency. One man’s search for that goal is the subject of one of this year’s most anticipated releases, director Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master.”

READ: ‘Margin Call’ dissects the financial meltdown with keen precision
by Brent Marchant February 17, 2012The economy has been on everyone’s mind for several years now, and many have justifiably pondered how we got ourselves into this mess.

These questions are examined in meticulous detail in the Wall Street drama, “Margin Call,” now available on DVD.

READ: Personal growth takes center stage in ‘A Dangerous Method’
by Brent Marchant December 23, 2011While the film’s narrative is ostensibly about a specific period in Jung’s life, its script is in actuality more symbolic and idea-based than purely biographical. Perhaps the most significant theme is the picture’s spotlight on the uncanny parallels between the practices of psychotherapy and conscious creation.
