This is a very well done movie. The main character (played by Gregory Peck) models the value of standing up for what is right no matter what the consequences are. It really made me think about how often my own hypocrisies and fears get in the way of doing what I know to be right.

Seasons of the Heart
B&H Rating:
This is a really good movie! But I'm warning you, it's a tear jerker! In a good way though. It's about a family that has lost two daughters. They have to let go of their two girls and come to accept and love a little boy whom they are asked to adopt. This movie really helped me because it was a gentle reminder that we need to show love to our children and look past the goofy and even downright annoying things they sometimes do!

The Blue Butterfly
B&H Rating:
This was a good movie. It's about a boy who has a brain tumor and his last wish is to find a blue butterfly. One of the nice things about this DVD was that it lets you chose between the edited and unedited versions. On the edited version they edited out some of the mild language. I appreciated that a lot because I don't enjoy watching movies that use bad language. With the bad language edited out, this movie was clean and enjoyable. I hope that more film companies can follow this example and produce clean films for people to enjoy.

A wonderful movie - we found it in the redbox after it was recommended to us by my sister-in-law. This movie is not for children, due to it's emotional content. It is, however very clean and teaches good values like fidelity within marriage, honesty, self-lessness, overcoming addictions, etc. We highly recommend it!
I read a cool fact about the film that I'll pass on: In the only kissing scene at the end that is in the shadows, they used the real wife of Kirk Cameron (the main character) instead of the actress that was playing his wife in the movie. Kirk felt that people, even actors, should only kiss their wife, so they made some changes to make that happen.

We watched this the other night. It's a good one! We liked it so much that we couldn't turn it off...warning! It's 311 minutes! Watch it when you've got a large chunk of time. And yes, The book is great too!
