Pixar's latest film, "Cars 3," brings back our favorite race car, Lightning McQueen, for another turn around the track. When younger, faster cars start winning, he has to re-evaluate his racing. Cruz Ramierez becomes his new trainer but she considers him "old school." He might be old school but he still has something to give.

If your kids are familiar with the "Captain Underpants" books by Dav Pilkey, they will probably get a kick out of the age-appropriate potty humor and fart jokes in the movie. I have to confess that I really enjoyed the antics of George and Harold, having been one of those kids who giggled whenever there was a bit of flatulence.

What marks a person of virtue? What qualities make up that person’s character? How do those qualities show themselves in daily living? "The Circle" doesn’t really answer these questions but it does raise questions about how we make choices.

Celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima by watching a great movie about her message! You can check out the films in the blogpost, on this week's Salt + Light Radio Show, or visit my blogpost on Windows to the Soul to watch trailers for each film.

“A Quiet Passion,” the poetic biopic of Emily Dickinson is as unsung as its protagonist. Her quiet, unassuming life was both a solace and a source of angst for her whose soul expanded far beyond the social conventions of New England in the late 19th century.
