Travel the Road (2003)
Missionaries?
I spent a year at a major Christian missionary School when I was younger- Columbia International University- and learned somewhat of the amount of preparedness that a foreign missionary requires- a solid grounding in the Scriptures through instruction, intensive study of the culture you are going to, support from numerous churches, participating in a mission organization for accountability, and the absolute necessity of setting a goal of establishing a Church so that one's fruit may abide. And these guys haven't done any of these things. And they're preaching in English to people who don't know the language. Being a light to the world is a serious matter, not something to do on a lark like this. This depiction of Christian missionary work is misleading. Young people who are considering missions are getting a very wrong impression. It's a travesty.
Sister Cities (2016)
A Hollywood Morality Play
The development of the characters in the movie was excellent. The plot moved along briskly, but the ending was not predictable. the movie unfolded piece by piece. Lots of dialogue, none of which was irrelevant and also lots of action, for a chick flick. All of which served the theme, which I will not reveal. But I will say is that this, for me, is what matters the most, and when I call it a Hollywood morality play, I'm talking about Hollywood morality. Sister Cities lays out a developing trend in American moral thinking that I believe is an aspect of the general degeneration of our society, and despite the fact that this movie is well crafted, I give it a 4.
