The Woodcarver – Movie Review



Release Date: March 13th, 2012
Director: Terry Ingram
Writers: Thomas Makowski, Jack Nasser
Stars: John Ratzenberger, Dakota Daulby and Woody Jeffreys

The Woodcarver Movie Theme

Matthew Stevenson is a troubled kid from a broken home. When he vandalizes the local church to get back at his parents, Matthew has to repair the damage to the church to avoid criminal charges. While working at the church, he meets Ernest (John Ratzenberger), an accomplished wood-carver who created the intricate woodwork decoration that Matthew destroyed.

Ernest has become something of a hermit, but reluctantly comes out of reclusion to help repair the church. Now Ernest and Matthew must work together to preserve the church’s beautiful antiquity, and along the way, they also manage to restore their faith in God and in life.

The Woodcarver Review

This is an awesome movie and a great family story. John Ratzenberger is terrific as a wood carver named Ernest Otto who misses his wife, who recently died from cancer. However, he finds a young man to help mold and guide, Matthew Stevenson (Dakota Daulby).

Matt’s father and mother are divorcing and they become angry with each other every time they see each other. Matt’s father, Jack, takes his stress out on Matt by constantly getting on his case. His mother Rita cannot control her temper when she gets around Jack. Matt gets into trouble at the beginning of the movie, vandalizing a church, but he likes Mr. Otto and as he works with him, Mr. Otto gets him to open up about how his parent’s relationship changed when his dad stopped attending church, and how their divorce is tearing Matt up. However, when Mr. Otto gets Matt to think in terms of “What would Jesus do?” his life begins to change in amazing ways.

The Woodcarver Movie Trailer



The Woodcarver is an incredible movie, filled with wonderful themes of faith and forgiveness and it promotes the idea that change is possible when people simply follow God. Don’t miss this one!

The Mighty Macs – Movie Review



Director: Tim Chambers
Story, Screenplay: Tim Chambers
Stars: Carla Gugino, David Boreanaz and Lauren Bittner

The Mighty Macs Movie Theme

The Mighty Macs is based on the incredible true story of the 1971-72 Immaculata College team that started in obscurity but became the original Cinderella story in women’s basketball. This team of pioneers went from barely making that inaugural tournament to the first dynasty in their game. And Cathy Rush (Carla Gugino, the woman who was ahead of her time, became immortalized when she was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

It’s 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time, and she’s about to embark on an adventure for the ages. A new era is dawning in the country and in collegiate athletics, where a national champion will be crowned for the first time in women’s basketball. In the lead up to this historical season, major universities are preparing their game plans to win that first title. Meanwhile a tiny all-women’s Catholic college in Philadelphia has a more modest goal: find a coach before the season begins. Providentially, Cathy Rush is about to find Immaculata College. Recently married, Cathy is dealing with the aftermath of a truncated playing career. While cultural norms would have her staying at home, she’s willing to do the hard work necessary to help her new team reach their goals-or perhaps she’s just trying to achieve her unfulfilled dreams through them.

Directed by newcomer Tim Chambers, “The Mighty Macs” is a feel-good movie offering lessons in friendship, teamwork, trust and perseverance. For the most part, Catholicism is treated with respect, but it serves more as a colorful backdrop than a source for commentary.

The Mighty Macs Movie Trailer



It is  a very good family movie. Go and watch The Mighty Macs in action.

Courageous – Movie Review



Honor begins at home – – – This film, starring, written and directed by Alex Kendrick, is a beautifully presented as a clear call to action for men to step up and fulfill their duties as fathers and leaders of their communities and households.

Courageous Movie Theme

The story follows the lives of five friends, four of which are police officers, who are all fathers dealing with various issues in their personal lives. When tragedy befalls one of the five, it forces him to take a close look at the kind of father he has been to his children. Bothered by the fact that he only felt that he had been “good enough” by his own standards, he begins to seek out God’s standards and is heavily convicted by what he finds in God’s word as it relates to a father’s duties.

Driven by the desire to be a better father, he creates a resolution and presents it to his friends so that they will hold him accountable to be the man that he promises to become in his resolution. After reading the document the other men decide to join him in his pledge.

This action sets off a chain of events that tests the faith and resolve of all the men, while forcing them to deal with their personal issues of loss, abandonment, forgiveness, financial hardship, guilt and integrity.

Courageous Movie Trailer



Courageous is a movie that is definitely worthy of Oscar attention because it is the best movie I’ve seen all year. The story’s message is one of critical importance to our society and the acting was outstanding. And to see a movie that openly proclaims God’s Word and message of salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is nothing short of a blessing.

