Tyson’s Run Movie Review & $20 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

March 9, 2022 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

I was recently able to watch a screener video of Tyson’s Run. It’s a new movie about persistence and faith. Keep reading for my Tyson’s Run Movie Review and a giveaway!

Tyson’s Run – Movie Review

Tyson’s Run tells the story of 15 year old Tyson, who has autism. He has been homeschooled his whole life by his mother. Now, he has started to attend public school where his father coaches football. Because he wanted to learn algebra. lol He said he would go, learn algebra, and come back to teach it to mom, since she doesn’t know how to do it. lol

While helping his father at football practice, he meets champion marathon runner Aklilu, who is using the track. His life is changed forever.

Tyson becomes determined to run his first marathon, Never letting his autism hold him back. By running, Tyson hopes to win his father’s approval. He runs every chance he gets. Including leaving the house at all hours to go running. As you can imagine, that doesn’t go over well with his parents.

With the help of an unlikely friend and his parents, Tyson learns that with faith in yourself and the courage to take the first step, anything is possible.

Check out the trailer!

Tyson’s Run

Tyson’s father seems rather cold towards him. So it’s understandable that Tyson would like to win his approval.

Tyson has a bit of a rough start at public school, but soon makes friends. Friends that help him, and cheer him on while he is running his first marathon.

.

After a life threatening accident while running, his father realizes how important it is to Tyson to become a marathon runner. Then he does everything he can to help Tyson get to the marathon.

What a shock to everyone when he won his first marathon! Especially the naysayers!

Tyson’s run is an awesome family movie! There is a scene where some kids pull Tyson’s chair out from under him when he is sitting down. Causing him to fall, and his lunch tray to turn over on him. But the scene ends with a girl coming over, telling the boys to stop, and helping Tyson up. She then invites him to sit at her table, and they become good friends. So it’s a great scene to have a conversation with our kids about how to treat, and help, others.

While not based on a true story, it has the feel that it could be. I loved Tyson’s Run, and plan on buying it when it becomes available in stores.

Tyson’s Run opens in theaters on March 11! Go buy your tickets now!

Vindication Review & Pure Flix Subscription Giveaway

September 29, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

Do you love binge watching shows? I do! I was recently able to watch all of Vindication Season 1, an original crime drama series on Pure Flix. I loved it! Check out my review of Vindication Season 1. Now I’m back with another Vindication Review & a PureFlix subscription giveaway!

Vindication Season 2 is now out, with a new episode every Wednesday! So far, Season 2 is just as awesome as Season 1.

Vindication is not one of the usual crime drama shows you usually see. It’s a faith based show that follows Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad), a 15 year police veteran in a small town in Texas.

I’m not seeing an official age rating, but Vindication is suitable for teenagers and adults.

I was assigned Season 2 Episode 5 The Game of Life to tell you about. There was a lot happening in this episode, the rivalry between Precinct 2 and Precinct 1 intensifies. In the office, in the gym, and culminating in a flag football game to raise money for charity. Playing your rivals makes for an intense football game.

Detective Travis and his wife, through a series of events, take in a young man just being released from jail. They are adjusting to having a young man in the house, while the young man is adjusting to living in a house again.

Vindication Season 2 Trailer

Check out the Vindication Season 2 trailer.

Unlike past episodes, there was no case solved in this episode. It focused on character development, continuing story lines, as well as starting a new storyline. Episode 5 ends in a cliffhanger. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so I won’t tell you what it is!

I enjoyed watching this episode. It was nice to have one that focused on the main characters more, instead of a crime. Can’t wait to watch the next one and see how this cliff hanger ends!!

You can watch Vindication on PureFlix.

For more information, visit the Vindication website.

Vindication Season 1 Review

September 14, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

I love finding new shows to watch. I was able to watch Season 1 of Vindication on PureFlix last week. Actually, I binge watched the whole season, 10 episodes, in 2 days. lol And then I wished there had been more episodes in season 1!

Vindication is an original crime drama series on PureFlix. Started in 2005 by Michael Scott, David A.R. White, and Russell Wolfe, PureFlix leading faith & family friendly streaming video service.

Vindication is not one of the usual crime drama shows you usually see. It’s a faith based show that follows Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad), a 15 year police veteran in a small town in Texas. He faces a big adjustment when he is assigned a new trainee, that he doesn’t really want. His family is also featured in the episodes. His devoutly religious wife, and his estranged daughter that returns home. Other than a couple of higher ups in the police department that are shown occasionally, the episodes feature a new story line, and new characters in each .

I’m not seeing an official age rating, but Vindication is suitable for teenagers and adults.

One of the unique features to Vindication, is that while they are investigating the cases, there is always a faith based lesson that one of the characters learns by the end of each episode.

Vindication Season 1 Trailer

Check out the Vindication Season 1 trailer. (Sorry about the cookie warning on the video. There is nothing I can do about it, as it’s not on my end. If you don’t want to accept the cookies, you can still watch the video, just hit play, it just won’t be full screen.)

Here’s a sampling of some of the themes in Vindication Season 1 include, and there are many more.

  • relinquishing control
  • Stressed parent/child relationships
  • Repaired parent/child relationship
  • Making decisions to turn your life around
  • Telling the truth about hard things
  • Relying on prayer
  • Deliverance
  • PTSD/military
  • Marriage challenges
  • Drug addiction/relapse/recovery
  • Misunderstood odd behavior
  • Assuming the best in people
  • Autism/Disability
  • Keeping up with the Joneses/wealth/income
  • Parenting teenagers
  • Unanticipated consequences of sin
  • Self control and self mastery
  • Grass isn’t always greener

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started watching Vindication. I didn’t realize that each episode was separate, and the story didn’t continue for the whole season. But after episode 1, I was hooked. I loved Vindication. I highly recommend it for teens and adults. For more information, visit the Vindication website.

