Revisiting Facing the Giants

  Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7279051 Hello everyone,  I know this film has been analyzed and critiqued to death, but I thought I would give it a rewatch 19 years later.  Everyone commented on how the student at the beginning of the film transferred, and how it was a Christian School; the address doesn't matter, as it is a private school, so anyone can attend.  I think the filmmakers were trying to come up with a reason why or how they could have a student transfer to another school, and that is what they came up with.   Also, Coach Taylor is struggling with his finances, his car, the dryer doesn't work, and the house smells funny.  This is relatable to all of us, especially if we are going through a hard time.   When Coach Taylor is talking to his coaches in his office, the coaches comment that they will have another average season.  Then Coach Taylor says I am so sick of average seasons.  It brought up a t...

Encouraging films to see

  Here are a few mini reviews of good movies to encourage you in hard times.   I know I have many people who like me to do one film at a time, but here is a list of films that are good for any occasion or family outing.  All of these are getting my highest rating 5 stars.   Mountain Top  The first I will talk about is Mountain Top.  You can find this film on YouTube or on Up Faith and Family.  This film is about a lay leader filling in as pastor for a church while they are looking for one.  He is then accused of embezzling money from the church and seeks a pastor in town as his lawyer for help.  It is a whirlwind story about faith purpose, and the calling we have on all of our lives.  It is available on YouTube and UP Faith and Family.   Heritage Falls is the next on my list, butt I have a full review on this blog, please go read it.   Discarded Things  We all know about being discarded or taken for gra...

One of the most immoral movies I have ever seen.

  I have just watched one of the most immoral and violent pieces of garbage I have ever seen.  I found a 3-pack DVD; it must have been about 6 months to a year ago or more.  I found it tonight, wanting to watch an action movie with a good vs. evil theme, where the good guys win, but then I saw this.   The beginning of the film took way too long to get started.  You are waiting about 10 to 15 minutes for something to happen, then it turns to the bazaar.  Even in American Psycho, there was some sort of order in it, but in this film, there is no order.  Just a maniac on the loose, killing everyone in this small town.  There is no redeeming value in it.   Do not waste your time watching this film by Uwe Boll.  There is a reason he is the most hated director in Hollywood.  I guess I have to watch the crap so you don't have to.  There is no view of any kind of hope for society.  There is no God in this film. The killer...
