The Gospel

This is an awesome short film by the Ludy's ministry that I just watched today! It presents the gospel in a very true and real and passionate way. Please do not only take the time to watch it, but to ponder the gospel message afresh. I found such joy in watching this! It was spiritually riveting to look at the truth of God's real, unending, undying love in a new light. I found it very applicable right now in regards to celebrating the resurrection of our Lord. 

May you, my reader, be blessed!

P.S. You can turn off my music list on the bottom of this page in order to hear the video. 

*Ace Wonder*

Ace Wonder is a soon to be movie, coming out this summer. It is the adventure filled story of a dead grandfather, his son, and his grandson. And did I mention Gator, the aspiring young detective? (or Ace, as he prefers to be called) He seeks to help the grandson, Derek, solve a mystery that his grandfather left him. In the meantime there is a dangerous thief who seeks the treasure that the grandfather left behind. Altogether, the film is a story of redemption between a grandfather, a father, and a son.


I had the opportunity to see a pre-screening of this film and critique it (which, did I mention, is so much FUN!!?!) I had no idea I enjoyed being a critical person. ;) So I will share my very critical thoughts about this movie.


1. Gator does not look like a ten-year-old. He really feels like 12 to me. I also love how witty his character is.
2. Derek might need a haircut ;)
3. Several scenes have a lack of emotion and depth, including the scene of Derek's family at the dinner table and the scene where the fathers talk late at night.
4. Gator's siblings need to change clothes on day #2, and they need to do more when in the background to give a realistic "not-staged" impression to this film.
5. There is a part where the motor home breaks down and the camera lingers on the keys, this confused me as the next scene was of Derek, Gator, and Gator's father fist-fighting with a bum. I thought the bum would steal the motor home.
6. There are some glowing trees and they added an odd "sci-fi" feeling toward the end of the film.
7. I figured out who the villain was almost immediately, which is not fun for me because it make the rest of the film easy to figure out.
8. All the comic strip scenes were great! Those will do very well with some dramatic music to go along with.
9. The redemptive value to this film is easy to find, but not "pushy" and I feel that it won't make viewers dislike the film at all.
10. I got mixed up as to how many siblings Gator had. 


Overall it was really good for a pre-screening, and I had a good feeling about it throughout the film! I heartily enjoyed it and now I know that I might like to be a movie critic when I'm not too busy. ;)
