My Review: 

 

This movie is based on a true story detailing the adventure of Donn Fendler and how he was lost on a mountain all alone. He wanted him and his brother to climb all the way to the top. They wanted to go along and prove that they are ready to be men without their father. A big storm come and the brother got lost. He was able to survive by himself for nine whole days. He faced hidden dangers that could have ended his life. There was one gross scene featuring worms that was kind of creepy. He was separated from his dad and brother while on a hiking trip. I do believe his father was rough on raising his kids because he wanted them to learn to be men and be tough. And later on, I think he realized that he was a little to touch on them. I liked how the film also included commentary from the real-life story randomly popping up adding more dialect to the story. The main characters are played by Caitlin FitzGerald (Masters of Sex, It’s Complicated), Paul Sparks (House of Cards, Boardwalk Empire), Luke David Blumm (The Watchers, Where the Crawdads Sings), Ethan Slater (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) just to name a few. Also, an important highlight is the producer is no other than Sylvester Stallone. The film was very interesting in watching how Donn was able go survive in the wildness by himself and the hope they held on to that they would see their son again. It was also touching to see countless number of volunteers helping search for their lost son.

• “Excellent presentation of a life changed by Jesus” - Fred Higgins from Assembly of God 

• Synopsis: Set in the peak of the 1960s Civil Rights movement, “Paul's Promise” is the inspiring true story of Paul Holderfield, former racist firefighter-turned-pastor who started one of the first integrated churches in the American South. It’s one man’s journey to hope and healing during a troubled time in our Nation’s history that resulted in one man’s decision to serve God and stand up to injustice - a story that continues to make a huge impact on the community to this day.  

My Review:

 

I immensely enjoyed watching this new film that touched on racist and segregation in a difficult time. It was heartbreaking to see how Paul would ignore his best friend who happened to be Black when in front of his other peers. Paul’s character was also a guy who had a serious addiction to drinking and he didn’t treat others very nicely especially his wife. It was very enlightening to see Paul eventually change his life around and choose to service God and he started one of the first integrated churches in a time where it wasn’t approved was frowned upon. It reminded me of a modern story of Saul become Paul in scriptures. I also thought how they included Paul’s mother battling health issues added to the dynamic change of Paul. She was a praying woman who wanted her son to carry on and pray for her prayer list. I also liked how they had Dean Tanaka in this film playing the captain. He is always good in whatever he stars in. Many fans will recognize him from Christmas movies to serious crime roles. This film displayed a powerful message about loving others and always remembering that anyone can change and sometimes that starts with a simple prayer.

My Review: 

Family Camp is an awesome family friendly movie. It is good for anyone from around eight years old and up. The film really tried to add laughter to the overall message of the film. Both families aren’t perfect and they both have their own issues. I liked how they added an over-the-top religious acting family and then we see the other family trying to live up to their standards in a more hilarious attempt. I liked how there wasn't any bad language in this film. I liked Leigh-Allyn Bake in this film and I thought she did a wonderful job of playing a mother who cares about her family and wants a fun activity to bring them closer together. I also liked being introduced to The Skit Guys—Tommy Woodard and Eddie James. This is the first time I have heard of them. I think they both added fun humor when they did crazy competing events at the camp. I thought personally when the two families did the big ball game it was hilarious. I have always wanted to personally try that but I imagine it would be pretty warm being trapped in a giant ball. Also, when they both got lost in the woods those fun bonding times also added a lot of laughter to the film. I also liked seeing Heather Land in the film and she played a fun role of her crushing on the camp director. I also liked the music part of Rhett Walker performing an original song. I didn't care for the other family 's singing. They added it for funny scenes but they don't need to try out for Idol. This is one of sing with a joyful noise moment. I also loved when they had the encounter with the beaver. He truly had some good parts. Overall, it is a good family friendly movie and I think all of their acting was spot on. Even with it being a Christian movie, this one wasn’t cheesy or anything of the sorts. It was very enjoyable that I think Hollywood is going to be paying attention to how well it does.

The Mulligan Movie Review in Theaters on April 18 and 19 and Novel Giveaway

• Whether it’s a second shot during a friendly round, rediscovering lost priorities, or the opportunity to make something good of a situation gone bad, there are times we all could use a mulligan. 

