A.D. The Bible Continues (2015)
Not impressed
Aa a Christian I do support any programming that has something to offer besides the usual garbage on TV. However, I find the loose translation & elegant British accents offensive. I have watched the Visual Bible, a word for word rendering of Scripture a far more moving & inspirational experience. So being politically correct & "diverse" is more important than accuracy. All of the apostles were Jews, why couldn't they have used Israeli actors, so we wouldn't have the distraction of looking & listening to people who don't even remotely resemble what the Apostles & disciples might have been like? Definitely didn't hold my interest for more than about 10 minutes
The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone (2013)
Enjoyable family film
My family & I really enjoyed "The Lost Medallion". There was enough action & plot development to keep 2 adults and a 10 year old entertained for the entire movie. The acting was good, and there were great moral themes. I personally am sick of the action "blockbusters" we see where humanistic themes reign and the heroes are worshiped as gods. This was by no means comparable to the big Hollywood films, the production values & special effects would never compare to that. But it was great to see courage & kindness encouraged in children, there was no bad language & I felt very comfortable letting my 10 year old grandchild watch it. The ending message was positive & uplifting.
