Sound of Freedom (2023)
Powerful Movie -- .Moving and Honest
Sound of Freedom conveys a powerful, moving message.
The acting is strong. There are a few plot gloss-overs that one must accept, but hey, it was a vety low-budget movie...some flaws are to be expected.
However, so much of the movie and cast are so excellent, that one is surprised at it all.
Ultimately, this film is truly inspiring!! From a religious standpoint, surely, as faith was/is a fundamental tenet of Tim Baxter and his wife. They seek to serve and follow God, by saving his weakest, most endangered children.
But a religious lens isn't necessary to see the service, self-sacrifice and risks taken to save children from evil predators who exploit in the worst ways imaginable.
Those who deride this film, almost surely haven't seen it. Or perhaps they are jealous of the successes of Tim Baxter and Operation Underground Railroad, a private organization outside the control of governments -- governments which by and large have been inept in saving these exploited children.
SOF is a powerful, moving film. It is the only film of thr last decade that I would recommend as "must-see cinema."
Go see it. You won't regret it.
Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America (2006)
Great Medical Pandemic thriller
Okay, it's not perfect. Deal with it.
This movie was downright prescient on many of the crises that would arise of Global pandemic. From food and toilet paper shortages to panics to quarantines to urgent vaccine programs to political infighting, this modest flick accurately nailed most of the issues we faced with COVID-19.
This is a pretty good movie, and you should enjoy it. It will also help you realize how lucky we've been with COVID-19, because it could have been much, much worse.
Count your many blessings, folks. This movie will help you see that.
Carve Her Name with Pride (1958)
Wow...GREAT Movie!
First, truth in advertising...this is actually the hubby of the family.
Second, I knew absolutely nothing about this movie before I picked it out of the Amazon Instant Video queue...and it was free, to boot. But, it would have been well worth it had there been a charge.
Third, THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE! It is a smarmy, patriotic, romantic, hero-worshiping (heroine-worshiping?)and completely AWESOME movie. If they let me, I'd give this movie a 15 out of 10!
I can't imagine why the various women's groups don't have this flick on all of their "must-see movie" lists...but they really should. And this is a gent speaking. "Women's Lib" didn't start in the 1960s.
Why the heck can't Hollywood make great, inspiring movies like this one, anymore?
I think if you invest two hours of your life in this particular movie, you'll consider it time well-spent. You'll also gain insights into the risks...and prices paid...of some unique and brave men and women during World War 2.
I recommend completely and without reservation.
