The Chosen (2017)
One of the best Jesus flux I've seen
I saw the pilot and was very impressed by it, and the first episodes did not disappoint in bringing more high quality content.
This is seriously some of the best content on Christ that I've seen, I especially enjoy the context of viewing the coming of the messiah from the common people
I Can Only Imagine (2018)
Thumbs up, glad I watched
I had heard this song before but was not sure when, decided to watch with the family one day and was not disappointed.
The story itself does have a religious message with it, but that is not a bad thing, it was very much a part of this persons story and led the his inspiration for a song that became a hit even outside religious circles.
Whether you have a religious background or not, most will enjoy this movie and feel for the struggle of someone that has the weight of abuse handing over their head and finds a way out from under it.
Spirit of the Game (2016)
Love the story line, basketball could have been better
Fantastic story, I am a Mormon and lived right by Preston Idaho and I had never heard this story, so glad it was told.
I do wish they would have used some better basketball playing, would have made it even more enjoyable.
The Cokeville Miracle (2015)
The tale of two ratings
I finished watching this movie and was surprised on how it could only get a 5/10, although the acting was lacking, the story was compelling especially being based on actual events.
Reading through the reviews it seems that this truly is a tale of two view points. If you like a fact based movie, or can relate to a religious minded community, or even if you are not religious but can see how a religious community would take this event as faith building, you will love this movie.
The other half of the reviews that give this a 1 are mainly summed up thus. You either hate religion in general and are offended that a religious community would give credence to their God for what they plainly see as a miracle, or you are of the other spectrum, you claim to be a religious person but are bigoted towards religions that are not yours.
This was a faith based community that obviously sees this experience as a miracle from God, it does not attack other faiths, if this was a Muslim community it would be praise to Allah, not sure why you want to change the facts to make everyone happy.
