In 1992, the year following the original film’s release, registrations to the United States Parachute Association, the national governing body for skydiving, shot up 29 percent. I caught up with several of them to talk about the influence of the original, and how they believe their work in the latest Point Break could inspire a new generation of devotees. The reboot, directed by Ericson Core and starring Luke Bracey as FBI agent Johnny Utah and Edgar Ramirez as Bodhi, eschewed computer generated imagery in favor of real stunts from some of the most creative athletes in snowboarding, skateboarding, climbing, surfing, and wingsuit BASE jumping. Scenes featuring progressive surfing and skydiving inspired not only a generation of athletes, but have led to a remake, which opens Christmas Day. No cinematic masterpiece-its sins include corny dialogue, dopey acting, and contrived scenarios- Point Break still got enough right about the spirit of action sports to create an enduring legacy. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow ( Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker) and starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, the plot concerned an FBI agent infiltrating a crew of surfers and skydivers who rob banks to finance their thrill-seeking lifestyle. Then in the summer of 1991, Point Break premiered. “Big movie productions make something rad cheesy,” says pro skater Bob Burnquist. If you remember those movies, it’s probably for the wrong reasons. The 1980s, when a lot of action sports were in their infancies, include some of the worst offenses: Hot Dog (1984, skiing), Rad (1986, motocross), North Shore (1987, surfing), and Gleaming the Cube (1989, skateboarding). There are so many physics problems to address here that I’m just going to move on.Hollywood seldom portrays action sports in a way that makes practitioners proud. Mind you, Swayze hasn’t even pulled the cord on his chute when Utah catches up to him. Thanks to an implied mastery of aerodynamics, Utah catches up to Bodhi (aka a blatant stunt double for Swayze) and is able to grab and hold onto him for the remainder of the ride. He decides to jump out of the airplane himself despite not having a chute. Swayze’s character, Bodhi, makes his escape from Johnny Utah by skydiving out of an airplane into Mexico, but Utah has one last trick up his sleeve. There is a plethora of ridiculous action scenes in this movie, but this one takes the cake. Keanu jumps out of an airplane without a parachute. ![]() It’s definitely foreshadowing for the Matrix classic: “I know kung fu.”Ģ. Hearing his character, Johnny Utah (a blatant rip-off of Joe Montana), proclaim “I am an F-B-I agent” in monotone before helping the bad guys rob a bank is classic Keanu. Say what you want about Keanu Reeves’s patented mannequin acting style, but it’s really entertaining in the right setting. ![]() To make matters infinitely worse, the woman in question is a notorious character with an ill-earned reputation. For a woman to let down her hair in public was regarded as scandalous, and for this woman to then anoint the body of a male rabbi was shocking in the extreme. While this occurrence would be considered outlandish enough in our modern milieu, it is all the more jarring given the social customs of the time. The interaction takes place in Galilee, in the home of a certain Simon the Pharisee. The first of these, delineated only in Luke, is the scene of an anonymous “woman of the city, who was a sinner” who comes to Jesus with a flask of ointment and uses this, mingled with her tears, to wipe his feet (Luke 7:37). For the bulk of the Western tradition, however, it is evident that there were two anointings, and only two. An unwelcome roadblock for homilists today is the seeming surfeit of nameless women in the Gospels coming to anoint the feet of Jesus with their hair. We begin by examining the reasons for identifying Mary of Bethany with the woman from Luke 7. Like him, it is my firm conviction that if the traditional depiction can be vindicated, then Mary Magdalene shines forth as a far greater saint as a result-a vivid instantiation of John Henry Newman’s “ Saint of Love,” the model of perfect penitence whose heart burned with ardent longing for her Master and Friend. In making this case, I have freely drawn from Fr. In addition, it suggests that modern critics have been overly hasty in jettisoning-and, more often than not, ridiculing-some fifteen hundred years of liturgical and hagiographical testimony which favors the traditional view. If my argument is successful, then it demonstrates that the traditional Western view remains exegetically reasonable, and believers today can be intellectually justified in holding to the ancient devotion. Secondly, I shall argue that a plausible case can be made for the further identification of this composite figure with the person of Mary Magdalene. ![]() On the basis of what the French exegete André Feuillet termed a “convergence of probabilities,” I shall argue, first, that Mary of Bethany is very likely the same person as the “woman of the city, who was a sinner” (Luke 7:37). I shall therefore attempt to recover the alluring yet elusive figure of Mary Magdalene as presented to us in the canonical Gospels. I think these critics are wrong, and I am convinced that the Medievals and the early Western Church got it right. Some feminist scholars went even further, arguing that by depicting the saint as a reformed prostitute, the Medieval Church was actively trying to disparage the role of women in the Christian community. With the rise of critical scholarship in the twentieth century, it became increasingly fashionable for academics to dismiss the ancient devotion as pious reverie. Yet today the traditional view has been almost entirely rejected. Here was one who had dramatically overcome her vices, offering hope to the most hardened sinner.