We used to enjoy watching Duck Dynasty as a family. So when I heard that they were making a movie about their family’s lives, I really looked forward to watching it. And doing a The Blind movie review!

The Blind The True Story of the Robertson Family did not disappoint.

Long before Phil Robertson was a reality TV star, he fell in love, started a family, and began to spiral out of control. The Blind shares never before revealed moments in Phil’s life as he seeks to conquer the shame of his past, ultimately finding redemption in an unlikely place.

The Blind is rated PG-13, which I highly recommend adhering to. There are some dark moments, as there have been in many of our lives. If you have a sensitive teen, I suggest watching it first to see if you think it’s appropriate for your teenager to watch.

The Blind Movie Review

The Blind starts with Phil as a boy with his family and the hard times they went through. As a teenager, Phil played on the high school football team, and met Kay, a cheerleader. Phil went off to college to play football, while Kay stayed home to finish high school while pregnant. They married, and Phil graduated from college, though he gave up playing football.

Things got worse for Kay and Phil once they were married. Alcohol addiction, domestic violence, money trouble, all culminated in Phil kicking Kay and the kids out.

Kay came to know Christ, and worked on making a new life for the kids, never giving up wanting her family united and whole. Phil reached rock bottom, and found his way to Christ. Through their faith, they were able to restore their marriage and their family.

While the movie does hit on how Phil started making duck calls, that business is not the main focus of The Blind. The main focus is Phil and Kay. Who they are, what they were, and what they have become. And what their family was, and now is. Even though there are dark moments, we need to see them so we can truly understand how their lives changed when they came to know Christ.

The Blind is a powerful true story that showcases God’s redemptive power to change our lives when we surrender to Him!

See The Blind only in theaters starting September 28! I look forward to watching it with my family!

If you are a regular here, you know I love good movies that the whole family can watch together. I was recently able to watch Legacy Peak, the latest movie from Pure Flix, online.

In Legacy Peak, Jason wants nothing more than to have Noelle’s kids like him. But when a perfectly planned trip to a mountain cabin falls apart, the ensuing adventure could tear them apart or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Together they’ll discover how to trust again and what it means to be a family.

Check out the trailer!

Legacy Peak Movie Review

Legacy Peak is not a comedy. It is a drama full of action, a plane crash, surviving in the woods, being chased by wolves, and how the Father is always watching out for you.

I did laugh at one scene, cried at another one, and could not stop watching until the end.

Here’s a favorite quote from the movie:

“A father stands in the gap, kids on one side, wolves on the other, he says whatever comes, nothing can reach those kids. Doesn’t have to win, but he’s gotta stand there, give his live if that’s what it comes to.”

I love that the whole family can watch Legacy Peak together. And that there are lessons that the whole family can learn. What it means to be a family, and what it means to trust God in the hard situations in life.

Pure Flix has a couple of articles to help your family:

You can watch Legacy Peak on Pure Flix starting September 22nd!

I love watching movies. Good, clean movies with a good story line. That’s exactly what I got with the new movie An Unlikely Angel exclusively on Pure Flix. Check out my An Unlikely Angel Movie Review below.

An Unlikely Angel Movie Review

Synopsis:

Janie is a power player in the boardroom but is falling apart at the thought of becoming a mom. A silent prayer for help is answered in very unlikely ways when an Angel intervenes and fast forwards her life. Can Janie learn to trust God and find purpose and meaning in her new role?

An Unlikely Angel features the following cast:

Jillian Murray as Janie, Robert Amaya as Gabe, Aaron Mees as David, Sam J. Jones as Buck, Brittany Goodwin as Kelly, and Delyla de Castro as Samantha.

Janie is so wrapped up in her work that she leaves her husband and new baby girl as they were leaving the hospital to go to work. Just 12 hours after after giving birth. An angel, Gabe, was waiting there to drive her to work. Although, Janie didn’t know it was an angel.

Angel Gabe does something to help Janie. But at the time, you couldn’t tell it. While watching the movie, I said to myself , “Why in the world did the angel just do that???”.

I won’t giveaway the rest of the story line, but what the angel did was something that ended up really helping Janie, who was trying to do it all, know that she wasn’t alone on her motherhood & family journey.

An Unlikely Angel is not anti-working mother, it’s pro-priorities. Prioritizing what’s important in life. Faith and family.

I really liked An Unlikely Angel. It’s a good, clean movie you can watch with the whole family. It helps us all realize that we need to get back to the basics in an overcomplicated world.

The Case for Heaven Review & Pure Flix Giveaway

Francis Chan, the late Evangelist Luis Palau, and more.

The Case for Heaven Review & Pure Flix Giveaway

The Case for Heaven Synopsis: We all want to know what happens after we die. In THE CASE FOR HEAVEN, best-selling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel explores the evidence for the afterlife in order to address man’s biggest fear: death. Inspired by his own brush with death, Strobel searches for answers to the most profound questions we all have, about heaven, hell, and Near-Death Experiences. Featuring interviews with experts and skeptics, THE CASE FOR HEAVEN will challenge, encourage and inspire as Strobel dares to probe the most important question. If there is a heaven, can we prove it?

“Viewers will be surprised, captivated and encouraged by ‘The Case for Heaven,’ a beautiful and compelling film. It will dispel many of their misconceptions about the afterlife. I’m thrilled with the enthusiastic reception the documentary has received so far – and I can’t wait for an even wider audience to experience it.” -Lee Strobel

The Case for Heaven Review

The Case for Heaven starts out by talking about what is is to be a human. How our brain, emotions, and free will work. Then segues into whether our consciousness is still aware when we are in a coma & clinical death, and then into near death experiences. He shares several stories of people describing their near death experiences.

He studied over 1,000 near death experiences while working on The Case for Heaven. He found that the descriptions of these experiences all had many things in common. Several people are featured sharing their experiences. Including some that talk about their near death experiences in hell.

Nobody knows what happens in those minutes before someone dies. How we live our lives, and what we do or say in those minutes before we die determines what happens after we die.

He does share his opinion of what hell will be like. How he doesn’t think it will be one size fits all, that everyone’s experience in hell will be fair, a fair comparison to how they lived their life. An interesting point of view that I haven’t heard before.

The Case for Heaven is a documentary. So there are a few slow moving parts. Overall, though, I think the Case for Heaven is very well down. And does indeed make a case for heaven.

The Case for Heaven will be exclusively on Pure Flix starting July 15th!