• Based on the popular book by Wally Armstrong and Ken Blanchard, THE MULLIGAN is an inspiring reminder that second chances are only one step away. From the producer of BOBBY JONES: STROKE OF GENIUS, and the director-producer team behind THE ULTIMATE GIFT comes THE MULLIGAN, sporting an all-star cast that includes Eric Close (NASHVILLE, AMERICAN SNIPER) as Paul, Pat Boone as the Old Pro, and PGA golfer Tom Lehman and broadcasting legend Jim Nantz as themselves. See it in theaters for two nights only on April 18 & 19.

 

About the book, The Mulligan:

 

THE MULLIGAN is based on the beloved book by former PGA touring pro Wally Armstrong and bestselling author and business executive Ken Blanchard. This inspiring story about relationships, forgiveness, and priorities is a shot of grace. Golf's gracious do-over, a mulligan is the beginning of Paul McAllister’s second chance. Guided by the wisdom and advice of the Old Pro, Paul learns about priorities, self-confidence, and playing a good game both on and off the course. The Mulligan is a parable of second chances.  

 

 

My Review:

 

The Mulligan is a movie about a leading business executive and CEO, Paul McAllister and he is a workaholic. Paul is separated from his wife for five years. His wife is a big time Christian and believes and prays for her family and still has hope. He doesn’t really have a relationship with either his son anymore. One day, he is participating in a charity gold event to try and connect with another business leader. During the game, he allows his anger to the best of them and he breaks the golf club. One of the golf introduced him to Old Pro and he tries to influence him and teach him what a mulligan is and how he can have a do over with his family. His son is also a professional motor cross racer who gets into a serious accident. His father is forced to take care of his son and we get an inside look on the pain his son feels. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome movie to anyone who enjoys golf and is also seeking a story about forgiveness and a strong message about second chances. I loved watching Eric Close in this movie and fans will recognize him from Nashville, Suits, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, the Magnificent Seven, just to name a few. I also liked seeing that Gary Weeks was in this movie and fans will recognize him from Outer Banks. I immensely enjoyed watching him act in a movie that had such a positive message about second chances. I liked seeing the relationship change between father and son and the message on how they were able to reconnect. This movie is also very family friendly and it’s a movie to keep re-watching. I also loved how the older pro golf was able to teach Paul the importance of life and the power of second chances.

Church People Movie Review and DVD Giveaway

CHURCH PEOPLE is now available on DVD & Digital! 

 

• CHURCH PEOPLE is a Christian comedy about the megachurch mega production sub culture and getting back to the simplicity of the Gospel, starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Hallmark Channel’s Erin Cahill, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.  

• We could all use a good laugh right now, and Church People is a movie your whole family can LOL to from the comfort of your own home!  

• This film has a powerful message about rediscovering your passion for Christ and learning to surrender what you hold dearest, all told in an incredibly humorous way. 

 

 

• Synopsis: 

 

Weary from the showiness and materialism that has overtaken his ministry efforts, Guy (Ramsey) goes on a journey to get back in touch with the heart of ministry and be a real role model to his youth group kids. He makes the difficult decision to cut short his speaking tour managed by his money-focused agent (Faison) after realizing that his reputation has become more fame based than Gospel-driven. But when Guy attempts to return to regular youth ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading the youth group from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service, starring a young, zealous new Believer, Blaise. In attempting to manage his youth group while navigating an unexpected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter (Cahill) and being a new father to his grown daughter (Manfredi), Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves. 

 

 

My Review:

 

I watched this movie for the second time in over a year. I was reminded about how a lot of churches/speaking engagements try and add fun activities in order to lure in new believers and to keep it fresh where people will keep returning. This movie is all about trying to focus just on the Gospel and the true message. Joey Fatone buys a over the top character and he sings constantly trying to impress the pastor’s daughter. He is attempting to win her in marriage. In viewing it a second time, there is parts you forget about. One of these was the character Blaise and how his parents are a “yes” parents’ system. They allow their son to do whatever he pleases. He wanted to be the one to participate in the crucifixion reenactment and his parents were all in support of it. It has a powerful message about not forgetting the true message of Christ instead focusing on the teaching of the Gospel.