Rust – Movie Review



Rust, an inspirational film starring Golden Globe nominee Corbin Bernsen, was a nice surprise. A little fed up with many of the plot-poor movies of late, I found myself browsing the shelves at Blockbuster not even hoping to find anything worth watching, when I stumbled into this title.

Rust Movie Theme

Rust tells the story of James Moore, a former pastor going through a midlife crisis of faith. Unable to come to terms with his doubts, he returns to his hometown seeking answers he hopes to find at the old church where he initially felt his calling as a child.

Upon his return, James finds the place quite changed, and he learns of a local family who perished in a fire apparently set by Travis, his childhood friend and local loon. James goes to visit Travis in jail, and while he is a little surprised about his friend’s implication, he can’t but accept the man’s own rendition of what happened the fatal night of the fire.

A few days later, a disturbed local youth takes his life, and the town mourns the loss while collectively shaking its head at what could have motivated the young man to go through with such an unthinkable act. James continues to visit Travis in jail, and time after time, he becomes more and more convinced of the man’s innocence, even if Travis himself accepts his fate as it is; his memorable words at some point: “My mother is fine; I am fine. It’s all according to God’s plan – He creates the plan, we only have to play our part.”

Mindless of Travis’s acceptance of whatever plan may be at play, James begins to dig deeper to find out what truly happened. Friendship and an unquenchable thirst for justice set him on a path of discovery sometimes at odds with the will of the rest of the town, only too glad to have someone to blame for the deaths. The plot continues to evolve in a crescendo of events interesting enough to stand out, yet average enough to be credible.

The film makes many excellent points. One of them is James’s growing awareness of each person being connected to everyone else.

Rust Movie Trailer



Rust is one of those rare movies with a story so compelling that it stands out on its own, without need of explosions or foul language to capture one’s attention. Rust is heartwarming and profound; definitely a movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family, and one filled with powerful lessons that will likely stick with the viewer for a long time to come.

Flowers of The Son – Movie Review



Flowers of the Son is an emotionally gripping, real-life look at the struggle to stand for Jesus in Israel. Only one-tenth of one percent of Israeli Jews know Jesus – the rest don’t even know his name.

Flowers of the Son movie trailer is given right below.



Israel is home to some seven and a half million people. But to billions others, it is a stray and distant thought—the very mention of which often evokes images of terrorism, religious conflict, and concrete rubble. But from amid the sounds of conflict, one group of missionaries hears the cry for peace and salvation.

Flowers of the Son documents the experiences of the volunteers participating in “Behold Your God,” a four week evangelistic outreach that spans twelve geographic regions of Israel. Through pamphlets, banners, skits, musical performances, phone calls, and door-to-door visits, these missionaries engage both young and old, religious and irreligious in conversation about the Messiah, Y’shua.

Directed, written, and produced by Emmy award-winners Herb and Amy Kossover, Flowers of the Son packs quite the punch in a short, 30 minute time slot. Despite its slightly cloying, Hallmark card introduction, this half hour is not filled with typical evangelistic fare—there are no heartrending accounts of injured orphans and puppies, no sickening musical number. It is the truthful, occasionally gruesome story of what these missionaries face on a daily basis.

It is made apparent that whether serving on the front lines or behind the scenes, these campaign workers have the unity of an army and the resilience of soldiers. Despite their uniform of brightly colored t-shirts, they are of different genders and nationalities with unique gifts and testimonies. But just like the campaign itself, this film is a collaboration. The voices of all types of missionaries are heard through narrative, interviews, and both live and reenacted footage.

But the cries of opposition are also heard, loud and clear. Instances of verbal abuse and physical assault permeate the film, providing a realistic picture of the spiritual war that is taking place in the streets of Israel. Fortunately, there is hope amid the horror. Serving as the dessert of this cinematic meal, two inspiring accounts of religious seekers leave a lasting taste of promise.

Whether showing moments of the ugliness of human nature or the beauty of salvation, the audience will be captured by the stunning cinematography, enjoyable soundtrack (including the sounds of New Light Ruins), and vivid storytelling. Flowers of the Son inspires those around the world to look past the crumbling cement and to see the life that is bursting up through the cracks.

