Wives and Daughters

B&H Rating:


This was an excellent movie if you like "bonnet tales" (as an acquaintance of mine calls them). This one was a great bonnet tale - I especially liked it because of the ending, but I won't tell you and spoil it for you...

Treasure Blind

B&H Rating:


It took us three tries to find a movie that didn't have filth in it on Saturday, but we finally found this one. It is a nice story with a good message. It only got three stars because the quality of filming and acting is not too good, but the message makes up for it I think.

Treasure of the Snow

B&H Rating:


This is an EXCELLENT Book! One of the best that I've read in a long time. It is a touching story of repentance and forgiveness told from the perspective of children who are often the best at those things.

North And South

B&H Rating:


This was a great movie. It has a very similar story line to Pride and Prejudice, only a bit more dramatic and more depressing at times. It was four hours and fairly slow-moving. I wouldn't recommend it for young children because there are a few disturbing moments and a few violent scenes. Because of that, I can't say that I really want to see it again, but it was a good love-story.

To Kill a Mockingbird

B&H Rating:


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.

Recovering Charles

B&H Rating:


This was an excellent book and I do recommend it! It's one of those books that's hard to put down. It deals with the aftermath and victims of Hurricane Katrina. A book that makes you think about and feel grateful for health and peace and safety. I enjoyed reading it and hope you do too!

He Knew He was Right

B&H Rating:


This is a long movie. It was very interesting - another deep thinking movie. A good one to watch when you are feeling stubborn about something. I'm not sure I really liked the ending...

The Inheritance

B&H Rating:


I watched this movie 3 times - once by myself, once with my husband and once with my mom. Each time was enjoyable. This was an excellent movie - a real romance!

Time Changer

B&H Rating:


This was an excellent movie with a great message from our Christian brothers and sisters. It's one of those movies that you think about long after it's over. It reminded me of how much we have in common with our friends of other faiths.

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!

Though None Go With Me

B&H Rating:


This was an excellent movie. Very clean with a with a very good message. It is Christian-based with many references to God and trusting in Him amidst our trials. We liked this one so much that we bought it for our collection.

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.

Emma Smith My Story

B&H Rating:


This was an excellent movie. We really enjoyed watching it.

The Color of Paradise

B&H Rating:


This is a great international film. Very touching. The movie takes place in Afghanistan (I think) and has beautiful scenery. It is in a different language so you have to watch the subtitles, but it's not hard to follow the plot like some international films.

Fireproof

B&H Rating:


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.

The Girl of the Limberlost

B&H Rating:


This is a wonderful movie with an endearing story. This was one of my favorite books growing up and I was delighted to find the movie. I highly recommend it!

When I Find the Ocean

B&H Rating:


This movie is not relaxing and not appropriate for young children. It deals with tough, emotional issues like racism and child abuse. But it has a very touching story.

Jane Eyre

B&H Rating:


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!

Wall-E

B&H Rating:


This movie was entertaining, but clean. We enjoyed it.

The Christmas Box

Good movie. Not suitable for young children because of the emotional content.

Miss Potter

B&H Rating:

A good clean movie based on Harriet Potter's life (author of Peter Rabbit books) – has a sweet story.

Excellent Movie. Teaches great values.

David Copperfield

B&H Rating:

Pretty good movie. A little scary for young kids, but clean.

The Way Home

B&H Rating:

This movie is in Korean with English subtitles. I think it was rated G. Pretty good movie. Not a lot of talking. The boy goes to live with his old grandmother who lives a very simple life. Good movie about sacrifice and love.

Rabbit-Proof Fence

B&H Rating:

Pretty Good movie. About three girls who are taken from their home because of racial bigotry. They escape and travel to their home along the rabbit-proof fence. Probably not suitable for children because of emotional content.

The Love Comes Softly Series

B&H Rating:

We enjoyed watching the Love Comes Softly movie series. The acting in the movies is a little goofy in places, but if you can look past that, the movies are enjoyable and uplifting. The movies are based off of the books by Janette Oke which are also very good. They are well-written and clean.

Summer of the Monkeys

B&H Rating:

We really like this movie. It's clean, has a good message and teaches good values.
