What I appreciated most about t his movie was that John, one of the main characters is a homeschool student who entered a film festival and won! Congratulations to them, right!!!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I can't wait for this movie. Here's a link to the trailer:

An Unexpected Journey

I was a Male War Bride

Cary Grant is a very expressive personalis onity on film... here are a few quotation from the movie:

"Yes, I'm a war bride, traveling under the authority of the War Brides Act of the United States Congress." Cpt. Henri Rochard

"He's a lot of fun to fight with." Lt. Catherine Gates

"I'm learning what it's like to be a soldier's wife." Cpt. Henri Rochard

Despicable Me

I couldn't stop laughing at this film! It was fantastic! There are dark moments, but in the end good triumphs!

The Minions with their physical humor are worth grinning at if nothing else!

"Whaaaaat!"

"Liiiiight buulbb!"

Steve Carrell does a great job with his accent and little sayings ;-)

The River Within

This movie is a down-to-earth story about a man who returns to his hometown and awaits his results from the BAR exam. So he takes a summer job as a youth pastor at his church and it changes his life. I appreciated it greatly and recommend it highly.

You can tell that this is a low budget movie, but they do an excellent job!

The Second Chance

This was an interesting movie, makes you rethink what it means to be a church and what "mission" trips are all about... If you get a chance, swing by a video store and check it out!

Horton Hears a Who!

"A person's a person, no matter how small"

Katie: In my world everyone is a pony, and they all eat rainbows, and poop butterflies.

Horton: We must become invisible, travel silently, for there are forces that would seek to destroy us.

This was a cute movie! You should go see it!

I was a little annoyed at the "pouch schooled" comment, but that comes of knowing it sounded like a jab at homeschooled kids/parents and she was a snob and a jerk, who wants to be associated with that?

Alan and Naomi

Alan and Naomi is a touching story about friendship and what it means to stick with those you care about—young Naomi is a girl who watched her father die during WWII.

Alan is a typical sports playing, outdoorsy boy and he has no interest in sitting with a strange girl who doesn’t speak, but his mother asks him to sit with Naomi anyway.

What and see what happens!

Home at Last is a movie about the orphan train… something I don’t remember hearing about before this particular film.
It stars a young Adrien Brody, his character is an upstart who is bound and determined to escape from these life of quiet countryside family. Basically it’s a good one to watch if you like warm fuzzies. There is some sadness—oh and a special treat of course… a Morgan Harris (Frank Converse), except his name in this movie is Nils Anderson.

You should watch it!

violence and choice of viewing

I think I have friends that have seen and like Kingdom of Heaven and since I just mentioned not liking blood and gore, I thought I'd focus on that movie for a minute... in fact it may come off the sidebar list soon, but I wanted to "camp" there for a bit.

The religious content is what caused me to highlight it at all, the way in which the peasants, noblemen, and priesthood, "Christian" and "Muslim" participants reacted at the heart of it intrigued me. People fighting for a cause, people fighting for religion, fighting to save their homes...

What is Jerusalem worth?

Nothing. And everything!

The interaction between the different religious backgrounds of those who didn't really know more than 'this is the religion I have grown up with and this is my world...' but should it be and hasn't there been enough bloodshed?

When does it end... all those things strike my heart.

For you see, I don't think it will end, the killing--it's happening now, for the exact same reasons. We don't hear about it much, just now and then, but people die every day because of what they stand for--who they believe in--persecution for a belief held dear. I'm not blind enough, nor arrogant enough to assume that only a Christian can lose a life for standing firm.

My but I expect that breaks God's very heart.

The Ultimate Gift

For those of you who don't know I like clean movies; explicit sex, a lot of violence (especially over bloodied), and foul mouths are of little interest to me. I just finished reading a not too friendly review of this movie, that it seems FoxFaith thinks Christians must be brain-dead for making such a sappy no-account movie... but I've seen the film and while I admit it is not the most stunning movie I've ever watched, it is clean (no clean does not equal good quality) at least it's better than all the junk that's heaped and heaped on us all the time in the news and on prime time TV as well as the theater...

I liked it, there was a little underdevelopment when it came to the characters, it felt like there were blank spots... as if maybe the story was taken from a book and as a matter of fact it was... where there is more time to delve into those characters. If you want something with a bittersweet ending, go for it!
