Believer’s Testimony We were on vacation and I mentioned “The Lord” to an acquaintance in conversation, he stopped and acknowledged his mutual faith. I added, “The Lord’s name is Yeshua”, just so there was no […]

A Hidden Life, The Movie “…for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is […]
Harriet, the Movie (2019)
When we got this movie I thought it was a western with a woman heroine, like most of the movies today, that seek to replace the notion of male leadership with a maternal hegemony. When […]
Chernobyl and Lies
It seems that some of the best movies are knockoffs or inspired by documentaries of the same events, consider: – A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood vs Want You Be My Neighbor – Captain Phillips […]

A Matter of Faith
This 2014 movie is about evolution versus creationism, a topic which few in the secular mainstream would find interesting, but Christians might. As a “Christian” film it does not have the flash, pomp, and professionalism […]
