23 Blast Movie Review




  I just reviewed the movie "23 Blast" due in theaters tomorrow and it has to be one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.  This movie is  based on a true story about 2 childhood friends growing up in Kentucky,  where playing football is their favorite thing to do.  Jeff Baker and Travis Freeman are perfect on the football field from childhood through high school.

"The Way Home" DVD Review/Giveaway Closed!

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.
