Unsung Hero (2024)
Not a payed add. Just saw it at 1:40 PM east opening day
One of the best Christian Films Ive seen in a long time. It manages to get the point accross without being to preachy. The movie flows from start to finish and has some great ups and really sad downs ; but yet it doesnt drag at all. With all the hype and way over board promotion ; I expected it to be awful. Boy O Boy, was I wrong. Loved all the actors and Joel does a great job protraying his dad. Each kid picked did such a awesome job. My only complaint's are Candaces hair and Jonathans looked so fake.. like they dident even try. I really wanted to see more of Rebeecca Journy as well. Just remeber the movie is mostly about the mother and her faith and strengh..
1923 (2022)
Yuck
I dont get why this is getting a second session but 1883 could not. This is boring dull and boring. Theres only one likeable character and thats the Tanta ( spelled wrong i know) girl. The test of the cast and story lines are boring. 1923 and we are stuck in Africa with a couple that has no chemistry at all none at all.
The couple back home have no chemistry neither. Only Ford and his wife do. Its dreadful. And not a happy thing happens on here without somthing horriable happening next.
The story line drawn out forever and ever and the same stuff happens on every episode blah blah blah blah blah blah nlah.
Nikita (2010)
100% better than the original reboot
What most of us call the original with a tall blond Nilkita and Long haird Micheal is not. It ia in itself a reboot.
I was waited to long to give this show a try. Let me say it did not disapoint. Unlike the early 2000s one. This one made me cry, laugh and bing watch (because we can not ).
The chemistry was very good between each couple. Nikita unlike the orignal doesnt really sleep around. Which is good but also like off blah when the female lead and on screen males at the time had so much steam ya somtimes found urself rooting for someone besides who she was with to be with her. Devon Sawa was awesome and hot has heck still. Play his part well. There was a few other 90s and early 2000z child stars we grew up with as well. The other female power house did well as well. I really reslly enjoyed this Nerd as Nikita calls him way more than the orignal. He lighten loads of the scense and his character had loads of growth.
This one also had a ending the other dident really get. Which makes this a 10 all together.
Journey to Bethlehem (2023)
The Donkey stole the show
This was almost as bad as the Noah movie awhile back that had rock giants in it. Mary is protrayed as a back talking feminist. Theres so so much wrong with the movie. Adding a son into the movie did not work. Even if the son can sing and his musical number was good. ANTONIO B was great as well. I was suprised at how well he did. We loved the 3 kings they brought humor. They left out shepereds and went for just 1. The Angel says stuff to Angel he never ever did
Its one thing to add whats not already been covered as long as it mixes well but add words that change the whole momemt was not good.
The Donkey reminded my 13 year old of The Star movie and was part of the best of the moive. She said stick with it if u want a story about Jesus and what he is about.
It's Christmas Again (2022)
Hidden gem
The music is pretty good. Kind of cheesy. The music starts right away and goes from there. Then past part dancers are pretty nice for being old haha ... it gets the point across for sure. Somtimes mouths dont line up with words. Some funny parts. Touching parts and etc.. We found this on Tube.. it was free woohoooo.. Good movie for the kidos. Shows being selfish canhave real life backfire. This happens in a real way.
It also shows how we can get caught up in Christmas the physical shoping.and heatic tjat we forget why we are supposed to be doing this. Even if its not Jesus real Birthday we can celebrate him. Should be everyday but for some this will.be their only day.
Leo (2023)
Cant belive how good it was.
Ok so we got tricked .. In case you dident know its a musical!!!!!! We was bery very confused haha.. but it all turned out well. Somthing that was really nice. It was real to a degree about the kids. It also did not add any PC STUFF not needed unless it waa somthimlng small we missed. If you have seen the show Recess you will love how they show the littles. Everyone learns a lesson in the movie. It was not a sloe movoe and we was sad It was over. There are a few like always adult jokes but thats Adam for ya! It was still very family friendly . As a adult, i cried, laughed and cheered. I will ne rewatching this one for sure.
The Blind (2023)
Beyound boring
Started off great. If you have read the books by both; this was a disappointmemt. The actors just dont cut it. It was like watching a cheap C movie at best. They left a load of the story out. I dont understand why it stopped in the 80s? They talked about God but it was more of a backround thing. A few of Phils siblings was missing. Also, timeline seemed off. A bigger production and casting company should have been in charge. It was way way too sugur coated. They didet even really show any of the story about the duck calls. They never explained how Kay made money when he was drinkimh. Just much wrong.
