“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.

“Miracles” Battle For Number One

The Faith-based True Story about a family’s love and dedication to one another especially when tragedy strikes is bringing movie goers to tears in “Miracles From Heaven“.

The film stars Jennifer Garner, who plays Christy Beam, the mother with the undying will to help her little girl, Anna (Kylie Rogers), who is diagnosed with a rare life-threatening digestive disorder.  Overall, Garner’s portrayal and acting sends chills down one’s spine as she acts brilliantly as a mother whose faith is tested at all times.  It is a test of true faith that ultimately leads to the climatic miracle that changes everything and leaves the audience feeling a sense of humbleness and strength even in the tiniest of miracles.

Miracles From Heaven also stars Queen Latifah, who plays a waitress in Boston that “Christy” and “Anna” first meet on their spontaneous trip to the children’s hospital and offers comfort and fun in the mix of the race for a cure.

Inspired by the real family from Texas, Miracles From Heaven is a feel good movie for the whole family that will hopefully empower people to live each day for what it is and appreciate everything one has.

The faith-based movie came out March 18 and thus far has reached 7.7 million in its first two days at the box office.  It is currently playing in a theater near you.  See it this week or Easter weekend and experience the “Miracle” in front of you.
