Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     Director Harold Cronk and writers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon return to helm God’s Not Dead 2 (2016) which follows a Grace Wesley (Melissa Joan Hart – Melissa & Joey) a high school history teacher who comes under fire for answering a student’s (Hayley Orrantia – The Goldbergs) question regarding Jesus. She is forced to stand trial in order to save her career after. When she refuses to apologize for her faith, the school board suspends and threatens to revoke her teaching certificate. Abandoned by her ‘friends’ and accused of trying to convert her students, Grace is forced to stand trial to not only save her career but to also defend her faith. Her lawyer Tom Endler (Jesse Metcalfe – Escape Plan 2: Hades) devises a powerful strategy to prove to the court the historical significance of Grace’s classroom discussion. God’s Not Dead (2014) was thought-provoking and inspiring, and God’s Not Dead 2 (2016) is even more so.

Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     God’s Not Dead (2014) is a wonderfully enlightening and solid Christian film that I believe everyone should watch. The film follows an intellectual debate between Professor Radisson (Kevin Sorbo) and Josh  Wheaton (Shane Harper) on the existence of God and in turn the creation of the universe. Surprisingly the philosophy class who are considered to be atheists or at the very least agnostic are depicted in a positive light. At first, they stick to the status quo and believe that Josh is insane and should be focusing his time on “more important things.” And yet despite their lack of faith, they continue to have open minds throughout the debate. They listen to the high and mighty Professor Radisson as well as the proverbial lamb to slaughter Josh and determine for themselves what they will believe instead of letting someone else decide.

Hello, Movie Buffs!

    Directed by Paul Feig (Ghostbusters: Answer the Call), written by Jessica Sharzer (Star and Nerve), and based on the novel by Darcey Bell, A Simple Favor (2018) is a dark comedy, psycho thriller, and mystery. The film follows Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick), a passive-aggressive single mom who does Mommy DIY/hacks Vlogs, and Emily Townsend (Blake Lively), a how powered executive with more secrets then one can count. The two meet while picking their kids up from school and after an unexpected play-date between their kids, an unlikely “friendship” forms. Stephanie desperately wants to become her friend, while Emily introduces her to strong Martinis and convinces Steph to reveal some of her darkest secrets. Emily occasionally asks Stephanie to pick up her son from school but one day Emily completely vanishes. No calls, no texts, nothing. Stephanie and Emily’s husband Sean (Henry Golding ) try to uncover the mystery behind Emily’s disappearance, while also forming a bond of their own. As the story evolves strange things start to emerge, and when you think you’ve figured it all out a new plot twist emerges. And the trailer in no way prepares you for the film but what you get is an entertaining thriller.
