Rocky Balboa

Reviewed on Jan 15 2007

For us Baby Boomers, Rocky Balboa (2006) gives hope that dreams still can be realized, even in our sixties.  What I like most about this film–as in Sylvester Stallone's other Rocky films–is his down-to-earth honesty and goodness, and with the same virtues in most of his friends. Rocky is a man that you can trust.  For him and his friends, their "yes" is yes and their "no" is no, and you don't have to read in between the ...

Rules of Engagement

Reviewed on Nov 06 2007

I like to see films where honor is still valued. In today's society, in our government, military, and culture, the virtue of honor seems to be lost and what has taken its place is dishonor and selfishness.  On a fallen world where war still exists between people and nations, there is a thin line between the right and wrong thing to do for a soldier. I believe there is a universal code of right consciousness that exists which all individuals can tap into at those moments ...

Canadian drama

A Canadian minister's faith is challenged, and he asks God many questions that we all ask, as he tries to unravel the burning down of a house and killing of a family by someone he knows from childhood who he believes is innocent and would never do this, even though his friend confessed to the crime. Worth watching for its many spiritual questions and answers; Corbin Bernsen.

The Salvation

Reviewed on Dec 21 2015

Mads Mikkelsen does an excellent job in playing the quiet, tough man Jon Jensen who revenges his son's, wife's, and brother's deaths by the hands of two 1870s cowboys. The brother, Mikael Persbrandt, also plays a man's man, who saves Jon from the hands of the vicious Henry Delarue (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his gang, who are bent to kill Jon for killing Henry's brother, even though it was in retribution for the rape and murder of his wife and son. This European cowboy film is much better than ...

Sarah's Key

Reviewed on May 22 2012

French drama—This is a tragic Second World War story of an eleven-year-old girl who hides her brother in a secret wall and locks the door to try to save him from the French collaborators with the Nazis, who round up thousands of French Jews and put them in horrible conditions and eventually to death camps in Germany. The little girl goes through tremendous suffering and never sees her mother and father again, who were taken away. I was surprised to learn that the French collaborators ...

The Secret

Reviewed on Sep 04 2007

I feel that I must expose the dangers of the film The Secret, because of its potential to cause many thousands to miss the will of God in major areas of their lives. “The secret” is really no secret.

In the Lucifer Rebellion 200,000 years ago, Lucifer basically told all constituents in the system of Satania (in which he, at one time, was the system sovereign), that God’s ascension plan was too difficult and that life was too hard doing it basically ...

Seven Pounds

Reviewed on Apr 06 2009

Drama

What a beautiful movie! An actual excellent love story. I think I fell in love with Rosario Dawson and probably so did every other man who saw this movie. I hope Will Smith realizes how blessed of God he is to be able to act in these kinds of films with a wonderful message of hope and goodness of the human heart. The character proves that humanity can do wonderful things for other people. As The URANTIA Book says, on this fallen world there is the agony and ecstasy of ...