I’m really looking forward to watching season 2. Which I will start doing very soon! lol

Keep your eye open for my review of an episode from Season 2 of Vindication. And an awesome giveaway that you won’t want to miss!

September 6, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

Show Me the Father is the new documentary from the Kendrick Brothers.

You may have seen some of their movies before. The Fly Wheel, Facing the Giants, War Room, Courageous, Fireproof, Overcomer. All awesome movies.

Show Me the Father is different from those great movies since it’s a documentary. The format may be different from their usual movies, but the Kendrick Brothers use this documentary to focus on the importance of fathers.

Society today tries to get us to believe that fathers are unnecessary. The Kendrick Brothers present a different perspective of the roles of fathers using interviews, old pictures, statistics, and more.

Check out the Trailer!

We all have a father story. Whether yours was the best father on the planet, the worst, or you never knew your father, and everywhere in between. We all have been affected by our fathers.

Show Me the Father has several amazing true stories that are powerful and heart warming. The Kendrick Brothers use these true stories of fathers to help us see the fatherhood of God. I had tears in my eyes several times while watching the screener. This is not your usual documentary fare. It’s very engaging and inspiring. I highly recommend you see Show Me the Father in theaters when it opens this weekend.

2 Hearts Review – Inspirational Movie Based on a True Story

October 16, 2020 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

This summer, I was able to watch a screener for the new movie 2 Hearts to review. 2 Hearts shows us that every moment is a gift. Several themes run throughout the movie: sacrificial love, hope, family, and miracles.

 

 

2 Hearts movie

 

For two couples the future unfolds in different decades and different places, but a hidden connection will bring them together in a way no one could have predicted. Based on an inspirational true story, 2 HEARTS is a romantic journey that celebrates life, love and generosity of spirit, and will strengthen our belief that miracles still happen.

 

 

2 Hearts Review – Inspirational Movie Based on a True Story

 

2 HEARTS, rated PG13, from Freestyle Releasing/ AMT Productions, stars: Jacob Elordi (Euphoria; KISSING BOOTH), Tiera Skovbye (Riverdale, THE MIRACLE SEASON), Radha Mitchell (DREAMKATCHER; THE SHACK), Adan Canto (X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; Designated Survivor)

 

 

Fans are loving the trailer for 2 HEARTS! The trailer has 27 million views on YouTube, over 10 million views on Facebook, and nearly 60,000 views on Instagram!

 

Check it out!

 

 

2 Hearts in theaters October 16, 2020!

 

I liked this movie. No, I didn’t love it. I found it hard to follow the story line at first. It took a little bit to get to know the characters and follow the story line. Once the film got going, and I learned the characters, I enjoyed the movie.

There was some language that was unnecessary. I always find it disappointing when otherwise good movies have to use language that gets a higher rating. I suggest you follow the rating advice, or pre-watch it before sharing with your kids or teens. Overall, though, I did enjoy this movie.

 

Watch this exclusive clip….

 


 

2 Hearts is in theaters now!!

Before the Wrath DVD Review & Giveaway

September 3, 2020 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

*This post contains affiliate links

 

Have you heard of the term eschatology? Eschatology is a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of humankind. In other words, the end times.

In this inspirational documentary, Before the Wrath, you’ll hear from researchers, anthropologists, theologists and eschatologists about newly discovered evidence from the time of Christ. This new evidence reveals how and why the rapture must occur. You will also see new biblical insight that gives us hope and helps us to prepare for what’s coming.

 

Before_the_Wrath_Shot05

 

Before the Wrath starts with Jesus, where he lived, the people, the culture. Not only was Jesus a Jew, he was a Galilean. So were all his disciples. The Galileans had developed their own customs, different from the rest of the area where they lived. Jesus spoke to his disciples and his followers, referencing these customs, so they all knew exactly what he was talking about.

We, as modern day Christians, do not know about these customs. So we often miss these references.

The discussion of the Last Supper and communion is fascinating. It covers some cultural comparisons between a Galilean wedding and the last supper that I have never heard before. But that makes so much sense now!

 

The way the betrothed couple behaves after the betrothal compared to Jesus, what he says at the Last Supper, and what he says about returning are extremely similar when compared culturally.

 

Before the Wrath

 

No one knew the day and the hour of a Galilean wedding. Not even the bride and the groom. Only the father. It was a surprise wedding! Wow. See the comparison?

 

We’re not supposed to deal with the actual date. We are supposed to deal with the preparation.

 

 

 

The symbolism of the bridegroom going to his bride is breath taking when you see how the wedding ceremony compares to Jesus’s return.

 

Satan hates marriage because of what it represents. A microcosm of what awaits in heaven. A picture of what will be fulfilled when it comes (the rapture).

 

In discussing marriage, some of the statistics given were alarming to me. You can tell Satan hates marriage, and will do anything to stop or end it.

 

I am fascinated with this film! In case you couldn’t tell by the number of times I said fascinated. lol  I have just barely touched on the topics covered. It’s going to take more than one watching, for sure! You are going to want to get the DVD so you can watch it multiple times. I know I do!

 

Before the Wrath was released on March 3, 2020 by Ingenuity Films.
