Running the Bases (2022)
Exceptional film... Watching it is a gift to your heart!
This movie honestly is one of the best films I have seen this year! It has something for everyone and keeps your attention from beginning to end. The story was excellent and the characters were realistic with heart that draws you in. Acting was A+ and casting was perfect across the board. One way I know a movie is exceptional is if it can make me cry... I cried! This movie was not only entertaining but it masterfully wove real life principles of faith, courage, forgiveness, redemption, and hope throughout. It also has some twists, turns, and surprises too. This film shines and is a must see for all!!
MBF: Man's Best Friend (2019)
THIS FILM WILL IMPACT YOUR HEART!
When my family and I sat down to watch this film, I anticipated it would be a good film just from watching the trailer.. but it was GREAT! From the very beginning you truly start caring about the main character Paul due to excellent acting and writing. You learn quickly about who he is, his history, and most important of all his heart. Within minutes you feel what he is feeling and almost forget your watching a film as you immerse yourself in the story because it stirs many emotions . He is a war hero back from a tour of duty with a range of scars in his mind and body. He finds his peace and a way to cope in the unconditional love he receives when he's caring for the dogs at shelter he works at. He struggles to just get by in a difficult world that at times is just plain cruel to him. As a tragedy occurs you find this story wrapping around your heart... and yes I cried! The writer and acting brings the story full circle to a very powerful ending. I loved also the way they skillfully wove lessons of faith, love, patriotism, courage, forgiveness, and purpose so that the whole family could sit together and enjoy it. I know for a fact this was an awesome movie because I couldn't tear myself away to run into kitchen for even a minute to get a drink! This is a movie that will truly impact your heart and inspire you to be a better person! It really is a MUST SEE and then go tell your friends about it!
Sean Hunt's the White Rider (2017)
A Western With Heart!
This is a wonderful film to sit down and enjoy with the whole family. The story starts with a dramatic scene of a home in blazes and a tragedy setting the backdrop for how this intriguing tale of the White Rider saga unfolds. This Western beautifully weaves together the broken pieces of Gracie Gail's life that has been filled with loss and heartache. The story also creatively shows how God's grace has taken Gracie's heartache and created a strong young woman ready to take on the task of saving those she loves and her hometown. Watching her story shows that with the Lord and a passionate heart for what is right, that a true hero can be young or old. This film has lots of action and great cinematography. A hauntingly beautiful song is woven throughout and sets the mood for the drama. I enjoyed watching this faith based Western and look forward to future films by Sean Hunt.
Dark Canyon (2012)
A Western Worth Watching!
**** may contain spoilers *** I had really been looking forward to watching this movie for awhile. I thought I would listen through the soundtrack a few times prior to watching it tonight, and I am so glad that I did. Wow...I have to say it was one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard connected to a Western film! It had such a wide variety of songs and each added a wonderful layer to the film. I loved all the songs, but especially The Other Side, I couldn't wait to see how it was used in the movie because it really did bring tears to my eyes. This film not only met my expectations but really did exceed them. This film brought together a very talented and versatile group of actors that truly brought this story to life. I was impressed with how easily Kix Brooks has transitioned from singer into a very capable actor able to take on a serious and emotional role such as he did in this film! All of the other actors were amazing also and hit their marks on each of their characters with perfect timing. As a screenwriter I analyze the script and story more than anything. Does it have action, does it keep your interest, do the characters draw you into their world, does it flow, does it keep you guessing until the end? YES to all of the above, it certainly does! And to top it all off you have a wonderful surprise twist ending that you might not see coming. So to sum it all up...Great story, talented and well cast actors, and inspiring music that all adds up to a true western film to be proud of and to be enjoyed for years to come. This film was a job well done and easily one of the best westerns to come down the pass in the recent years!
