Time for Movie Reviews!

 Time for reviews.

Or, well, my opinion anyway.

I don't really review them,

because I don't want to give anything away!

 

Turnaround Jake was watched via Netflix.

I liked it

It had a Christian theme,

without it being in your face fake overload
(I'll explain that comment later)

 

 This was a pleasant surprise.

This is about a marriage that's failing.

I loved that they actually love each other and

if you know my reviews, you know that I only like movies

with happy endings..

(OK, I gave that one away,

but you'd get that from reading the description of the movie anyway!)

Another "Christian" movie, but not in your face overload.

 

I like how there was another man there, to, I guess tempt her

into leaving her husband,

but they made him just as nice as her husband.

It really was up to her to decide to fight or give up.
 

It had Gerald McRaney in it.

I really like him



You remember him from this show, don't you?

And he's married to Delta Burke!

Aren't they just the cutest couple?

The Song

Another "work on our marriage" movie!

The main character is Alan Powell, from the music group Anthem Lights!

(See HERE)

I really liked this movie, it took me on a roller coaster ride,

happy, sad, mad, happy...



 Heaven is Waiting

Another Christian move, but not in your face Christian.
(I'll explain that now)
 

What I mean by that, is that, it's just in the movie like it's the norm.

Like it should be.
 

I've really loved seeing this in these movies.

 

I really liked this movie.

A little slow, but really good.

 

 This one was very good also.

Another Christian movie.

This one we let our oldest watch with us,

but it does deal with the subject of suicide

and is, we feel, more for older kids 

 (our oldest is 15, which was a good age)

 

Really good movie about a teen that loses his father

and all he goes through afterward. 

 

 

 This one, had some pretty famous stars in it, like

Ashley Judd, Seth Green, and Ray Liotta.

I really liked how Ray Liotta was in this, he did a really good job.

Actually, so did Ashley Judd.

 

This movie was really corney though.

Because the main actor plays a twin to a famous singer,

who they made seem kind of like Elvis...but not Elvis.

They even mention Elvis in it at one point. 

Other than that, it was a pretty good movie.

(I had a hard time getting past the part that he was kind of like Elvis,

even looking like him)

I think this movie would have been better if they would not have

done that, but had a different actor and made his songs just a different type.

(they were not Elvis songs just songs like Elvis had)

 

This also was a Christian movie, but not in your face,

just the way it was naturally.

The Good Lie

 This was a really good movie!

This was based on a true story.

It really really makes you think about how we treat refugees

and if we are really helping them or not.

 Now, onto some bad ones.

I was excited to see this movie, The Best of Me.

It sure looks like a "Jamie Movie" from the cover, right?

Well, it was OK

I didn't like, and I'm going to give some things away here,

that they did NOT work on the marriage that was broken.

The woman has an affair

with the man that the viewer is supposed to want her to,

I guess.

I was just disappointed. 

That ruined it for me.

 

This movie, I actually saw before the above movies

where the couples actually worked on their marriages,

which is what made them so refreshing.

 Tom and I started watching this show via Netflix.

We made it through maybe 5 or 6

It seemed like it was going to be really good.

And, hey, I really like seeing Kevin Bacon in a regular show,

but it was just so dark and so, ummm, not happy-endingish.

 

If you know what I mean.
 

We got tired of everyone turning out to be bad in it.

So, and many might disagree with me on this one,

I give this thumbs down.

This one is in the middle for me.

 

I like these actors in this kind of movie.

It had bad things in it though.

Like, of course they sleep together.
And they talk about it.
 

But it was also kind of funny.

 

I feel guilty saying it, but I actually kind of liked it,

Oh, gosh sakes!

 Tom and I LOVE Blue Bloods!!

Now this show is really really good!

It has happy endings every single show

(we are on the 2nd season)

They have a problem and solve it every episode.

 

This is about a Catholic family

and they show Catholic things just in the normal every day life,

like eating a meal together every week as a family and praying before they eat.

 

(I do have one complaint, though, it bugs the crap out of me that

they do not pray the prayer before meals right.  I mean, if you are going to

make them a Catholic family and put it in there on purpose, get it right)

 

Tom Selleck

I love seeing him in the "Dad" role.

I wanted to see what he was doing now and if he was actually Catholic in real life.

I found out that he likes playing a role in a family that shows their faith.

(his soul is drawn to that holiness, the soul knows, I tell you, the soul knows)

But
 he said that he is not "religious" himself.
 

 

Since there was a "but" there,

let's all pray for him, OK?

 

 My kids are loving this show.

Yes, it's corney.

Yes, if there is a woman in the show, he will kiss her.

But it's clean and good!

 

 My 2 oldest girls are loving Doctor Who.

I think it's so stupid.

 

Cinderella

Oh, how I loved this movie!

We saw this a couple weeks ago, while our home had an open house.

It's out of the theaters now.

This one is a buying one.

As in, we have to own this one.

 

I won't tell you what she says at the end to her stepmother,

but it's beautiful. And probably my favorite part.

 

Well, the dance with the Prince has to be my favorite too...

it was really really good and flowy and it just made you want to be a princess.

Like we all are.

And, I love how he takes her breath away when he touches her back,
when they start to dance...and continues to take her breath away.
There was one point where she took his away too...loved that.
I loved that they showed that.

You can actually watch it on Youtube HERE
(don't know how long that link will work though, because I don't think
they are supposed to do that) 

I'll leave you with my new favorite song.

I think Steven Tyler looks really good and healthy

and I love the words to this.
You can see him HERE

 

 

Now if you've seen any of these, let me know your opinion!!
