Spirit Untamed (2021)
Unnecessary, somewhat disappointing, but watchable
As the old saying goes, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. The movie would have been much more enjoyable if the same animation style of the Netflix series was used, perhaps created a new story stemming from one or some of the story lines used in the series, and used the same voice talent from the series. Nevertheless, my daughter enjoyed it very much, even though she also had many of the same feelings or reactions that I did.
The Resurrection of Gavin Stone (2017)
Among the best modern Christian films
Over the years I've grown increasingly frustrated with Christian films because of the clichés, legalism, hypocrisy, judgmentalism, poor theology, and utter shallowness that a vast majority of them carelessly slap on the screen. I was admittedly concerned about this film because of the many that have come before it, and because I am a member of a Harvest Bible Chapel which produced this film under the Vertical Church Films name. I was encouraged by initial reviews I heard and read, and words cannot properly convey how refreshing and entertaining I found this film to be after finally viewing it. Yeah, there are clichés, but those were purposefully inserted into the script for the purpose of making fun of them. The story is well-written and centers on forgiveness and finding faith, and it accurately represents the love that Harvest Bible Chapels across the world shows to all who join them in worshiping God week in and week out. Now, I'm not sure what movie @wpbdoc wrote their review about, but either it wasn't for "The Resurrection of Gsvin Stone" or they simply didn't see the movie. This film is definitely worth seeing.
Random Hearts (1999)
I hate to do this to Harry, but...
...this is the worst movie I have seen in a long while. And Sydney Pollack is responsible for making one of the most blah-blah boring films of all time. If it weren't for the sub-plot (and just to be mean I won't divulge any of that info) this film would have been a total loss. If you must watch this film, then do it knowing this -- you will be disappointed, greatly.