Totally Killer (2023)
It was what it was
Ok , well one I guess all the put downs about the 80s was supposed to be funny but they wasn't. Mostly just confirming what we already know that this Gen is weak.. there is one scene thats funny as heck.... I like the parents those are the only adults I could stand the whole time. The story line honestly was weak... but at least they stayed close tot eh decade they was supposed to be in I've seen some that didn't even seem to have the figured out. I acully liked the ending . Although no acully sex was involved there is loads and loads of talking about it..There was also a few small plot holes but again it was a decent watch for free. The main character was unlikable thought completely unlikable.
Manifest (2018)
One of the best ending
I thought it would end up like lost or every other wb show but it didn't. Each character for the most part played a awesome part . It's not a Christian thing.fyi so for me I was hesitant on the blasphemy part but it really was Abell put together show. However, you van tell netflixs was done they put little into the last seasons cgi locations and etc.
I like However was shown again at some point. I also ended up like someone of the replacement people. Some of the ending episodes made of sense but again I think.it was because of budget or etc. Each actor gave it their all except few of the cops and etc.
The ending was what I wanted really and it was a joy.
The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022)
5 stars because season 2
Season one went well .. loved the boys mama and even the other ones. I felt they was way way way to whatever about everything but still. It is what it js. Anyhow season 2. It's slow and boring.. the character are annoying now. The parents have become even worse parents. And theirs a aunt written in I guess so they could had a duller than dirt pronoun child. Like for real anyone else would have been more interesting
Let's not forget Jeremy is straight in the book but they made him Bi. I can forgive that but changing a whole story plot to add a dull character is ridiculous.. It just got worse and worse. O and there's loads of flashing forward and backwards.. drove me nuts.
Mummies (2023)
We saw this for free
This movie was well worth the money I spent on movie snacks hahha. The movie was good for adults abs children alike. My little loved the pet and little boy. She also was singing the songs and dancing. The ideal was something free and new. Only rated a 9 because it took awhile for us to get past even for my 2 older kids the Voices seeing they was Egyptian and sounded British or English haha. I also felt the Nickelback song was and odd choice and audio sounded as if it had replaced another song. We liked all the other music . There is a theme of over coming fears and also finding out you don't have to do it alone! It's a love story, adventure and story about overcoming.
Jesus Revolution (2023)
Think whatever you want but this had it
First, you can tell by some reviews they was never going to enjoy this movie they went in wanting to hate it and came out hating it. They also seemed to have issues with color and whiteness. Which should tell you anyone having issues with any race should not be listed to when talking about Christ and his love.
The movie started off slow. 20 mins in it had me.. all nasty crying. It focused one 3 of the main men centralized and their wife's or girl friends( which unlike another review tried to say it was overwhelming misogynistic) no it wasn't the women each had a part to play Chucks wife was there for him and she also had a roll in the church, lonnies wife was the one who cared for those whom came into their presences and etc. Greg's wife well it was definitely God that lead him she played her part well by being the one to push him to church to keep him on his toes.
The movie had good music , yes it started with worlds music but it was about hippies, then it focused more on the Christian music which was mostly one group.
The movie didn't gloss over real life . Nor did it show that just because you come to christ everything Suddenly gets all sunny and happy.. It did show real life. The struggle is real. People come and people go .
Most of all it showed Christ. How, he can use anyone at any given time .. It had po Godly love power and sprite behind it. It also had a real message repent be saved and so forth. Jesus didn't come for those already clean and doing right he came for those whom are drowning in lose and sin..
Ok 9 stars only why because they had major flaws in clothing. One point a lady was wearing lularoe and so forth I also noticed other things . They also didn't have many dates correct which was frustrating. Also, the did gloss over Lonnie alittle. From what I read although he was young and understandable, he still struggled with worlds temptations.