The Mysterious Islands – Movie Review



A Testimony to God’s Hand in Creation – A recently released documentary challenges Charles Darwin on “Ground Zero” of evolution: the Galapagos Islands. Led by Vision Forum founder Doug Phillips, the expedition covers the territory and animals Darwin visited and studied nearly 200 years ago, but comes to a very different conclusion.

Majestically filmed by award-winning Jon and Andy Erwin of Erwin Brothers Motion Pictures, the 90-minute documentary is told through the eyes of 16-year old Joshua Phillips, exploring with his father the world Charles Darwin wrote about.

The Mysterious Islands feature a lavish display of exotic animals in their native habitat including 150-year-old tortoises, flightless Cormorants, Blue Footed Boobies, and an albino whale shark, all seemingly without a normal fear of man. The tour guide related that he hadn’t seen such a rich display of animal life in 25 years.

“It’s the defining issue at the defining moment,” explained producer Doug Phillips, who planned the expedition in 2009 because of two key anniversary dates that occurred during the year — the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth on February 12 and 150th anniversary of the original publication of his Origin of Species on November 24. “I said ‘we’ve got to go to ground zero.’ We’ve got to go to basically the Jerusalem of the evolutionary worldview.”

Mediated Design

Instead of evolution, the documentary posits the idea of “Mediated Design,” that animals were created with genetic potential to adapt for survival. Where Darwin believed species developed from one animal into a different type, Mediated Design says that animals were created with the genetic potential to change. A salt-spitting iguana, remarkably similar to those in South America, developed it’s salt spitting potential when there was little food on land and the lizards had to feed in the sea and eliminate the salt from their bodies.

The Mysterious Islands is told through the eyes of 16-year-old Joshua Phillips on an adventure with his father. “The ideas and the vision of one generation will help shape the next, for good, or for evil. It was true in Darwin’s day, and it will be in mine as well,” Joshua says.

His father, Doug Phillips ends with, “We need to take our children to the field. We must take them to where the battle rages. The compromises of past generations have left a painful legacy for them to overcome, but by God’s grace they will overcome.”

Faith Like Potatoes – Movie Review



Directed by: Regardt van den Bergh
Produced by: Frans Cronje, Kirstin Barwise

Starring: Frank Rautenbach, Jeanne Neilson, Hamilton Dlamini

Release date: October 27, 2006
Running time: 116 min

A story that urges you to trust in God with full faith, even when you are in difficult times. This movie is based on a true story of a man in South Africa called Angus, he lived with his family on a farm. When they got there, they started to make friends, but this man was very worried when he heard bad news about the harvest, and other troubles that were happening there. He was tired of fighting in between but he did not want to be defeated.

One day his wife´s friend invites them to the church, where they decide to follow Jesus Christ and then they unleash the Faith as never before. For example: Angus asked God, for a rain to come, even when it was not the time to rain, but it suddenly started to rain, God answered him according to his faith.

Since then he started to believe in God entirely, and devoted himself to preaching the word of God. His first experience was that through a prayer of Faith , he resurrected a lady, and through that miracle many believed in Christ. Angus became a godly man, he loved the big challenges. He asked god for a large stadium to pray for his country, as it is written: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

He perfectly understood it, and for that reason he wanted to call everyone to pray for the nation. But before carrying out this faith step, an unfortunate thing happened. While he was driving the tractor, one of the children on board fell and then died. After this Angus felt guilty for not being able to improve the situation. However, he was increasing his level of faith through these troubles.

The fact that we are Christians does not mean that everything will be good for us. God says he will be with us even in the midst of trouble and he will deliver us from all wrong. Angus was still worried, but God kept saying “Trust in me”. Meanwhile he prepared the meeting prayer and planned to harvest the potatoes, even when it was not time to harvest them. The Faith works like a charm. When all seemed to be lost, God said there is still hope. Finally both the harvest and the prayer meeting become grand success. Praise the Lord!

Preacher’s Kid – Movie Review



Preacher’s Kid (2010)

Director: Stan Foster
Release Date: 29 January 2010

Cast : Letoya Luckett, Kiki Sheard, Durrel Babbs, Clifton Powell, Gregalan Williams, Sharif Atkins

This story talks about Angie. She is a twenties girl, the Pastor´s daughter, who wanted to experience all the things of this world. She said ‘I am tired of being the Pastor´s daugther’ and she disobeyed her father and started to go out to nightclubs. Then she meets Devlin who is a singer. She was so delighted by the fame that he has, and he became her first love. Shortly after she preferred to go with him, than to be at the church with her real friends and her Father. Apparently Devlin loved her, but he was just taking advantage of the situation.

