2 Hearts review

 

For two couples the future unfolds in different decades and different places, but a hidden connection will bring them together in a way no one could have predicted.

Directed by Lance Hool, the stars of the movie are Jacob Elordi, Tiera Skovbye, Radha Mitchell, and Adan Canto, Two Hearts tells an incredible, life-affirming story of the generosity of one young man whose gift of life continues to impact more lives daily. The film is about the lives of Leslie (Mitchell) and Jorge Bacardi (Canto) and Christopher Gregory (Elordi), and partially based on the book written by Gregory's father and the screenplay by Veronica Hool and Robin U. Russin. 2 HEARTS is a romantic journey that celebrates life, love and generosity of spirit, and will strengthen our belief that miracles still happen.

 

The beginnings of their love stories begin in different decades for 2 couples but their lives intersect in a way no one imagines. Chris is a young fun-loving college student who loves sports, pranks, and his new girlfriend, Sam. His future looks bright... as he searches for his purpose. 

Jorge is part of a world famous company whose family immigrated to the US during the Cuban crisis. He has a life-long medical condition and was not expected to live past childhood. His continued survival has given him a deep appreciation for life. His instant attraction to a flight attendant on a business trip brings a love he never expected to experience.

Their lives should have never intersected, but when tragedy struck, a generous gesture by Chris brought the families together, always to be intertwined.

My Review: It's a good film. There is romance, tragedy, comedy, miracles, and hope. Jumping back and forth between the decades was a bit confusing for me in the beginning but I quickly caught on and became immersed in the stories. It was easy to fall in love with the main four characters while watching each couple fall in love with each other. While presented with a "based on true events and actual people" stance, I wanted to know more about the real people and circumstances.

My interest in reality, though, is my main criticism of the film. Being a person who doesn't care about spoilers and loves to research the background of non-fictional characters in movies and books, I had some, "that didn't happen" moments. So, those parts may only be problematic for people like me. BUT... the overall message of the movie is a great one and I am glad I saw the film.

The Order of Rights

The Order of Rights is a pro-life film. The story centers around Emma Stein, a pregnant single girl who has been advised by her mother to have an abortion. Despite the objection of the child’s father, Ethan Carpenter, and his promise to help her, she decides to go ahead with the procedure. When Ethan and his family file a lawsuit on behalf of the child’s right to life, the drama escalates as Emma’s mother, Kerri, contacts a friend in the Associated Press. Before long, the case is mired in media frenzy. The court has to decide whether the child in Emma’s womb is a person or not, and if so, if it is endowed with the unalienable rights as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. The title, “Order of Rights” refers to the order in which the categories of rights are deliberately listed in the document: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. (website)

My Review: The film started a bit slow, but built to a compelling story that kept my attention. Both sides were presented, and no graphic images were used that could be upsetting to viewers. Not ALL aspects & arguments of either side of the issue were presented, yet this makes "The Order of Rights" perfect as a door opener to conversation. I am a huge fan of films that make me think and this is a movie I can add to that list.

I only rented the film to view but this is definitely going to be a movie I will purchase on DVD for my personal library, and most likely another copy for my church library. I highly recommend it to all, no matter what your personal view is because we need to start listening to each other instead of having closed minds. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Congratulations to the cast and crew!

Before the Wrath - review

Bible scholars continue to debate the timing of the Rapture, but why is such a mysterious event prophesied to happen in the first place? Is there a deeper understanding surrounding this occurrence that we've lost over the millennia that those living in the first-century clearly understood? Newly rediscovered ancient anthropological evidence from the time of Christ finally reveals unprecedented findings that could prove the upcoming Rapture is not only real to a skeptical world but sheds new light on how and why this event must take place. Regardless of your Tribulation Period views, "Before the Wrath" will captivate believers and non-believers alike; revealing new depths of theological understanding regarding what Jesus revealed to the ancient Galileans about the end of the world in ways you could never have imagined. 

