The documentary, “Finding Noah: An Adventure of Faith” aired as a special event in theaters in October. You may be thinking, “You know what (in an English accent), documentaries are just not my cup of tea.” To which I would say, “Hey friend, this isn’t your local café; this is the film review section! Besides, don’t think about it as tea; think about it as that nice, refreshing chocolate beverage from your childhood that you forgot you liked, so you decided to buy a whole case of it.” My point is, sometimes documentaries have this uncanny ability to unlock the […]

“Woodlawn” is a compelling, beat-the-odds, inspirational, motivational, story of struggle and the triumph of love over hatred. Clichés aside, all of that is true. Based on a true story, the movie opens in theaters on October 16. Set in the early seventies, “Woodlawn” illustrates the fight of a young African-American who plays football for a recently desegregated high school team in Birmingham, Alabama. More than that, though, Woodlawn is about how a Christian revival is brought about by one man’s desire to preach the gospel to a disgruntled group of teens and adults. The main character, Tony Nathan (played by […]

Desperate and on the run, Brian took hostage Ashley Smith, a recovering drug addict. Ashley would finally be freed over seven hours later, but it was what happened during her captivity that made for a truly miraculous story […]

Despite great jobs, fancy cars, a dream house and a beautiful daughter, the Jordan family is […]

Summer Blockbuster

  What does a proper diet mean in your home? My kids would be fine replacing broccoli and carrots with chocolate and soda at every meal. No doubt they would feel satisfied and content, but the truth of the matter is the end result would be they would be “jacked up” with short term energy and long term health issues. One of our favorite movies in our home is the 2003 holiday favorite called “Elf” in which Will Ferrell plays Buddy the Elf. He is a fun loving elf who enjoys maple syrup on every meal. One of the greatest […]
