From the director and producers of God’s Not Dead and the producers of The Blind comes Average Joe, in theaters beginning October 11. When I found out about this movie, I knew had to see it!

High school football coach Joe Kennedy had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost.

Watch the Trailer…..

Average Joe Movie Review

The movie starts with present day Joe telling his story through flashbacks. Starting with adoption, abuse, fighting, ultimately being left by his adopted parents, then left when they moved so he couldn’t find them. He ends up in a boys home. It also tells the story of how he met his wife when they were kids, and everything they went through, both as kids and as adults.

Joe had never been a football coach before, when he was asked to coach a high school team. He had only played when he was in the Marines. It’s inspiring to see him use what he learned to teach the kids about leadership, teamwork, and family. Since he was a Christian, he prayed with the team after games. Which led to him being told to stop. Then he entered into a different fight. Not only him, but his wife as well.

I remember when this was on the news. His fight for religious freedom is a fight that is important to us all. The first 35 minutes have some intense scenes of his childhood that are not for young kids. That’s what earned it a PG-13 rating. The rest of the movie can be viewed by the whole family. Average Joe is an awesome movie, with an awesome story. When his foster dad from the group home comes to see him at a football game, it is truly heart warming.

Average Joe follows Joe’s story from childhood, to the Supreme Court. Be sure to stay for the credits to hear more about the court case and how important it is to all Americans. I highly recommend you see Average Joe!

Before I get to White Bird, I’m going to backtrack for a minute.

Do you remember the movie Wonder? 10 year old Auggie Pullman had a genetic disorder that required multiple facial surgeries. Unfortunately, he was bullied by a classmate. Wonder is an awesome move. However, you do not have to watch it first. But you should watch it at some point!

So let’s continue on to White Bird……..

From the world of Wonder, which sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter: White Bird. Struggling to fit in at his new school after being expelled for his treatment of Auggie Pullman, Julian is visited by his grandmother and is transformed by the compassionate and heroic story of her attempts to escape Nazi-occupied France during WWII.

White Bird Movie Review

From the director of Finding Neverland, White Bird reminds us to be brave and choose kind. White Bird stars Ariella Glaser, Orlando Schwerdt, Bryce Gheisar, with Gillian Anderson, and Helen Mirren. This movie is rated PG-13. It has some very intense scenes, so I recommend sticking to watching this with your teens, and not younger kids. This is a riveting movie. Oh my goodness. My heart was pounding in some places. Because there are scenes that depict some of the horrible things that happened during the Holocaust.

While fear, grief, and horror are represented, there is a message of hope. The kind of hope that comes from someone doing something kind for you, without asking anything in return. Kindness that can never be repaid.

“When kindness can cost you your life, it becomes like a miracle”

“You forget many things in life. But you never forget kindness. Like love, it stays with you forever.”

In the end, after hearing his grandmother’s story, Julian learned an important lesson about kindness. And how to practice kindness. Thereby changing not only his life, but the lives of those around him.

I highly, highly recommend seeing this incredible movie! The cast, the scenery, the storyline, the directing, all come together to make it incredible.

Buy tickets today to see White Bird in theaters starting October 4th!

Have you heard about the new movie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever? This is a fun film about based on the classic children’s book of the same name!

About The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Featuring Lauren Graham. Screenplay by Ryan Swanson and Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel.

Watch the Trailer!

I’m looking forward to seeing this awesome family movie!

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will be releasing in theaters on November 8th.

God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust is the 5th movie in the film franchise. Even though it’s part of a series of movies, it is a stand alone movie.

In this new movie, Reverend David Hill, amid political and spiritual turmoil, steps up to run for Congress after an incumbent’s sudden death. Battling against Peter Kane, who aims to erase religion from policy, David’s fight becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for people seeking moral leadership in a divided world.

God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust Movie Review

The story starts with a pastor having to tell a mother carrying her little baby that the women’s center has been shut down, and they can no longer offer any help. He was not happy about it either. So when the opportunity presented itself for him to have a platform to make a difference in peoples lives, he took it.

The film is engaging with a captivating story that keeps the whole family entertained. God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust allows families and friends to discuss how to engage in this current political climate with courage. Most importantly, this film demonstrates that Christians should be optimistic, excited, and hopeful about the future.

Watch the Movie Trailer!

The cast of God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust is phenomenal! David A.R. White (God’s Not Dead), Dean Cain (Adventures of Lois & Clark), Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy), Scott Baio (Happy Days), Samaire Armstrong (The O.C.), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), and Ray Wise (RoboCop) with guest appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee, Raymond Arroyo and Newsboys. Of course, music by the Newsboys is always great.

This interview with Samaire Armstrong is a must watch!

I loved this movie! The storyline, the cast, the message, all of it. The writing is amazing.

When told to talk a little bit less about God and little bit more on the dirt on his opponent, he said it was useless to fight dark with dark. “Repay no one evil for evil but give thought to do what is honorable.”

“You don’t win unless you play by their rules.” “I’ve already lost if I do.”

“If you know it’s God’s voice, why wouldn’t you listen?”

“God gave you a voice. God gave you a vote.”

There are too many great moments, and quotes to share!

The political discussion and debates in this movie are discussions currently happening this election year. They will inspire you to get out, use your voice and vote!

I highly recommend God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust for the whole family. There is nothing in it that kids can’t see.

This film is uplifting and relevant just like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was 85
years ago in that Pastor Dave approaches politics with moral courage, loves his
country, stands up to corruption, and represents the principles that made America
great and continue to make America great.

The new White Bird movie is a beautiful, family-friendly story of courage. From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter.

The New White Bird Movie

In White Bird, we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, WHITE BIRD, like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.

Watch the Movie Trailer!

I love this storyline, and am looking forward to see Helen Mirren in this movie. White Bird will be releasing in theaters on October 4th.
