to watch and...*dum,dum,dum* not to watch (take 2)

Facing the Giants
Last night, we watched the movie, Facing the Giants. Gosh, this is an awesome movie!! We decided to rate it E/E for Exciting and Emotional. It's about a football team, whose coach's life is not too great. He's had a loosing season for all of the 6 years he had been coaching the team for. The parents want to get rid of him because they think he can't coach very well. He feels really bad (that's an understatement)(about coaching and his life) and doesn't know what to do. Finally, he turns to God and realizes that everything should be done for God's honor and glory, and he comes up with a new philosophy for the football team. Basically, it's whether we win or loose, we're going to praise God, and we're going to work our hardest in everything for Him. And the coach and the team are blessed abundantly for doing that!! It's a very inspirational movie, and everyone should see it!! The characters are very interesting and well thought out!! There are a bunch of funny parts!! Two of the best lines in the movie is- "You're about to face the biggest team you've ever faced. Leave everything out on the field. Give your best to God. Whether we leave this field as victors or not, we give God the glory. Now, who will go fight the giants with me?" and "For the rest of your life, you will remember today. I want you to remember that you held nothing back, you did not loose heart , you did not stop fighting, you did not quit." So, I don't want to say anything else, or else I'll give the whole movie away, but the last thing I have to say is, this movie is awesome!! It is a great Christian movie, and it shows that if you trust God, He will provide for all your needs!! (oh and another thing, the music is awesome!!) This gets a go watch this movie now from me!! :) [below is the trailer:) ] [i was going to put another really good scene on here, but it would kinda give part of the movie away!! so, you're just gonna have to go watch the movie!! :)]



A really funny scene-

to watch and...*dum,dum,dum* not to watch

i'm thinking i might start reviewing movies! what do ya think?! well, here are two movies that i've seen. i'm gonna label them either "to watch" (a good movie) or "NOT to watch (a bad movie)
sooo, here are two movies i'll start with...
numero one-
The Princess Bride
sooo...i absolutely love this movie!! i'm not really sure why i like it though... i'll try and sum it up sort of! well, first of all, it's really, really, really funny!! before i'd seen it, my dad had kept telling my sisters and i that we had to see it, but we thought it was a "grown-up movie", mostly because of the title and cover art. but, we finally saw it, and it is most definitely not a "grown-up movie"!! it's not your average fairy tale!! it doesn't really have any life-changing scenes, but it's a great movie! the characters are very original, and fun to watch!! i would tell you about it, but it would ruin the story!! basically it's about this girl who finds her true love, and then is forced to marry the evil prince (that's sort of a very, very short summary, there's a lot more!). and there's a lot of adventure and excitement! it's very interesting!! soo, this movie is most definitely a "to watch"!! (oh, and the book is awesome, too, it's almost better than the movie, if that's possible!) and btw, it's most definitely not a chick flix!! it has blood and guts in it, and sword fighting and fights!! it's a pretty awesome movie!! you should go see it!! :)



numero two-
Chicken Little
o.k., well, i don't really have very much to say about this one... it's just not a very interesting movie! :/ the storyline is lame and boring, there's not really anything really good about it!! it's about a chicken who thinks the sky is falling, and everyone makes fun of him, and they make a movie making fun of him because they don't believe him. then, he joins the baseball team to make his dad proud of him after the "sky is falling incident". and he makes a home run in the championship game and wins the game, this makes his dad proud of him, and he's really happy. the "piece of sky" is really a part of an aliens ship, and they come back to get the piece and accidentally leave their son behind. at the end, the come back and invade chicken little's town because they think he kidnapped their son. in the end, they resolve the issue and everything's better. and, like most movies, chicken ends up kissing his best friend (:P now how gross is that?!). some weird things- supposedly they're in high school!!? the names are kind of unoriginal; goosy loosy, foxy loxy, turkey lurkey?? and in gym class, the teacher divides the kids into "popular" and "non-popular" and addresses the kids according to their status (like for a "non-popular" kid, he calls them "non-popular") a couple more strange things about the movie, definitely not a movie i'd ever recommend to anyone!! so, this movie get a "NOT to watch"!

comments are welcome!! please tell me whether you agree or not with my "reviews", or if i got something wrong!! *the reviews are just my opinion!!*