Īlthough a number of Eastern Fathers took a different view, this vision of the Magdalene as sinner-turned-saint became the consensus position in the West for over a thousand years. The popular portrayal of her as a reformed prostitute (a characterization never explicitly stated in Scripture, but often inferred on the basis of Luke 7), far from being an attempt to denigrate her, served only to strengthen ordinary people’s devotion to this fascinating heroine. Thus conceived, Mary Magdalene garnered extraordinary appeal throughout the Middle Ages as a potent symbol of what God’s grace could accomplish in the hearts of his wayward children. From its earliest days, Western Christianity championed the view that Mary Magdalene is simply another title for Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus, whom today we tend to call Mary of Bethany and they further identified this Mary with the unnamed sinful woman who anoints the feet of Jesus in the seventh chapter of Luke’s Gospel. Upon reading Davidson’s work, I quickly learned that the enormous cult to Mary Magdalene that existed during the Middle Ages was animated by a very particular perspective. The title of the book was Saint Mary Magdalene: Prophetess of Eucharistic Love, and my friend assured me that it did a good job clarifying the various Marys who appear on the pages of the Gospels. Later on that same trip, one of my fellow pilgrims recommended to me a book by an Irish priest called Fr. Realizing I was just a few feet away from the spot where this profound exchange took place brought tears to my eyes. While sitting at the base of one of the many columns in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, I found myself meditating on Saint John’s description of the first encounter between Mary Magdalene and the Risen Lord (see John 20:11–18). It was during a visit to the Holy Land in the summer of 2019 that I first got to know one of history’s most mysterious saints. ![]() With its modern infrastructure and diverse cultural offerings, it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East.

![]() The most erotic film ever made about a window washer, “Squeegee” follows a delightfully weird tryst between a career woman and the scruffy younger man who washes her office windows. As always in Puccini’s work, the characters are tender and natural the images aglow with intimacy. “Dirty” explores the awkwardness of a more universal folly - bottoming for the first time. “The Mess He Made” starred Max Jenkins as a man waiting for the results of an HIV test, and “Lavender” featured Michael Urie as half of a couple who invite a younger third into their longterm relationship. With a light touch and a lyrical eye, Puccini’s shorts play like a moving triptych of quietly pivotal moments in the lives of queer men. Three films in, and director Mathew Puccini has pretty much covered the gamut of queer experience. Many of the scenarios are surprisingly moving, like the guy who just wants to see a pretty girl call him “honey” and “love.” ![]() The film shows the coupe lugging camera equipment around their California home, interviewing the performers, and recounting customers and requests that stuck with them. Customers approach them with fantasies, whether to explore a specific fetish or to revisit an erotic childhood memory, and the Humes then craft them into bespoke porn. Though they began their career in mainstream porn, the duo soon recognized an opening for user-designed content. This funky little documentary explores the world of custom-order porn, a niche filmmaking enterprise designed by married couple Dan and Rhiannon Humes. They’re all available online, though you’ll have to head over to YouTube for the more explicit titles, and each one has its own unique vibe. Whether it’s a feminist genre take on actual bloodlust, or a comedy about an erotic encounter where the two people never touch, these films celebrate the full spectrum of human desire. While mainstream Hollywood struggles to address human sexuality in any meaningful way, these four recently-released short films explore sex and desire with a refreshing playfulness. What’s more, younger and emerging filmmakers naturally have a finger on the pulse of more progressive ideas, ensuring a broader range of perspectives. Most filmmakers begin to craft their voices with shorts, and given the significance of making a strong first impression, the format encourages creative risks. With any luck, the new reality will broaden movie lovers’ horizons enough to include short films, which U.S. Audiences can now experience a wider variety of films online, opening a world of possibilities that will hopefully benefit smaller films. As film festivals pivot to the ever-shifting landscape of distribution and sales, the way we consume independent film is changing more dramatically than anyone could have predicted. ![]() Trained as a lawyer, he entered politics as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, won a seat in the New York State Senate, and was elected to the United States Senate in 1821. ![]() He is the only president to have spoken English as a second language.
