Heaven Is For Real

   Time for another Movie Addict Review!

  Last night I went to see Heave is For Real. And if you don't know me to well, I don't cry at movies. like at all. I think in all my 18 years I've cried at maybe 2 or 3 movies. I teared up like 5 times while watching this movie. It was sweet and just so heart melting. I never did read the book (though now I want to), but I watched interviews with the kid. Watching them take what he said and make it come to life was beautiful. I felt like though they could have done a bit more with elaborating on the story, cause I'm sure there are others out there who haven't read the book yet either.
  I was told by someone who saw it before me that it was like a documentary, I have to disagree. It felt just like a normal movie to me. I didn't feel like I was watching a documentary at all.
  The child they chose to play Colton, Connor Corum, was very good. He was cute and played his part so well. Greg Kinner was also very good. He's in a lot of family like movies and it works on him. He played the father so well that I almost believed that they actually were father and son. 
  During the movie one of my favorite hymns kept coming up. The movie seemed to be based around the song "Come thou Fount". Which is a song that I just love. 
  If you have not seen this movie yet I would go and see it. It's cute and it might even bring you to tears. It's for sure a movie that all should see. Christian or not, it's a wonderful story. I hope you all go and see it. It's definitely worth it.

Captain America: The Winter Solider

Well, it's time for another movie addict review!
    So, I personally liked this one better then the first Captain. But I don't understand why they called it the winter solider. "SPOILER" The guy who played the winter solider (Sebastian Stan) really wasn't in the movie hardly at all! He just popped up when the plot needed him to.  "END OF SPOILER"
   I thought that everyone did a great job acting in this movie. I've never been a huge fan of Scarlet Johansson but I really like her as the Black Widow. During the whole movie though I was dying for the Capt and Black Widow to kiss. I mean I'm not the only one who wanted it to happen right?! Sadly though if they are actually going to follow what the comics say, the two of them will never get together.
   I loved the fact that they brought back the crazy German scientist. I wish they would've put him more in the movie because I liked him the the first one too. One thing I didn't understand though was why did they make him so sinister?  He was a shy little man in the first movie that never stuck up for himself. Then suddenly in the second one he was helping to run S.H.I.L.D while secretly bring Hydra back to life? I might understand it better if I actually read the comics but come on.
  Overall I really liked it. It did have it's flaws, but so do all movies. But next time I want more Sebastian!

Noah

   Well friends, I just finished watching Noah. And I have to say I loved it. Darren Aronofsky did a wonderful job. And the actors were awesome.
   For the past week or so I've been reading reviews about the movie Noah. And most of them were christian reviews. For some reason a lot of christians hated it and they're tell other people to not see it. People should see it weather christian or not. It may not be exact to the bible story, but to tell the truth, what movie about the bible really is? Each christian movie has it's flaws of truth. The way the writers interpreted the story of Noah was how they saw parts of it.
   It was interesting to me to see how others saw the story of Noah. It wasn't how I imagined it growing up but everyone I think sees it a different way. I believe that parts were different because they wanted everyone to enjoy it. Not just christians. And yet it seems that christians are the only ones not enjoying it and I can't seem to understand why. I'm a christian and I loved it. It made me think about the story I had been told and had read over the years. And it made me want to read it again and see what parts of the bible story they did use.
   I was watching an interview that someone had with a few of the actors a couple of days ago and I found it very interesting. The actors talked about how they read the actual story from the bible and how after that some of them wanted to read more. Shouldn't christians be encouraging something like that? The movie makes people want to see where the story came from. It's kind of like when the Harry Potter series came out and the people how hadn't read the books yet wanted to read them to see what the movies were based off of.
   It may not be completely actuate, but at least it's based off a true story. Just like a lot of other movies. Lots of movies are based off true stories and are somewhat changed. It just happens.
   While watching the movie though during the dramatic areas with the dramatic music, I felt like I was watching the movie "Knowing". It had the same kind of music which sometimes made me forget what movie I was watching in my head.
   Overall I was impressed. After all the ragging I had read about it I was expecting less. But It kept my attention and kept me interested. Did you guys know that Darren Aronofsky also directed "The Black Swan"? He also doesn't have a religion. He says, "I'm not really psyched about organized religion. What interests me is that there is a spiritual truth that connects all religions". So I think he did a wonderful job with the movie.
   I would go to see it again if I could. I think everyone should see it. It's a fabulously done movie and it's worth a watch. I truly think that lots of people would love it no matter what religion they are.
  I'm sorry if I ragged on a bit. I hope you all get to see it at some point. Cause it's totally worth it.
