Movie Review: More movies of this type should be on the big screen
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watch this movie for the first time last week. My wife and I wanted to go to see it in the theater, but it just didn't seem to work out. When I did see it, I was glad that it was on the big screen, and not a direct to DVD Version. The point of this movie is not to wow you with great acting or action, it is to give a great message about salvation and marriage. Those two go hand in hand. True love / marriage will not work out without God in your life. He is the center of this movie, and it is why is was a great movie. For those of you who didn't like it because of the Christian message, I say to you, than don't watch. It never hid the fact that it was a Christian movie. What is so wrong with having a great Christian movie on the big screen anyway, when you have all this nasty movies on screen as well. Its about time we have something with a message in the movies that makes it to the big screen like "Left Behind" did. I only hope that more Christain movies make it to the big screen. If you are not a true Christian, and still want to watch this movie as I really encourage you, than do so with an open mind, and pay attention to the message. God will touch your heart with this movie as He did with me. If my wife and I were not Christians, our marriage would have failed in the first year. Because of the Lord Jesus, we keep on working to keep our marriage a loving environment. Marriage is never easy, and without God, it is impossible.Movie Review: Spiritual Transformation
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are contemplating divorce or if your marriage is in trouble I can't think of a better movie to watch that promotes a strong marriage. After reviewing "The Love Dare" I was eager to see FIREPROOF and was not disappointed, in fact I was riveted. For almost the entire movie I was close to tears because the story was so compelling and beautiful. How often do you see people really fighting for their marriage against all odds?
This movie also has some good humor in places but the overall message is quite serious. Kirk Cameron was excellent in the role of Caleb and Erin Bethea is perfect as the neglected wife Catherine. I loved watching Caleb struggle to win back his wife after she declares she wants a divorce. Even though he decides to do the right thing (fight for his marriage) he is still rejected most of the time. Since I'm a Christian I didn't mind the fact that this had a spiritual theme to it. In fact I loved how this movie showed how a relationship with Jesus could help to solve some of life's more complex problems.
To be quite honest this was one of the best movies I've seen this year and I watch a lot of movies that I never review. This movie would make an excellent gift (along with The Love Dare) for anyone who is considering divorce.

Movie Review: Fabo film!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this off Netflix and had it laying around when my parents came for the day. Dad read the description and asked if I'd seen it yet that it sounded good. I let them take it and watched it later. They loved it! Said the message was great and it was, overall a wonderful film. I watched it and concurred. I'm single and got a lot out of it; loved it. It shows how digging in your heels and just having faith can make a difference.
Yes, the film wasn't made like a Hollywood movie. All the people on this project were volunteers from the local Baptist church. It was done out of love and a wanting to help people see the truth. NOT for the typical hollywood bottom line: money. This film's bottom line was understanding, emotion, love, selflesness, faith, not excluding God from your life, friendship, and putting forth the effort to make marriage work; not just sit back and live a life of self-entitlement, and selfishness, like so many people in our culture.
All in all, this film wasn't superbly acted, wasn't the multi-million dollar California movie. BUT, the message far outweighs the slight differences.
The film had many humorous parts that had me laughing out loud and wanting to watch it over again.
Please, watch this film. It's wonderful. Also, watch the extras, the 60 seconds of fireproof are a hoot!
Movie Review: What a Wonderful Find!
Summary: 5 Stars
I walked into the local video store and they had a used 5 for $20 DVD sale. Could not pass this up so I looked them over getting mostly action titles. But I saw the striking cover to Fireproof and the sub title, You never leave your partner behind. Never heard of this movie in theaters but decided to take a chance. Got around to watching it las night and WOW was I moved. A realistic story that low and behold was extremely entertaining and had an uplifting yet subtle message that moved me to thank heaven that some creative inspirational movies STILL exist. I explored the directors commentary and it explained how and why THEY were moved to make it. For a low budget move it is done very professionally actually using real church members in some scenes. This movie DOES NOT preach! It presents a very real scenario that even as a single person or ANY person, of any age, will find very uplifting and unique from some of the movies that pass for entertainment today. One walks away a richer person after discovering this gem. I only hope that the director and film company make more of these. A car chase is a car chase, forgotten next week, but every once in a while someone guides you to some thing of true human drama with answers based on hope and love. Please get this movie and support these film makers! They are to be commended and are on to a very good thing.Movie Review: We Love only because He Loved Us
Summary: 5 Stars
Can Christians make good movies? Thus goes the debate. This movie certainly does hit some of the movie themes, i.e. love, romance, suspence, temptation, lives changing, etc., but avoids many of the rest: violence, sex, murder. One's worldview will certainly dominate and color one's reaction and response to this fine effort to address marriage.
Bonus Features are nice with this DVD: especially enjoyed the story in "Behind Scenes" supplier of fork lift on train scene as well as "Wayne on Wayne."
God started marriage between man and woman. He further prescribed that this marriage would revolve around their relationship with Him, Ephesians 5:21. From this marriage moves together in beautiful picture of Christ and His church and the married couple are to live this relational picture out as husband and wife, each playing different parts and roles. In this film, the human nature to take marriage in other, sinful, self-centered directions is wonderfully depicted. Christ enters the picture as the reconciler that He is, and puts the marriage back on Ephesians 5 tracks. Interested couples will want to check out Peter Kurkowski's book: Lifelines of Love.
Aid to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Do not let your heart be hardened. It is all about being invited to the wedding feast, Matthew 22:1-13.
