Summer School (1987)

great film

[9/10 · 15 February 2009]

This is really an example of how a romantic comedy should be and how fantastic a romantic comedy can be. Intelligent, witty and great fun. It gives its audience respect by delivering a clever story with good actors and great lines.

The story is quite absurd and so is the duo in it - Mark Harmon and the gals. But this is just a good thing. Hollywood usually thinks its audience is filled with morons when making romantic comedies, but this is not so. There are still a few of us out here who enjoy the combination of intelligence, elegance and romance. This film delivers on all counts.

Love is a simple enough ingredient for a film. This film knows how to use it and the result is wonderful.

Chariots of Fire (1981)

Legendary Film is the best out there

Wonderful film.

I recommend this film wholeheartedly. It touched my heart like no other film. We need to see more powerful films of men who stand up for Jesus Christ.

Your appreciation of this movie will be directly related to your own interest in matters of faith. Those of Christian faith (such as myself) and those with an interest in Christian faith will appreciate the values contained here; those who are antagonistic to Christian faith will find the evangelistic emphasis of the movie distasteful. Of course, my question would be why anyone antagonistic to an evangelical Christian message would watch a movie that presents the gospel in a true light. It was produced by David Putnam, who was wrongly portrayed in a book.

The relationship between the two runners, Ian and Ben Cross, grows as they train and then race together.

Gone (2002)

Good Film

[9/10 · 29 June 2003]

Good film - we need the message of the Lord returning in all movies - it's that important. Good acting, good special effects, great location. Even better ending. The one thing that could be improved is the sound. There was one or two scenes where the lips were out of sync. But this is ticky-tack compared to the overall message. Loved the Bible verse at the end: 'If we seek Him, we will find Him, if we seek Him with all of our hearts'. How true.
