Christian Movie Review: One Night With the King
One Night With the King is now one of my all-time favorite movies. Seriously. I went into watching it with little expectation – the story of Esther is one I am familiar with – but this movie really drew a lovely picture of the characters and the timeframe in which they lived, and I was [...]
Christian Movie Review: Avatar
As a kid growing up, my dad liked watching Star Trek. I became a Star Trek fan myself, and somewhat of a science fiction fan. Because I grew up in a Christian home, I emphasize fiction. The idea that life exists on other planets can be dealt with in the first few chapters of Genesis. [...]
Christian Movie Review: Robin Hood
Every Robin Hood movie I have seen have all been different. A different story on how Robin Hood became the “hero” he became by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. There is also always a different story as to how Robin Hood and Maid Marion met. It’s really difficult to know what [...]
Movie Review: Liberty’s Kids – Philadelphia to Boston
After watching Episode 1 of Liberty’s Kids, I have to say I was impressed. This is a series that was originally broadcast on PBS 2002-2003, and centers on American Colonial History. Benjamin Franklin, voiced by Walter Cronkite, is a main character, although he was referenced more than he actually appeared. Episode 1, Philadelphia to Boston, [...]

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Christian Movie Review: Fireproof
Fireproof is a very realistic portrayal of marriage when it is suffering. I was very impressed by Kirk Cameron’s acting and the feeling behind each role in this movie. Many times a Christian movie misses the mark…however, in this case the movie was top notch. Fireproof shows the major marital struggles of Caleb and Catherine. [...]
Christian Movie Review: Sahara
Sahara is my teenage daughter’s favorite movie. She loves the humor and of course Matthew McConaughey. LOL! I must say that I like the film a lot as well. It is very funny, thanks mostly to Steve Zahn’s character. Sahara has it all, drama, intrigue, action, romance, comic relief and good prevailing over bad. Matthew [...]
Christian Movie Review: I Am Legend
Let me start by saying that I love Will Smith. I think he makes great movies. Unfortunately, I Am Legend ticked me off more than anything. LOL! Do not get me wrong, it has action, drama, hero essence and even a little romance. I guess the part that annoyed me was the predictability. I could [...]
Christian Movie Review: Made of Honour
Made of Honour has many flaws. I was very disappointed by the amount of sexual innuendos and lack of a positive marriage view. The main character, Tom is very popular with the ladies and sleeps around quite a bit. There is a lot of scantily clad women throughout the movie. Tom’s Father enters and ends [...]

Journey to the Center of the Earth was an AWESOME action packed PG film for the entire family. I had the privilege of seeing it in 3D. I had not seen a 3D movie for quite some time I was pleasantly surprised. Note: This movie would be great without the 3D affects. OK, let me [...]
Christian Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a movie about a Panda that dreams of learning the art of Kung Fu. However his dad thinks that he should most definitely move up to owning the family noodle business. This movie is so full of action, and is great at a tale of how a Panda “accidentally” fulfilled his [...]
The Incredible Hulk
This week my husband and I ventured out to go and see “The Incredible Hulk”. We were a bit curious about the movie considering all the reviews were saying it is every bit as good as Iron Man, but I will say after watching this movie I am not convinced it is THAT good, Iron [...]
Christian Movie Review: The Happening
Hmmm….let me think about the one word that would describe how I felt about the movie “The Happening”…ok I know the one word – STUPID! OK maybe that’s being a little too harsh considering it’s been a week since I saw this movie and I am still trying to figure the darn thing out. The [...]

Christian Movie Review: Narnia Prince Caspian
I am sure as a Christian community we can all appreciate the Narnia books and movies. There are so many correlations between the movie and values that all Christians should posses.

Christian Movie Review: Iron Man
