The Printing

Brookie's Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

*****

     The Printing is a movie made by Bob Jones University in 1990. The movie takes place in Soviet Russia, when the KGB enforced measures in everything. Including christian life. They controlled the churches and decided what parts of the bible were allowed to be read in public. Bibles were a rare treasure and many russian christians did not own one. In secret, christians began printing bibles. However, printing bibles was a threat to the KGB's regin. This movie is based on a true story of the presecution russian christians went through.
     I highly recommed every christian to watch this. There is some violence and someone dies but it is nothning graphic so I think ages eight and older could watch this. The gospel is shared so if you have any unsaved friends or family members this would be a good movie to watch with them. This movie reminded me that in America, we are blessed to have bibles and have the freedom to worship God. Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted in other countries.

A Perfect Day

Brookie's Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

*****

     This movie was fantastic! Although a little slow at some parts, A Perfect Day is a reminder that family is more important than success and money. The movie is about a family man, when after he loses his job, publishes his first novel. The book suddenly becomes a huge success and the author quickly becomes entranced with fame and fortune. His wife and daughter are pushed aside and all seems lost for the man until a "stranger" tells him he will die the day after Christmas. 
     Young children may find this movie boring, like my 10 year old cousin who was playing on her laptop the whole time. There is adult themes, like losing a loved one and a woman trying to entice a married man. But besides that this movie is worth watching! (And you can find the movie on netflix).

Have a blessed day and always be careful of what you watch!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Brookie's Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

****

    This movie would have had a perfect score if not for the crude humor and a few sexual innuendos. Overall, the movie is one of my favorites. In a positive light, the grinch realizes that Christmas is more than just about presents, good food, and games. However, like many Christmas movies made by Hollywood, the movie says it is all about love and being together. Yes, that is part of what Christmas is about, but Christmas is really all about celebrating the maginficent birth of Jesus Christ into the world in order to save sinful man. 

    The crude humor is mostly just the grinch's dirty environment. The grinch loves stinky things and lives right next to the Who dump. He rides the dump back from his dwelling to the village. He eats glass, has termites in his teeth, eats onions, and does many other things that are repulsive. The sexual innuendo revolve around one character who wears low cut tops and short dresses. The grinch at one point falls on such character. I myself would not recommend young children ages 8 or younger to watch this film unless with adult permission and supervision. 

PS: Unless I get any feedback, I'll just review a movie once a month or maybe just once every two. Thank you for reading my blog and may you have a blessed day!
