saint valentine


Saint Valentine refers to one of several martyred saints of ancient Rome. The feast of Saint Valentine was formerly celebrated on february 14 by the Roman Catholic Church until a revised calendar was issued in 1969, pursuant to the Second Vatican Council.His feast day is July 30 in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
His birth date and birthplace are unknown. Valentine's name does not occur in the earliest list of Roman martyrs, which was compiled by the Chronographer of 354.
The feast of St. Valentine was first decreed in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, who included Valentine among those (" whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God.") As Gelasius implied, nothing is known about the lives of any of these martyrs.

mall rats


i think it's a fantastic film because it shows an informal life that you can't see every day in tv.
the director for being the most important has a little paper in the film.
the film is abaut the live of frikies in a grand store with many adventures.
it's a very funny film and enterteining and I recomend it to everybody.

opinion of director->

Kevin: I think Mallrats is very funny. I'm on your side. It's a movie that's very dear to my heart, but it went right in the shitter. When you do a movie like Clerks, then a movie like Mallrats that goes right in the shitcan, everyone says, "Ha ha, wiseass." So rather than subject yourself to that, you steal their thunder by saying it first.
There's this infamous moment where I was on stage giving an award away with Laura Dern, and I opened up by saying, "I want to take this time to apologize for Mallrats. I don't know what I was thinking." It was said in a very tongue-in-cheek fashion; it was a joke. But some people thought it was serious. Roger Ebert, in his review of Chasing Amy, said, "He started out with a great movie called Clerks, then followed up with a movie that was so bad that he apologized for it."
