It has been 62 years since Ben-Hur graced the silver screen and went on to win an astonishing 11 Oscars, a new record for the time. This epic masterpiece was joined by West Side Story just two years later in the 11 win circle, and together the pair ruled the cinema universe until 1997 when … More Ben-Hur (1959)
It is no secret that I have seen some terrible movies in my time. The Encounter: Paradise Lost is the latest entry on that list. As mentioned in a previous review, I enjoyed The Encounter series, which came out four years after this film’s release. Now looking back, it is simply amazing that the series … More The Encounter: Paradise Lost (2012)
In a growing trend in the film industry, a TV show would be the byproduct of a movie. This film came out in 2010, about six years before the show was launched on various streaming platforms. I was first introduced to the show on PureFlix and watched the two seasons before venturing back in time … More The Encounter (2010)
The Kendrick Brothers have one of the biggest production companies in the Christian film community. They first entered the scene with Flywheel (which I haven’t seen yet), and then they hit the gridiron with Facing the Giants. This dramatic faith-based movie is most likely famous for one particular scene. If you look up motivational videos … More Facing the Giants (2006)
We don’t usually review TV shows or mini-series here, but had to bend the rules for our favourite actress, Rebecca Ferguson. Before Mrs. Ferguson became Ilsa in Mission Impossible or Jenny Lind in The Greatest Showman, she was Dinah, the only daughter of Jacob, born in The Red Tent. She broke my heart in this … More The Red Tent (2014)
I’ve sat around for a day now, trying to find the right words to describe what I felt about Milltown Pride. It featured an old school ball, set in the late 1920s during the prohibition period. There were so many references to iconic players of the day, like Babe Ruth and Shoeless Joe Jackson. I … More Milltown Pride (2011)
At this point of the month, I am running out of baseball movies to watch on PureFlix. Today’s selection was Every Boy Needs a Hero. To be quite honest, I was somewhat disengaged with this movie, then the final game pushed me over the edge with anger. If you understand anything about baseball, you know … More Every Boy Needs a Hero (2015)
Have you ever been duped into watching a movie under false pretenses? Gibsonburg was that kind of movie. It may be classified as a sports movie and have baseball in it, but let me just be frank with you all, this was hardly a baseball movie. Instead, this was a rather dull movie about dumb … More Gibsonburg (2013)
We are always on the lookout for the latest baseball movie release. Full Count came out in 2019 and immediately went on our watchlist. Sadly it took almost a year to watch this movie, which turned out to be phenomenal. It has been a full day since the movie ended, and I still can’t stop … More Full Count (2019)
It is no secret at this point that I will watch just about any baseball movie. One Hit from Home came out eight years ago, and I was totally left in the dark about it. Lucky for me, Pure Flix recently added this film to its library and I couldn’t wait to watch it. Without … More One Hit from Home (2012)
