Bestseller Turns To The Movies

While at the top of his gain at the Chicago Tribune, his young daughter nearly dies if not for the kindness of a stranger, but now Lee Strobel is questioning everything when his wife suddenly becomes a Christian.  Afraid of what will happen to his family, Strobel decides to investigate one of the founding claims of Christianity, the resurrection, but will he be able to disprove or will the facts hold solid for what he feels in his heart.

At an hour and fifty-two minutes, The Case For Christ will take you on the archeological journey with Lee Strobel, played by Mike Vogel, as his wife, Leslie, played by Erika Christensen, patiently waits and prays for her husband to change his heart and mind.  It’s by far one of the best investigative religious movies.  It gives the facts and lets those tell you what to believe, but ultimately the choice is yours.

The Pureflex film also stars Faye Dunaway as one of the professionals that Strobel interviews as well as L. Scott Caldwell as Alfie, the woman who starts the dominoes falling by saving Stobel’s daughter.

The Case for Christ came out in theaters, April 7 and has thus far risen over 5 million to date at the box office.  It’s the perfect movie to watch over the Easter weekend.

“Resurrection” Reaches Audiences

It’s the classic story about a child star who hits rock bottom when Gavin Stone, played by ‘ABC’s Agent of Shield’s’ Brett Dalton, is given a second chance through community service at a local church in his childhood home.  Though clearly not a Christian, Dalton accepts and takes on the task of manual labor until a meeting with the pastor’s daughter, Kelly Richardson, (played Anjelah Johnson- Reyes) leads Dalton to audition and take up the charade of ‘Christian’ in order to land the part of Jesus Christ.

But will Dalton be able to successfully pull of such a powerful part without letting Kelly know that it is all an act especially when his two hundred hours of community service are up prior to show time?

At roughly an hour and thirty-five minutes, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone is a feel good movie about the power of faith that can change anyone’s life and make them actually want to live a better life.  Overall, it’s a movie unlike any other Easter story with a bit of good tasting comedy at the heart of what truly matters.  People will be laughing, crying and cheering what is said to be ‘the greatest story of all time’.

The Resurrection of Gavin Stone came out January 19, 2017 and has thus earned roughly over one point five million domestically.  It’s currently playing at a theater near you.
