  • Heading for Heaven

    Heading for Heaven: Directed by Lewis D. Collins. With Stuart Erwin, Glenda Farrell, Russ Vincent, Irene Ryan. Stuart Erwin plays a small-town real estate agent who owns much property which, for several generations, has failed to sell even while the town has grown. It becomes known, except to Erwin, that the property is being considered for the new airport and the owner will make a small fortune. He is swarmed upon by an unscrupulous swami (Russ Vincent)and his equally-crooked business partner, and Erwin is soon convinced that he hasn’t long to live. With his life a mess, he leaves home and family.

    Released in 1947, this was released after a 3 year hiatus for Glenda Farrell, and while this is a good movie for her, I wish she had a stronger role in the film, maybe even the lead. nothing against Stuart Erwin, but Glenda’s a much stronger actor at this point. The film itself is a fun con-man story of real estate and mistaken suicides, all wrapped in some conversations from beyond the veil of life itself. The movie is based on a play (“For the Sake of the Family”).

    The transfer of this film to dvd however is absolute garbage, with jumpy frame gates, blown out video, blown out audio, missing frames, dirty frames, and visible encoding lines at bottom of the screen, which are likely from a VHS copy of the film that Alpha Video used to burn to a DVD. The movie really deserves a better transfer, but I think this is the best we’re going to get.

    What Dreams May Come

    What Dreams May Come: Directed by Vincent Ward. With Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., Annabella Sciorra, Max von Sydow. Chris Nielsen dies in an accident, and enters Heaven. But when he discovers that his beloved wife Annie has killed herself out of grief over the loss, he embarks on an afterlife adventure to reunite with her.

    Another stop along my way to officially watching all of Robin’s films, “What Dreams May Come” has always been a rough film for me to watch, as the topics strike a little to close to home for my comfort. Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra are great, but man this is an emotionally taxing film.

    Themed summer camps for children

    What if you dedicate your child’s vacation to his or her hobby? For this, there are summer sports or creative camps. Also, Christmas camp in Singapore has become very popular recently. Read on to find out what the themes of the summer camps are and choose the one that’s best for your child.

     

    Choosing a Camp

    When choosing a camp for your child, you are guided by the idea that camp is a place where he should get stronger, and healthier, learn to be independent and make new friends. Above all, recreation should be fun, not “out of hand”, when the child serves the vacations and can’t wait for the end of the shift. For this, you need to make sure that your child was interested to spend time in the chosen camp.

     

    Today there are a lot of themed camps with different orientations: sports, dance, language, sports, and tourism (including extreme, where children learn to survive in the wilderness), dedicated to their favorite movies or books, computer and robotics or management in business, etc.

     

    To please your child’s tastes, look for a camp on a topic of interest to him in the current abundance of offerings.

     

    If the child has not yet decided in his hobbies, it still makes sense to buy a ticket to a themed camp. Here he can learn new activities: sports, drawing, theater, programming, chess, and more.

     

    Most camps try to give children the opportunity to choose from a wide range of activities, and that’s fine.

     

    So, a themed summer camp is the same camp for rest and recuperation as a regular camp. The only difference is that the cultural program of the thematic camp is not “scattered” in a variety of hobbies, and gives preference to one or more of the themes. We can distinguish these topics: sports (various martial arts, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, chess, etc.), tourism, biological, technical, and language. Such camps may be as day camps (that is, parents brought in the morning and picked up in the evening) and full shifts (10, 14, 21 days, or other options).

    If you’re looking for a children’s creative camp

    Creative-themed camps don’t lag behind sports camps in quantity and quality of offerings. Spending time in such camps develops the child’s creative potential and is even more exciting. In drawing up the program of rest in such camps, the main emphasis is on creative activities. See below for examples of such camps.

     

    Career camps for teens

    Recently, more and more relevant are becoming camps with career guidance for teenagers from 10 – 16 years. In such institutions, your child will be shown, told and, most importantly, given the opportunity to try the profession he chose. Or maybe a person is still undecided? Then it is possible to get acquainted with the most popular professions, and in time to decide on the choice. Do you think that a child is too early to think about choosing a profession? But in today’s world, everything is changing and improving so quickly that the earlier teenagers understand and choose their career path, the better and easier it will be for them in life.

    Conclusion

    Camp is a time that your child can devote to interesting activities, learn something new, make friends, and have their own unique life experience. Let the rest pass with benefit and in an informal atmosphere, let the child learn and master new abilities, knowledge, and skills. And all that parents need to know to let their child go on vacation with a light heart, is look for in the section devoted to children’s camps.
