review/giveaway

The film, "Magdalena: Through Her Eyes," is the true story of Jesus seen through the eyes of Mary Magdalene – a story of tenderness, freedom and purpose.  "Magdalena" reveals what can happen when women refuse to live in defeat and choose to discover their real value.
Who better than Mary Magdalene to show us the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through a woman's eyes and heart. 
Nobody can tell a love story like a woman who's experienced it first hand. That's what Magdalena is doing on this moving and compelling DVD.  As she tells the story of Jesus you are right there in the experiences, holding your breath, following the plot, and anticipating a great end.

review/giveaway

Could you give your child's life for others who were in trouble?  "Most" is a moving movie about a loving father who has to make that very decision. This father loves his son beyond anything. The son also loves his father very much. Can this father give up his son's life so that others may live?  

John 3:16 tells us of this very same love. God gave his only son, a son whom he loved very much, so that we can have everlasting life.

MOST, the Czech word for "The Bridge," is a fitting title for this 21st-century parable about a loving father, his young son, and the fateful day when they attempt to head off an impending rail disaster.

The plot of this story is:

A father and son love each other very much. Stargazing or enjoying tea together, the two are nearly inseparable. One day, Lada, the son, asks his father if he can join him at the bridge. The bridge is where the father works as an operator, raising a drawbridge when a boat must pass and lowering it when the train arrives. On the one day that Lada joins his father at work, a train arrives early. Lada tries to alert his father that the train is early, but his father cannot hear him. Father is away, inspecting some machinery. So, the boy rushes to throw the switch manually, enabling the drawbridge to drop and let the train safely pass. But, by the time the father discovers the problem, Lada has accidentally fallen into the drawbridge wheel and pulley mechanisms. The father must make a choice. Save his son and let the train wreck. Or, lower the bridge, save the train and sacrifice his son to the crushing wheels.

Review/Giveaway

"Rust" is an exceptionally great movie!   I am so glad Rodney and Provident Films asked me to review this film for them.  I didn't expect this movie to be as good as it was by just reading the back of the case.  I did not move from my seat from the beginning till the end. 

When the story first begins Jimmy,( Corbin Bernsen) the main character questions God about why he doesn't show him the answers to the reasons things happen the way they do in life.  Jimmy is a minister who decides to quit preaching and return to the town that he grew up in.  Jimmy has been gone from this town and his family for several years.

Once returning to Kipling, Jimmy finds out there has been a local tragedy, claiming the lives of a new family, and that his childhood friend has been perceived the cause of it.  

By searching out the truth, Jimmy not only finds the true answers but the true answers he has been searching for inside himself.

"Rust" has a true meaning that is brought out in the end.  This story deals with human compassion and sacrifice just as Jesus himself sacrificed his life for ours.  Excellent meaning-excellent acting-excellent movie.

I would recommend this story for every family to watch together.

"The Way Home" DVD Review/Giveaway Closed!

"The Way Home" DVD

Review/Giveaway  Closed!!!

"The Way Home " is about a  a husband and father torn between the demands of his job and family.  Asked by his wife to watch their two-year-old son, Joe, for a few minutes, he becomes distracted by work.  When he returns, Joe is gone.  He and his wife search desperately for their missing son through the vast countryside.  But as their fear grows, the community responds – hundreds of supporters uniting behind the family in a powerful spiritual journey that will test the couple’s love and faith, and forever change a community.

When Randy (DEAN CAIN) thinks his son is gone forever he asks God to bring him home.  Hundreds of the neighbors hunt for Joe.  They form prayer chains and prayer circles.  A certain neighbor really takes Joe's disapearence as a personal indevour.  He is determined to find little Joe.

The film was completed on time and on budget. Once post-production was completed, THE WAY HOME screened at the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta attended by more than three thousand people. The film was a big hit with the audience. Randy Simpkins says, "An overwhelming number of people came up to me after viewing the film and thanked me for sharing my testimony, and let me know that the message of the film -- to make your faith, family and community the top priorities in your life , which is the same lessons that God taught me that day -- really spoke to them and made them reconsider how they were living their lives".

It is that type of reaction that the Simpkins family hoped for in agreeing to have their personal testimony made into a film, and one that also makes the filmmakers grateful for having had the opportunity to do so.

