God's Not Dead 2 (2016)
A revealing and satisfying movie
"God's Not Dead 2" is a film that is a continuation of its 2014 prequel "God's Not Dead". A welcome and fresh departure from other religious movies that have been seen as slow-moving and one-sided, "God's Not Dead 2" maintains a brisk pace with plot twists that are energizing and persuasive. The writing is decent; and the directing and editing are very well done. The story keeps one enjoyably engaged; and the acting, while not stellar, is believable and for the most part nicely performed.
The film is based on true stories, history, and court cases (cited in the credits) with the premise that freedom to exercise religion and the freedom of speech in the United States is being challenged with bias and unconstitutionally. Most of the negative and foul reviews of the movie bring the self-actualizing point that "God's Not Dead 2" is a revealing movie. It would be reckless for any movie-goer to expect not to hear Biblical and historical accounts of the Christian faith and Jesus. In addition, while controversial, the film correctly states that the phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the United States Constitution, nor in the Bill of Rights.
On its own, "God's Not Dead 2" is a satisfying movie that brings good talent to the screen.
Interstellar (2014)
Draws and captivates
Good movie that draws you in immediately and keeps you interested. I really enjoyed it. Without seeing any previews of the movie it was thoroughly captivating and emotional all the way. Not sure if these are spoilers but I liked how "Love" transcends everything. And although the movie is epic and thoughtful like "2001: A Space Odyssey", some of the effects also reminded me of "2010: The Year We Make Contact". The first docking scene has pulsating music that reminded me of the probe sound in 2010 when it's surveying Europa and it discovers chlorophyll; and also the "aerobraking" maneuver. In addition, I agree with Christopher Nolan not liking a 3D format. I saw "Interstellar" in an older theater on a screen that is small compared to today's screen sizes and I don't think I missed any experience whatsoever.