While everyone has been debating "when" this event is to happen, we've forgotten to ask "why" it does, and the answer could be the greatest theological discovery of our time. To fully present the impact this genuine eye-opening discovery has on the world, award-winning documentary writer and director Brent Miller Jr reproduces what Jesus Christ Himself unveiled to the ancient Galileans regarding the end of the world through emotional and beautiful cinematic reenactments with over 60 actors and extras on a Hollywood set. - beforethewrath.com

My Review: This is an intriguing documentary by Ingenuity Films that combines featured experts (Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Jan Markell, JD Farag, Scott McConnell, Jay McCarl, and Lizette Dillinger) explaining how a Galilean wedding demonstrates the Church being the Bride of Christ and the Rapture is Christ coming for His bride along with actors to play out the entire wedding from the betrothal to the wedding itself. Those familiar with the Bible will recognize parables and stories that come even more alive with this added knowledge. This all comes together with narration by actor Kevin Sorbo.
 

Fans of Timothy Mahoney's Patterns of Evidence documentaries will enjoy Before the Wrath, as will anyone interested in Biblical history, prophecy, or those curious about the Rapture. I was fascinated by the film and am happy to have it as part of my personal DVD library. Others agree! It was the #1-selling documentary DVD on Amazon for three straight months, #4-selling film in America during a time in April (behind JUMANJI, 1917, and FROZEN 2), and the #1-selling film on Christian Cinema... and nominated for multiple film awards including best documentary and cinematography. You can buy or rent Before the Wrath on their website or at your favorite retailers for DVD, Blu-Ray, or Digital, including Amazon Prime, Amazon, Walmart, and Christian Cinema.

Robert Amaya Rounds Out Cast of "The Farmer & the Belle: Saving Santaland"

Robert Amaya (Courageous, Moms' Night Out) will be playing the memorable character, Vinnie Scavo, a hilarious NYC agent, who appears throughout this family, Christmas comedy movie, The Farmer and The Belle: Saving Santaland. Scheduled for release this Christmas season.

Amaya is a dedicated family man from Miami with a love of film and musicals who first won audiences' hearts as the funny, yet endearing, Javier the "Snake King" in Sherwood Picture's, Courageous. He has since become a family favorite in many uplifting films including Mom's Night Out. The producing partners for The Farmer and The Belle franchise, Gotzon, Chandler and Joel Bunkowske are thrilled to have Amaya's comedic genius round out their film. NYC based casting director, Stephen DeAngelis, shares in the delight.

The Farmer and The Belle: Saving Santaland provides a pathway for moms, daughters, and grandmothers to discover inner beauty. The story is about a NYC model who spends the holidays in a small town. She falls in love with her childhood pen pal, a pig farmer, and helps save his hometown's Santaland learning true beauty comes from the heart, not just a pretty face.
This 87min picture directed by award-winning filmmaker Wes Llewellyn stars Jenn Gotzon (My Daddy's in Heaven), Jim E. Chandler (Lodge 49), John Schneider (Duke's of Hazzard), Corbin Bernsen (Major League), Natasha Bure (Home Sweet Home), Sandra Lafferty (Hunger Games), Roxzane Mims (Greenleaf), radio personality Delilah, Christian pop artist Beckah Shae, stand-up comedian Henry Cho and more.

"Given that this story is based on true events adds to the movie's appeal... The Farmer and The Belle: Saving Santaland has a very strong Christian, biblical worldview with an emphasis on finding one's worth from the truth of God rather than the world's low standard." - Movieguide.

Distributed by Vision Films, Lise Romanoff is in talks with several broadcasters for this audience charmer. Contact lise@visionfilms.net for inquiries.

The Farmer and The Belle franchise has created three products incorporated into the movie's storyline. They include the five-charm biblically inscribed #Beauty Bracelet (in talks with major home shopping channel) accompanied by its devotional book, Divine Beauty: Becoming Beautiful based on God's Truth written by Michelle Cox (devotional series for Hallmark's When Calls the Heart) and Gotzon. The children's storybook, Beautiful Mable is written by VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki. All products focus on discovering inner beauty.