She continued with Devlin, thinking that she would get success : fame, luxury, money, in short, all the ephemeral things that the world has to offer. She changed her way of dressing, habits and many things just to be a famous person. (This world can offer you a lot of money, jewelry, trips, but what good will it be for a man even if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Matthew 16:26, do not be distracted or do not compare those things with the unconditional love of God. If you believe in God, He will give you all that you need).

Finally when she realized the kind of person that Devlin was, she just wanted to go home, but thought that her father would not forgive her. So she continued to suffer the ill-treatment of Devlin, but he always tried to justify his actions.

Until the day she left him. And got back home like the prodigal son in Bible. There we see the great forgiving love of her father who receives her with open arms. As the bible says: “But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found” – Luke 15:32

However it is not necessary that we all should pass through these type of cases, to realize our Heavenly Father’s abundant love for us. If you are on the right way to God, go ahead and do not stop for anything or anyone. You should accept that He guides your life because the enemy will say, “Enjoy the things of this world for now, and about the consequences we will talk later” and our lovely God says, “Believe in me and you will have eternal life”.

You choose! A short lived pleasure on earth OR eternal life with God?

New Jesus Movie : Jesus… No Greater Love



Jesus… No Greater Love is a non-profit outreach ministry, being produced in the same way as any ministry – believers like you and me joining in support to bring the love of Jesus to precious souls. United in giving with Christians from every nation, culture and denomination, we will form a body of producers, 4.5 million strong, each giving only $10, to bring Jesus to the screen in a world class film. This is the vision of Jesus… No Greater Love. “Everyone who was willing and whose heart stirred in him, came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work…” Exodus 35:21.

Download the Jesus movie poster here : New Jesus Movie Poster

Why another Jesus film?

Many great Jesus films have been produced over the years, and God has used them all for His glory. There are several focuses that make Jesus… No Greater Love unique and vital. To list only a few, our vision is to bring the Gospel story to film afresh using the latest cutting edge, big screen technology – to truly create a Jesus movie for a new generation of highly sophisticated film-goers.

Also, where Jesus films generally focus on the gospel events, Jesus… No Greater Love focuses on a revelation of “The Man” – his heart and person, impassioned, joyous, relevant, brimming with kingdom authority, driven “on a mission of redemptive love” – the Jesus of Scripture.

Who will be the Producer and Director?

Bruce Marchiano is our current writer/producer. Once funding is underway we will begin interviewing prospective directors as well as co-producer(s) to solidify the team.

Our Vision

Our vision, quite simply, is to bring Jesus – His love, His compassion, His deity and promise of salvation – to masses both nationally and internationally in a film that is Word-for-word the Gospel. In other words, “the power of God unto salvation” (Romans 1:16) presented in the power of the film medium.

We are not making a “Christian movie” per se, but a state-of-the-art film that will pack theaters with the unsaved. To that end, Jesus… No Greater Love will be shot using the most cutting-edge film technology and techniques, so that it will stand as world class cinema, truly a Jesus movie “for a new generation.”

Our vision beyond theaters is to dub the film into the languages of the world, make it easily available to ministries, missionaries, churches… in all nations. It will be a cutting edge “tool” to introduce Jesus to hungry souls from all walks of life – and at the same time, to capture the hearts of our young, “seen-it-all” generation.

Imagine Jesus coming to theater screens all across America, Canada, UK. Imagine Jesus coming to the theater screens of New Dehli, Saudi Arabia – Israel! Imagine Jesus coming via Internet, TV broadcast, hand-held devices… This is the vision of Jesus… No Greater Love – a “movement” in which we all unite to take Jesus to souls that need him!

The Moses Code – Movie Review



The Moses Code

Release Date: April 7, 2008

Run Time: 90 minutes

Drew Heriot presents this documentary movie The Moses Code. It is one of the most controversial films. It shows how to use the Law of Attraction to attract more wealth in your life, goodness in the world. It is based on the Moses Code book by James Twyman that explores a special gift that God gave to Moses.

Several renowned spiritual teachers of the world are together in this short movie and offer tools that help us to apply the Moses Code to our lives, helping us to try the Law of Attraction. And it keeps focus on the power of manifestation of the soul, bringing out our innate spiritual ability to produce miracles everywhere we go.

Those authors refer specifically to:

God said to Moses, “I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ Exodus 3-14

The Moses Code means adding a comma, “I am, who I am”. When you understand the power of this phrase “I am, who I am” everything that I see, everything was created by God, so we are surrounded by God’s presence.

