I kept wanting them to emphasize the relationship with Christ as the heart of Christianity, but then I kept reminding myself of the purpose of the film.....to prove God's existence, (not explain how we are to love and serve him.) and I think they did that very well. Only I would have chosen a different music group at the end. <br />But overall, I really enjoyed the film, and thought they did a good job capturing the audience, and throwing in a few surprises as well:) but I was so shocked at some of the things Josh's girlfriend was saying. And let's just say, I was more than rejoicing when she left the screen:) Elanee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12081381036737173413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-73695347165936647442014-03-25T08:14:50.098-07:002014-03-25T08:14:50.098-07:00Ha, I didn't break the bank!

Th...Emily: Wow, I guess it was just a weekend rush! The theater we saw it at was in Vancouver. Yeah, I felt like doing the same to Josh's girlfriend (oh wait, I can't hit girls). When they "broke up", I couldn't help but whisper "thank goodness!"<br /><br />Not sure what previews you saw, but the one we saw had a pretty blatant bedroom scene. It is really sad that they had to show that kind of filth before a Christian movie. :0( I would definitely still recommend not watching movie previews, 'cause you never know what is going to pop up.Kyle Boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245496263961033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-6459272967727999582014-03-24T20:35:59.695-07:002014-03-24T20:35:59.695-07:00Tickets were sold out???

Although I wanted to hit Josh's girlfriend over the head with a 2x4 or something ...try to knock some sense into her head. And the ending was kind of surprising with Prof. Radisson. Well done, but surprising. Personally, I'd say it's better than courageous.<br /><br />Yeah, that last preview was rather....weird? and it did have one, (as we say) wordy dirt. (aka) Dirty Word. But I actually enjoyed the rest of them, and would like to see 'Million Dollar Arm'. But I'll wait till it's out on DVD since We'd probably want to use our Clearplay for it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845343071812035872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-52356384270428842022014-03-24T20:04:04.032-07:002014-03-24T20:04:04.032-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kyle Boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245496263961033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-62998729109957092112014-03-24T17:38:27.255-07:002014-03-24T17:38:27.255-07:00We saw it Saturday with some friends, actually it ...We saw it Saturday with some friends, actually it made us think of how you and all our other grandkids would respond to that challenge.

I would definitely agree. There are not a lot of Hollywood remakes on the Bible that are actually uplifting or faith-strengthening. The missionary from Africa was awesome. "God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good." ;0)<br /><br />Elanee: Thanks! Yeah, that was a bummer! (I mean, it was great that the showing was sold out, but disappointing that we couldn't see it with all our homeschool friends) Maybe we could all get together to watch it when it comes out on DVD!

It's too bad it didn't work out for us all to see it together, but I'm really glad that out of all of us, you all were able to see it anyhow! Maybe we can still see it in a theater....but I doubt it.....since we rarely go to the theater.(I've only been twice in my entire life;) but then again our in-home projector makes it kind of like seeing a movie in a theater without all the extra people. Anyhow, I hope you all had a safe drive back home, and I hope we can see you all again soon!Elanee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12081381036737173413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-5969491089934477902014-03-23T21:07:10.257-07:002014-03-23T21:07:10.257-07:00We also watched this film this weekend, and I woul...We also watched this film this weekend, and I would agree on your rating. It is really inspiring and good. I think as far as "movies in the theater" go, movies about Christian living like this are better than Hollywood remakes of the Bible. I found the violence fairly intense - though I know I am sensitive - and I teared up and looked away. As far as the rest goes - actually I was kind of surprised at Josh's girlfriend - her clothing, her behavior, etc., but I think that was the point. Pretty much the rest of the movie was really good! I liked the Newsboys song, Duck Dynasty appearance, the missionary from Africa, and the way the plot all worked together with the theme. Great movie in my book! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-27345153203587088042014-03-23T20:13:54.452-07:002014-03-23T20:13:54.452-07:00Yeah, I am really disappointed that after all the ...Yeah, I am really disappointed that after all the planning it didn't work out. :0/ Definitely still see the movie in theaters, though!Kyle Boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245496263961033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-79821953377430018312014-03-23T20:08:29.595-07:002014-03-23T20:08:29.595-07:00Hmmmm....
