Film Review and Giveaway: When We Last Spoke

 

When We Last Spoke is an award-winning, heartwarming film about family and forgiveness, based on the novel by Marci Henna. The film won five awards (Best Picture, Best Narrative, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, and Best Actor) at the ICVM (International Christian Visual Media) Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention! When We Last Spoke is a story of two sisters, Juliet and Evangeline who are raised up by their paternal grandparents, Walt and Ruby Cranbournes. The film goes back and forth between their childhood (1960's) spent with their loving & caring grandparents and their adulthood (30 years later) when they are estranged because one blames the other for keeping a secret but a situation arises that causes them to reunite. The two girls' performance is fantastic. They have good chemistry. Melissa Gilbert (as Ruby) and Corbin Bernsen (as Walt) also play off each other well as a couple. They face a challenge of not only raising their two granddaughters but also taking care of Walt's difficult mother (played by Cloris Leachman) who has dementia. Family relationship is not always easy; sometimes feelings get hurt even if unintentionally. Grace and forgiveness are certainly needed. Through it all, love and kindness hold the Cranbourne family together. I enjoyed the film and even got teary-eyed. It is a touching and entertaining movie for the whole family. The soundtracks are great; some will make you want to dance along. And if you love vintage cars, you will drool. You can watch it on Amazon Prime or visit here to find all the ways to view this wonderful movie. It's now available on demand and on DVD.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