If we understand the power inside of us, we will change the world by God´s power.

As the law of attraction says, if we are wishing bad things to other people, keep in mind that it will be back, so better think positive and act careful.

How to remember the three keys of Moses Code?

GOD – (G)iving, (O)neness, (D)estine

Simply because giving is better than to receive, but how can I give something that I do not have? That is when we notice the importance of believing in “I am” who will give or “I am” who will help others.

God chose Moses to liberate the Israelites. Moses was a common man with fears, but he understood his purpose in this life, and God provided him the skills and power to carry out his mission.

All through crossing the desert, Moses was there 40 years. Many times we don’t want to be there till the very end, that is why we do not learn how to help others, we just think of ourselves. Without doubt the desert is the best place to learn. God wants to teach you there, then it is not something you can do by yourself.

This message “I am, that I am” reduced 30% of violence in Israel.

If you believe with all your heart, you can make a difference, God will surely help you.

To Save A Life – Movie Review



Director: Brian Baugh

Release Date : 22 January 2010

The Plot

Jake Taylor has everything. He has a beautiful girl, he’s the champion in basketball and beer pong, and everyone loves him. Then, an old childhood friend, whom Jake used to be friends with, commits suicide. Jake begins to think. He wonders what he could’ve done to save his friend’s life. A youth minister tells him that Jake needs God. So Jake becomes a Christian. However, things begin to spin out of control. His dad is cheating on his mom, his girlfriend is pregnant, and his former friends ridicule and mock him. During all this, Jake is going to realize just what it means to be a Christian and how, to save a life.

Review

Jake Taylor (Randy Wayne), a high school senior, has a basketball scholarship, a sexy girlfriend, Amy Briggs (Deja Kreutzberg), and popularity at school. Before his teenage days, he used to be good friends with Roger Dawson (Robert Bailey Jr.) who’s now a lonely, alienated student unable to fit into the in-crowd.

Jake struggles to cope after Roger brings a gun to school one day and commits suicide. After attending Roger’s funeral, he goes through a crisis of conscience as he wonders what he could have done differently that might have saved Roger’s life. A youth group leader, Chris Vaughn (Joshua Weigel), guides him along throughout his spiritual journey, a kind of awakening, self-discovery and embracing of kindness, compassion and understanding that everyone ought to go through at some point in their life. Jake has a second chance to save the life of an outsider when he meets Jonny Garcia (Sean Michael), another alienated student.

The sensitive screenplay by Jim Britts combines the comic-of-age drama with just the right touch of suspense and comic relief to keep you fully engaged. What makes Jake such an interesting character is that he’s quite relatable, complex and more mature than your average popular teenager. You can sense that he has the potential inside him to be not only a good Christian, but a good human being who’s not selfish or mean-spirited like those in his social circle who are, essentially, dragging him down.

Perhaps later in life Jake’s girlfriend and popular friends will realize the importance of kindness and compassion, but throughout Jake’s journey, they’re still naive. Fortunately, the moments of during which Jake experiences his epiphanies never veer toward preachiness or corniness, so it’s easy to feel immersed in his journey without rolling your eyes or getting hit over the head with messages. Director Brian Baugh includes a terrific, lively soundtrack and moves the pace briskly enough so that there’s never a scene that overstays its welcome. At a running time of 2 hours, To Save a Life manages to be inspirational, genuinely heartfelt and captivating. It’s a profound, tender and uplifting journey toward enlightenment and compassion.

Jesus Christ Superstar : 1973 Movie



Director : Norman Jewison

Release Date : 15 August 1973

Cast : Ted Neeley as Jesus Christ, Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, Carl Anderson as Judas Iscariot

Jesus Christ Superstar movie released in 1973 is based on the world famous musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, the theatrical performance highlighting struggles between Jesus and Judas Iscariot. The performance is only on the last week of Jesus’ life, starting with Jesus arrival in Jerusalem and ending in Crucfixion.

After the huge success of the drama and the subsequent long-running broadway performance, it was made into a movie in 1973 by director Norman Jewison. Jesus Christ Superstar movie is all about the final six days in Jesus’ life, viewed through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The movie is such a visual treat for anyone, who love to see all of these as a drama.