A Show About Anthem Lights (2021)
Need season 2
Goofy clean fun. This is something my didn't know we needed. We have all gotten the song stuck in our heads. All 4 guys voice their own selves. It's not really about them It's a ampt up parody about them. Theirs a set of bad guys well really just 1. But honestly he is not that bad. The characters wasn't introduced until the second show. The episodes are only about 15 mins each. I made my eldest watch with me and then each one slower became addicted to it. Each show is a musical. And there's a new song ever show. It's clean and family friendly. The guys who knew they could be this goofy!! Love it and want a season 2. Pureflixs is where we watched it.
Miracle at Manchester (2022)
God still works miracles
Two thing I'm not a catholic and this is heavy with it. However,this film.was wonderful made. It showed the power of love and prayer. It showed that not all works in our timing but his .
The actors all did a wonderful job. Many of them have been in other faith based films and even mainstream movies.
I loved the older couple and the father was just wow.. ..
The fact that one person could bring so many people together is amazing and a mircle without the biggest one of them all. They got the color of the car wrong for sure when looking at the real pictures at the end. I also personally feel like they choose the wrong song at the end
A mircle happens and you play a song about a person whom doesnt.care if anyone else is there and wants to do it alone. They should have choosen a more faith based song ..
Meant to Be (2012)
This movie threw me for a loop
My kids and I play a game on Purflo s because many of the movies are well low budget and gard to watch; the game is called random movie we must watch 30 Min of at least. We watched about 40 Mims and thought we knew the whole story and how it was going to end. Nope we was wrong..
The movie was a slow burner but I will say we'll worth the watch. While not completely Biblically correct it definitely got the message across and wasn't as preachy as some I've seen. Definitely worth the watch. There are some few we'll know actors and actresses in the movie. Thats what caught my eye.
Ok , now the movie had sound issues pr something because at one moment someone's limes sounded even then another you could tell they had to voice them over. Everyone but the two younger girls was well acted. I didn't feel the younger had enough range to portray what she was supposed to be going through. Also, alot of the story not involving the main male character was had holes. Like where's the dad and how did the girls life turn out and etc..
After everything they talked about and showed they still didn't show what happened.
Tyson's Run (2022)
Wow
One of the best inspirational movies out there. Don't listen to another review yhe actress and actors are each good in this . Amy Smart, the Tyson actor and the shoe store owner was awesome. I watched this with a 12 year old and 9 year old. My 12 year old did want to turn this off. I would have if given a chance payed to see this but it was on Pureflixs where we seen this. This had us laughing, crying, cheering and wanting to knock some noggin. You would think in this day and age people would know more. To see how many treated him and his parents was just awful. The ignorance is real people. The school if any of what happen really did really needed some real lessons.
Alexa & Katie (2018)
Enjoyed it
I'm a adult and find it hard to find stuff that's decent to watch with my kids. This was super cute and clean. Each character gets better with every season the parents are real parents and not two typical parents on kids tv shows. The subject is is scary and not light at all. Yes, it may not be completely accurate but it's a shows for kids and teens.
I ended up liking the little brother although he was all our least favorite at first.
I liked that the adults showed what's it like to parent , be friends and live a life.
We laughed aloy at this and even almost cried at one time.
I was hoping for a tad m4oe at the ending but ya get what ya get.
I Want to Marry Ryan Banks (2004)
Loved seeing some Jason
I personally am not a Bradly Cooper fan. I don't get it is it the nose ? Anyhow , so I was happy to see Jason in this. I liked seeing the girl from Buffy as well. While the movie is predictable it's also cute. It had some cute moments . There was really no chemistry between any of the leads but you can make believe it. The sister was on of my favort characters.
Over all worth a watch. The movie also goes by the I wanna marry Ryan Banks title if looking for it.

Legend of Frosty the Snowman (2005)
It keep my.older kid watching
Ok, first off casting the voice of Patrick was wrong. Ww hated that frosty sounded so dumb. The story seemd to be making fun of parents and rules . It glorified children disobeying their parents. It also glorified sneaking out at night with a stranger which was really creepy. Things happening in daylight was ignored by the parents. They never explained why the principal was the way he was. They also never really explained a few other things. Frosty, was sweet and innocent and suddenly he became a hoodlum. That's not frosty.
However, I did lile the animation when everyone else didn't and that was enough.
Love and Monsters (2020)
Enjoyed
So, I've avoid this movie like the flu. Why, because it looks awful. But I was wrong it was very fun.
