Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I’m a sucker for Disney’s High School Musical series, which is probably why I like A Week Away so much. Yes, the plots and settings and characters are different, but the vibes are the same. Even though I wouldn’t call A Week Away a cinematic masterpiece, it’s definitely worth watching—especially if you’re a fellow fan of the High School Musical series.
When I shared my not-so-kind remarks on The Office last week, I promised to recommend a more wholesome resource to you this week. That resource is Unsung Hero. It’s truly one of the best faith-based films I’ve ever seen, and I hope this post will inspire you to see it for yourself.
As a Hallmark movie junkie, I don’t typically enjoy movies like Uncharted. But I do enjoy actors like Tom Holland—hence why I watched Uncharted. Though this movie had a few flaws, its overarching theme was surprisingly good.
So when I learned about the movie Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, I was beyond excited to see it. I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect because I hadn’t read the book that it was based on, but I had high expectations about it. And it met my high expectations—for the most part.
But regardless of my opinion of Mamma Mia!, it objectively defied the biblical view of marriage. Unfortunately, I can never get the 108 minutes back that I spent watching it; but I hope to save you that time.
Though I’d never read Dr. Carolyn Weber’s memoir Surprised by Oxford, I highly anticipated the release of the movie Surprised by Oxford, which was—yup, you guessed it—based on the book. So when I saw it was coming out in theaters for a limited two-day release, I insisted on going to see it. After spending two hours watching a beautiful yet flawed love story unfold, I walked out of the theater feeling a mixture of bliss and disappointment.
But the recently released Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has drawn far more attention than all of the animated Barbie movies combined. Why? What’s the draw? Is it nostalgia? The A-list actors and actresses in the cast? All the pink? Perhaps it's simply unrealistic expectations.
No, I don’t (solely) regret watching La La Land because Ryan Gosling simply isn’t as attractive as he thinks he is. (I’ve seen guys in the grocery store who are way more handsome than he is.) I honestly regret watching it because I felt convicted not to watch it…and I proceeded to watch it anyway.
I wasn’t going to be one of them—a fangirl who has to see every single movie with Actor A because he’s so hot and charming. Until I did become one of them—a fangirl who has to see every single movie with Actor A because he’s so hot and charming.