"The Way Home" is a good family movie about just that-family.  I believe it could have had a little more detail such as more into the characters lives.  It was kind of lacking something.  But all in all, "The Way Home" makes you think about life and your family and how easiliy you can lose them.

"The Way Home" is based on a true story and the movie is filmed on the actual countryside.

"Upside" DVD Review/Giveaway Closed!

"Upside" DVD

Review/Giveaway Closed!

"Upside" is a delightful and inspirational movie about life as we all see it, sometimes. 

Rodney and Provident Films asked me to review this awesome movie and I am so glad I did.

"Upside" is about a young talented athlete who has everything going for him.  Solomon, or Soli, as his friends call him, is the star lacrosse player with a great chance to play for a leading college until one day he is injured while playing the game.

All things suddenly change when Soli realizes he can only see things upside down.  Not knowing now what the future holds, Soli begins to question what really matters.

Along comes Wren, a blind girl, that can really see life as it should be seen, through God's ways.  Wren introduces Soli to church and God.  Soli soons begins to like Wren alot.

"Upside" really makes you think about what matters most in life. 

When you're facing life's twists and turns, it's important to know what you believe. This fresh story of faith, romance, and coming of age is an inspiring reminder that when life gets you down, there's always an UPSIDE.

My favorite part of this movie is when Soli takes Wren to the aquarium to "see" the animals.  Wren is amazed at how the sharks feel to her touch and how she isn't scared of them.  Soli asks Wren if she ever regrets being blind and she says she doesn't because she can feel how things really are instead of how others see them. 

"Upside" is an amazing movie that teaches the real value of our self worth.

I would recommend this movie to all families and youth groups to view.

It really leaves you feeling good inside!



Randall Bentley plays Solomon White



"UPSIDE" is the first feature film produced by Spyplane Films.

"Bringing Up Bobby" DVD Review/Giveaway Closed!

"Bringing Up Bobby" DVD Closed!

Review/Giveaway

"Bringing Up Bobby" is a different kind of comedy about being kind of different. Finally there is a great funny movie for Christian families to enjoy!

I was so excited when Rodney and Provident Films ask me to review this movie.

"Bringing Up Bobby" is a hilarious movie about a family with a zany sense of humor.  The cast of this family are all coming together to read their parents Will when, seeking Christ ends up being the final reason for being together.

The casts of charactors include:

James is the big brother. He has  spent the last twelve years raising his siblings, which meant skipping college and staying away from the ladies. From boxing matches to serious talks while dressed in costume, he knows how to make parenting fun. A goofball around women, nobody knows what will happen now that he has a crush on his sister's lawyer.

Bobby is about to turn 16 and still very unsure of how to really act in life.  He is shy and willing to change his image to impress. Much like his older brother, Bobby is awkward around girls. That could be because Bobby is unsure of who he is and what he believes about God. But James is determined to change Bobby's ways.

Dennis is on the run from a group of "antichrists" to whom he owes a great deal. He is coming home in hopes to aquire a great deal of money to pay off the bad guys. In the end he pays off a different kind of debt.

Liz is the new girl in town. She is a  strong Christian and  believes in encouraging others to follow after the Lord.

Terry is a smart, beautiful young lawyer with a quick wit and a ready smile.  She has a less-than-secret crush on James.

Eric, Bobby's best friend, is a Goth teenager with a tough life. Taking responsibility for his alcoholic mother often keeps him up late at night, which means he is falling behind at school. But Eric's sense of humor allows him to fit in well with James and Bobby, even as he looks toward an uncertain future.

Andrea  is a shopaholic who delights in pushing around the men in her life. She uses her charm, whit, and legal power to wrap people around her fingers. Her taste in gaudy clothing and the finer things in life make her hard to miss. Not given to manual labor, she happily pushes work onto her husband, Walter. Andrea will stop at nothing to get everything she wants.

Walter is the husband to Andrea who barely gets to utter a word of his own opinion and is used to Andrea telling him what to do.

Altogether this funny and different family work together through all their complete differences and in the end God is victorious in each of their lives.

I really liked this movie.  It teaches that money isn't everything but that family and a good relationship with Christ is what matters most!
