Movie Review: The Hill plus $10 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway

The Hill is an inspiring movie based on an incredible true-life story of Rickey Hill, a baseball phenomenon. His unlikely journey to play Major League Baseball is filled with health obstacles and opposition from his own father. As a young boy from a poor family in Texas who struggles with a degenerative spinal disease, Rickey loves playing baseball and does not let his leg braces stop him from pursuing his passion. God blesses Rickey with two special gifts: an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball and an extraordinary ability to comprehend and memorize the Scriptures. Due to the desire to protect Rickey (played by Colin Ford) from injury, his father, Pastor James Hill (played by Dennis Quaid) discourages the former while encouraging the latter. However, Rickey never gives up his dream of playing professional baseball, in spite of having to overcome one challenge after another. He displays faith and determination that defy the odds, intending to live his life with no regrets. 

The Hill (rated PG) is an enjoyable family film that I highly recommend to everyone, especially baseball fans. It is a beautiful & impactful story of courage, tenacity, perseverance, faith, and miracles. I encourage you to take your family to see this hope-filled movie in theaters starting 8/25. You can buy tickets today here.

    Biggest obstacle I’ve had in my life is my illness that I’m currently trying to overcome!

    I believe the only Dennis Quaid movie I’ve seen is the Parent Trap!

    My favorite Dennis Quaid film is The Day After Tomorrow. I watched that in my science class as a seventh grader.

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