Tiger Rising Movie Review and Giveaway

Film Synopsis:

Queen Latifah and Dennis Quaid star in this beloved tale based on the New York Times best-selling book by Kate DiCamillo. When 12-year-old Rob Horton (Christian Convery) discovers a caged tiger in the woods near his home, his imagination runs wild and life begins to change in the most unexpected ways. With the help of a wise and mysterious maid, Willie May (Queen Latifah) and the stubborn new girl in school (Madalen Mills), he navigates through childhood memories, heartache, and wondrous adventures in this heartwarming adaptation.

 

 

My Review: 

 

I would recommend this movie to children from middle school aged to high school. I think some elementary level might be able to watch the movie but parents would probably to watch it first to decide. I liked how the movie touched on bullying, physical, and verbal abuse. It was heartbreaking to witness how judged this little boy who suffered from a rare rash that was a medical condition. He wasn’t allowed in school for most of the movie because they are afraid it’s contagious and there was a great deal of judgement towards him. He meets a new girl at school who has a rough childhood with an absent father and she believes he is coming back to get her. I will say I didn’t care for this little girl’s attitude in the movie. She just seemed very hateful and bossy. In the movie, we see their imagination grow and they meet a tiger and they want to set it free from the cage. I do believe my most favorite actress in the movie is Queen Latifah hands down. She played a maid and she added motherly wise to the movie. One of my most favorite things, she had was a conversation with Rob about his legs and the rash. She explained to him how to let the sadness rise up. Dennis Quaid played more of a jerk in this movie and cared more about himself only. The boy’s father wasn’t much better in my opinion when the boy’s mother died (played by Katharine McPhee). He was told to pretty much stop crying because it wouldn’t bring her back. There was a lot of sadness, hurt, pain, and even some abuse from bullying in the film. It covered a lot of difficult topics present and there is a number of different emotions with the main goal of how important it is to handle our emotions.

Redeeming Love Movie Review

• REDEEMING LOVE is a life-changing story of the power of unconditional and all-consuming love 

• REDEEMING LOVE is coming to theaters January 21, 2022! 

• You and your friends will walk away impacted by the perfect, relentless love of the Father after watching the film. 

Synopsis:

Based on the bestselling novel by Francine Rivers, REDEEMING LOVE is a powerful story of relentless love and perseverance as a young couple’s relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850. Angel expects only pain from those around her. Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel survives with hatred towards herself and the men that use her. She meets Michael Hosea, a farmer who believes God wants Angel to be his wife. Dire circumstances force Angel to accept his proposal, but when Michael defies her bitter expectations, her wounded heart begins to mend. As Angel encounters a love unlike anything she ever experienced, feelings of unworthiness and shame cause her to run from a life she doesn’t think she deserves. As Michael sets out to find her, Angel discovers there is no brokenness that love can’t heal. 

My Review:

I would recommend this movie to anyone who ready to receive the power of the love of God into their lives. This movie was very entertaining and I loved how it contained such a powerful message and how it’s based off of the Book of Hosea. I haven’t ever read the book but after seeing the movie, I really would like to read the book to see the differences. At first glance viewers are seeing Angel lose her mother and meeting a father who didn’t care about her. We see a little girl lost in the world alone viewers can feel her pain. One of the first scenes is seeing how she ended up her getting the name Angel. It was tough watching her experience men leading her and forcing into the path of prostitution. They didn’t care about how young she was at the time. Seeing Michael and how when they first met how he refused to sleep with her, instead he just wanted to talk to her and save her from that brothel and marry her. It was difficult at times watching her go forward and go backwards whenever she felt close to love she would run past to her past and it would only lead her to more trouble. The demons seemed to haunt her. I will say Michael was probably one of my favorite characters, I loved watching how he continued to love her and forgive her and he wasn’t bother with the fact that she was with many men sexually. He would reply on God and pray for her. The film does contain sexual images but they are still pretty clean in how they portray them and it does talk about rape and prostitution. One of the favorite actresses in this film was a duchess played by, Famke Janssen. She played Jean Grey in the original X-Men movie series and she did an excellent job at playing a dark character who only cares about money and running a brothel. I also loved the surprise at the ending and what her real name is revealed to be and how is able to display His love and how His promises can still happen. Overall, I believe this movie will be one of the top movies of this year. I know the book was very successful and it was original was published in 1991. It’s kind of surprising it took almost 30 years for it to be made into a movie.
