The Blind (2023)
Salvation and Forgiveness on Display
We do not live far from the Robertsons as a matter of fact as the "duck" flies we live about 5 miles across the river from Phil and Kay. We have known the true story for a very long time about how Phil left Tech because he would rather be on the river fishing or hunting than be on the football field. If not for him taking leaver would we have ever heard of Terry Bradshaw?
But the rest of the story came in bits and pieces and this move gave us such a good look at the lives of people we and much of the world have learned to love and respect, both locally and as their lives were put on display on Duck Dynasty. There would not have been a Duck Commander or Duck Dynasty and the Robertson family would not have become the icons if not for Phil coming to the end of himself and allowing God to enter his life. The Blind gives us a picture of how all of that happened and was so very well acted out. From young Phil, Kay, Si and the rest of the beginnings of their family to the boys that were portrayed at the end it was all so beautifully acted out. I am thankful for them allowing the world to know their story, but most of all for using the story of forgiveness and salvation on the big screen. They are as one of the podcast that the family has says, "Unashamed" of their lives as Christians. Oh and in case you don't know, baby Willie is portrayed by Willie's real life grand son John Shepherd.
The Chosen: Sustenance (2023)
FEEDING THE MULTITDE AND OTHER MIRACLES
The Chosen, this show every episode is so beautifully played out every actor gives their heart is showing us The Scriptures. This episode to me waa the best yet, I knew what was going to happen because I know what is in the Bible , but seeing it on the screens really tears to my eyes and a big lump in my throat. Thanks to Dallas Jenkins and all of those responsible for giving us a picture of what it might have looked like 2,000 years ago as over 5,000 people gathered to hear Jesus preach. The back story is so well written and exciting to see. The crowd scenes are full of fans who were the extras who heard Jesus ( Jonathan Roumie) preach. They were wonderful as the cameras scanned the crowd.
I say The Chosen is the best Biblical story ever portrayed and is in my humble opinion the best show I have ever watched. I am now waiting patiently for season 4.
Romance in Style (2022)
Such a sweet storyline
I love this girl Jaicy the young lady who is playing Ella has fast become my new favorite Hallmark actors. She is not your typical romantic interest but she knows what to do, and and how to say it.
The two movies this one and " My Southern Family Christmas" has given us a picture of who she is.
This movie is a retelling of an old story we have all seen played out many times before, always with a "happily ever after" but with a few twist and turns.
And the lessons learned here are not everyone is created by one pattern.
The glam is fun, the antagonist play perfectly well to.the point that they really need to be hurt a few times.
Sweet movie ....
My Southern Family Christmas (2022)
Great Story, not typical Hallmark Christmas
I loved this story, it was not a typical Hallmark Christmas movie. It was a different kind of love story , the love of family. I loved it being set in my beautiful state of Louisiana. Nope not typical for a Christmas movie either but we do have our special traditions, and the bonfires on the levees is one that I have got to attend one of these days. My husband has a been Santa here in north Louisiana for 26 years so Christmas Eve we are always busy and can't make the trip down south. I am glad they did not try and throw fake Cajun French accents into the movie that ruins things if it ain't real don't do it. Louisiana at Christmas this year out Temps we're in the 20's but as the mayor says in the movies normally 50's and sometimes warmer. A few years ago we had flurries on Christmas and people were so excited we get snow late January early February if we get it.
