Members SarahStrawberry Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I stopped watching after the first one. :frog I started the 2nd one and couldn't finish it and started the 3rd one and couldn't finish it. Compared to the books, they were sooooo stooooooooooooooopid! But that's just me. :Green When I heard they killed off Willie, I completely gave up on them. :roll Sheesh! They make Missie out to be some kind of ERA woman or something. Hehe, sorry for the rant. :Bleh I was cracking up when I read your post!!! It's so true!!! LoL!!! My sister and I went on and on and on and on when we heard that Willie dies!!! I don't care how romantic they think her new husband is!!! And what you said about Missie!?!!?!?! I was rolling on my keyboard!!!!!! I've seen Facing the Giants and Flywheel and can't wait to see Fireproof!!! I enjoyed Flywheel much more though Giants was a very moving movie too.

Members SarahStrawberry Posted October 9, 2008 Members Share Posted October 9, 2008 It is somewhat like Fireproof in that it touches on marriage as one of it's main themes. It's about a Christian guy who owns a car lot that is going down hill. In order to keep up he starts some shady dealings etc.....taking advantage of customers......Anyway, it's about him getting back to the Lord and giving the Lord his life even though it looks "hopeless". I really liked it and felt it applied to "real life" a little better than Facing the Giants. Anywho....it's good :frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LindaR Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 We saw "Facing The Giants" and "Flywheel" and have them on DVD...have not seen "Fireproof" yet. Might have to wait till it comes out in DVD or when it is shown on Starz or TBN and tape it to our DVR and then make a DVD from that. The latest movie we saw was John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress". It was offered as a free download and I can't remember the site....but that movie stuck very close to the book...excellent movie if you can find it on the internet. Facing the Giants and Flywheel were really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Someone from my school tried to tell me to watch a movie called "The Outsider". apparently it is a Hallmark movie about an Amish woman' date=' has anyone heard of it? I'm reluctant to look for it until i know what it is like.[/quote'] Yes, Ashlee. :-) I have seen that movie several times. It isn't a Christian movie, but it is alright. It is action packed...staring Tim Daley and Naomi Watts. It is supposed to depict the life of a widowed Amish woman (her son) and her relationship with a rough English man. It does have a couple of racy parts in it. Typical Hollywood. You know? :frog It is an adult movie. They could have omitted some parts. I wouldn't suggest it as a family movie. JMHO.

Guest Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Another movie that I saw on TBN (yeah...unreal :lol ) was Behind the Walls. It starts out very slow, but it is intended to bring people back to the faith. I thought it was good for those wandering around in backslid din relationships with Christ. Those who were brought up in the faith...that have "wayward" hearts. It was a "Prodigal Son" movie. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheBibleSender Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think I seen that one. Was that the one where the Father had recorded everything? God bless. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hey...BibleSender. Yes...that is the one. What did you think about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheBibleSender Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well I never really got to see the whole thing but it was okay. It had a pretty good message. God bless. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted November 14, 2008 Members Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think some folks have mentioned "The Nativity Story" on OB before. Could someone give a review of this or post a link to one if it's already been posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted November 14, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2008 I think some folks have mentioned "The Nativity Story" on OB before. Could someone give a review of this or post a link to one if it's already been posted? We saw it last year. It wasn't a bad movie, although I didn't really care for the way they presented Mary in the beginning. She was kind of rebellious seeming, and I really don't think she was truly that way. It was interesting. My brother had the dvd. I personally wouldn't buy the movie, but it was a nice evening. Can't remember a lot of details, because it's been almost a year. But the bit about Mary kind of stuck out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Thank you LuAnne. That's one of the things I don't like about many Christian/Bible-based movies; they seem to really portray many characters in ways the Bible doesn't suggest. Moses is so often protrayed as not really trusting God and not wanting to follow God; Jesus is often portrayed very wimpy, sometimes even somewhat feminine; John the Baptist sometimes seems almost crazy; etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
