Fireproof (2008)
nice Christian film
Why did I write in ALL CAPS? Because it is what it is. A Christian movie.
This movie is VERY heavy on the message. So much so that I think most of the audience will be turned off. I am a Christian and have loved all of Sherwood's films. But this one was the first that seemed to have a fake Gospel message.
Now for a sentence I never thought I'd write - Kirk Cameron was great in the film. Fantastic performance.
So... I give it a 7 as a Christian movie. I liked Facing the Giants better. Also liked - End of the Spear, The List (just saw it), Beyond The Gates and Time Changer.
The List (2007)
good adaptation of a great novel
Loved the book The List. It was one of the first that I read by Robert Whitlow.
While most novels are better than the films, I felt this was just about as good. What I mean is that it is more polished than the novel but probably isn't as in depth or pack as much punch.
I thought the locations were great. The cast superb. Burton, McDowell and Patton led the way.
As to the negative reviews... go figure. This is a nice PG rated family film about prayer.
It is that simple.