Actor Ted Neeley looks the apt choice for taking Jesus role in the movie. One may get the feeling that Jesus is a bit more stylish with his mustache and all. But as its a movie, I hope we can excuse that. Judas Iscariot has a major role in this Jesus Christ Superstar film as we see the film through his eyes and its well taken care of by Carl Anderson. Yvonne Elliman is electrifying as Mary Magdalene, and Carl Anderson couldn’t have been better as Judas; but Ted Neeley as Jesus is more whiny than heroic.

Jewison, a director of large talent, who made the movie Jesus Christ Superstar a reality, has taken a piece of commercial shock and turned it into a Biblical movie with dignity. I am highly recommending this movie to all you friends. Yes, you may find some slight differences from The Bible.

It is a movie based on the life story of a neurosurgeon called Ben Carson. This story starts with a boy , unknown and unpopular in his school. He grow up with his brother and mother. His Mother taught them to lead a good christian life, to be polite and educated them. One day Bennie tells  his mother ‘I want to be a Doctor’. And she always told him that he can do the same as others but should do better than them.

Then for some reason she became sad, maybe because she was afraid about their future, she said: “I do not know how to read, I am a single mother”. But her encouragement was more than what was needed. She learned to read, and she was always very proud of her sons. Bennie had been working hard to pursue his dream (becoming a Doctor). He was the best student, he was an example of patience, He did overcome his fears. When he got to work in a hospital, he found many problems, maybe impossible to resolve for even his partners.

But he knew very clearly that for God nothing is impossible. So he was keeping on operating many people succesfuly, although in between he lost his own babies. He keeps in focus, praying every day. When he meets the siamese babies, he decides to operate them, and he started to find the right solution for them and praying hard for them. He did not want to leave the opportunity to glorify Jesus’s name. And he succeeds in the operation. All his life shows that if you trust in God, He will never fail you. Amen.

Believe in God – not in this world and what they say about you. Trust in Him. He expects you to trust Him with all your heart. Work hard. And then just wait in prayer to reap your harvest. God bless you all. Go see the movie.

Escape From Hell – Movie Review



Released in 2000

Directed By: Danny R. Carrales

In case you have relatives, neighbors, classmates, partners or you know someone who is not saved, please recommend this evangelistic movie that will open their eyes and they will know what will happen after death.

It talks about Dr. Eric Robinson and Dr. Marissa Holloway. Eric is a doctor who is always angry with his father who left him, but he is a christian now. However he does not want to forgive him. So Eric stays with his Mother, She is a God´s women. And Erick works with Marissa at the hospital. She analyzes the specific time when someone is between life and death and takes videos about it. And then she shows it to Erick.

Every case was different, a christian women said I saw the heaven, and the others who were grave sinners saw the hell. But Erick is a skeptical men. He does not believe that heaven and hell do exist.

When his father passed away, he decided to know by himself what is that experience, and he prepared for death in a few days. In that time, He saw the heaven and the hell. His experience in the hell was bad, he saw some apparently good people on Earth there, whom he never imagined to see in hell.

He saw a precious place yes that was the heaven. But an angelical voice told him that he is not ready to come there. And gave him a new chance to live truly in Jesus Christ.

Sometimes we do not worry about our future, and we do not prepare our soul for death. This is time to think what i am doing with my life right now. You decide, do you want to pass the eternity in heaven or hell?

Highly recommended for those who still don’t believe in Heaven or Hell. Watch it.

A Walk To Remember – Movie Review



Release date: May 21, 2002

A beautiful romance story, starring Mandy Moore and Shane West , directed by Adam Shankman.

This movie talks about Jamie and Landon. Jaime could be the last girl you would think that Landon will fall in love. She was serious and conservative. Daughter of Baptist minister of the village, Jamie did not mind what other people think about her because her faith was the most important in her life, even if that meant losing some friends. Landon was a temperamental guy, who excelled at the school on looks and his character. His friends were amused when they criticized the clothing and behavior of Jamie.

Landon had no plans for the future and his faith. One night he ends at the hospital by a prank, as a punishment he is forced to take classes on weekends, and takes part in the representation of Dramatic Club spring.

These activities make them closer. She was already working as a volunteer tutor and had an important role in the work. Soon, against his personal expectations and from the scorn of his friends, Landon falls in love with this girl.

Above all, they will test the power of love and faith to transform life into something worth living. Even after the bad circumstances in their lives, finally he understands that “Love is like the wind you cannot see it, but you can feel it”.

Landon visits Jamie’s father four years later and tells that he is sorry he could not grant Jamie’s wish to witness “a miracle” before she died. Her father says “She did. It was you”.

A wonderful touching love story – Watch it when you have time.