Watched it with my 2 kids both close to the teen years . They enjoyed it as well. The humor was just right with the right rough of drama and etc. We all liked that it wasn't just the normal story of Aliens landing or Zombies.
If course you know the character is going to grow throughout the movie a d he did and it was awesome to watch. I love how it showed we can acully help each other . We enjoyed ut more than Zombi Land and that's saying alot. The back and forth story telling eas done well .
The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)
Nope not what I wanted
So, let's first assume you have seen the first movie . This a is a prequel and sequel how many flash backs and forth. I hated that. 2. In the first one the Huntsman kiss was what brought snow-white back. So, what happened there.. 😕 it's like opps we made a mistake .. second she is free because the mirror? Make it make sense. No , she is free because she killed the evil queen.. yes, the mirror helped her but gosh she was the one physically doing all the evil doing. 2 soooo, he was a bum , drunk and etc before he meet his wife because ehe and been in the first movie one. Yet. On here they seemed to have known each other. It was just all over the place.
Tini: El gran cambio de Violetta (2016)
Very disappointed
I payed 3.99 to see this. Honestly, wish I hadn't . But if a show I like has a movie I tend to want to see it. I'm going to state I am in my thirty. I banged watched the TV show. I like the music and for the most part inliked that my kids could watch it. I liked 90% of the characters on the show and was hoping to see more of them in the movie .
We get Ludmila which is great and love her full 360 behavior change. We get Leon,Violleta/Tini , dad/ aunt and the no one else from the original show. .
I felt the replacements was all Wish brand modles of each original character.
The love interest was decent looking and etc but why? The addition of a Disney Star didn't really help since we didn't get to see her sing or etc.
Also, the story line , who wrote it a 9 year old during lunchtime. Granted the original show didn't do much neither but this was just flat out boring.
Left me wanting to rewarch the show and forget this pile of grudd.
Catherine Called Birdy (2022)
Took me by suprise
I was searching the apps looking for a different movie set around the same time frame. Long behold this movie popped up. I remember reading a article about it and it seemed to be very much against this movie. I am somewhat conservative in what I watch but the preview caught my eye. So, I ending up watching it.
For one the female lead was awesome. I think the whole cast really did great. To me it reminded me somewhat of a Jane Austin type movie. Strong, wild and independent girl wanting to do her own thing. There was loads of funny parts .
I think it's more suited for 13 up assuming the teen knows about sex. Because it does discuss it and even shows alittle it's the mom and dad and it's not a long or etc type scene. Honestly, it's a few movies in one, coming of age, it's about family and doing one duty, it's about redemption and I felt most of all about love .
There is one gay character if u watch and can't guess who it is within say 20 min you need to get out more or watch more TV. It was let out quite tastefully but and then kind of done which was a breath of fresh air because I didn't really feel the movie had a big agenda to shove in our face unlike HULUs Princess did. My only issue was which is explained in the preview so It's not a spoiler is the main girl liking her uncle. But in that day and age it was kind of a thing so it can pass ..
I will say be warned if you have lost a baby or etc .. this is mentioned numerous times.
Quantum Leap (2022)
First episode anything above a 5 is a bot
It was awful really. To much blah, blah talk about why everything is happening. Bland characters. Wooden words . The jump was not important and it just was awful. They could have done so so much.
They took away all the charm. And added in the new hoildywerid formula. Must have one of this one, one of that and one of this. Forget about telling a story and if they can act or not as long as thy fit into one of the box's checked than let's hire them. Also, the original touched alittle not on just the science side of stuff but on everything being because of good and evil..
Sam and AL was one of the best duos in its time. I don't see this one replacing or even shinning as close to it.
Samaritan (2022)
Dont listen to the bad reviews
People are just made that it's not a Disney MCU political ran and brainwashing movie. The move starts slow yes very slow but gets good as it's goes. Characters are introduced as you need them to be in all in a moosh and just because they need to feel time like other movies. The mother in this move is a real mother. The son is like any the child lost and looking for hope. The bad guy is pretty awful and plays his part very very well. Stallone has the chops to keep up with the youngish and this.showz. Their fights sense. Panic, guns and etc .. theirs funny and.sad moments as well. Honestly, it was nice to watch a move like this with my kids and no have to rry about sexual stuff showing up. 😒 it was also nice to not have political mumbo jumbo being pushed into mind.
