LINCOLN - 7/1/2022
Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN focuses on President Lincoln’s efforts in January 1865 to pass the Thirteenth Amendment, which outlawed slavery in the United States and its territories. LINCOLN is a meticulous, captivating, somewhat nuanced, and brilliantly performed moral plea against slavery, racism, and prejudice, but it sometimes suggests that the ends justifies the means and contains too much strong foul language that seems anachronistic.

SON OF GOD - 7/1/2022

The pacing could be a little tighter and the movie leaves you wanting to see more about Jesus Christ’s teaching, but SON OF GOD is a captivating, powerful reminder of the glorious nature of God’s grace and love.

I AM LEGEND - 7/1/2022
I AM LEGEND is a very scary, but literate, science fiction thriller about a brilliant scientist in New York City trying to find a cure for a mutated cancer cure that has turned all of the survivors but him into raving cannibal killers. Though too scary and violent for children and other sensitive moviegoers, I AM LEGEND is exhilarating, riveting, touching, profound, and redemptive, with positive Christian content and a brilliant performance by Will Smith.

UNCHARTED - 7/15/2022
UNCHARTED is a rousing action adventure movie about a young bartender and sometime thief who joins an older rogue searching for lost gold allegedly stolen by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago on his trip around the world, a treasure that obsessed the young man’s long-lost brother. Based on a popular video game series, UNCHARTED tells an exciting, terrific story where the treasure hunters are racing against a ruthless band of other treasure hunters, but it has a strong worldview with some moral pro-life content, many Christian symbols and an overtly Christian message in one scene marred by stealing and lots of exclamatory foul language.
