Must-See

There are several movies coming out this year/next year that I'm particularly excited about.

If you don't know already - I'm a huge fan of quality, Christian movies, and whenever they come out, I give them as much support as I can, and there are a LOT of good movies coming out this year.

Coming up first (although not explicitly Christian) is the one and only The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader



While I'm not positive on how well this is going to follow the book, (the closer we get to the release, the more nervous us Narnia-fans get) I am positive it will be a fairly decent movie. Plus, I am just SO. EXCITED. for it to come out!!!!!! December 10th, everyone.

Next up is Courageous, from the Sherwood Pictures, the people who made Facing the Giants and Fireproof, some of my favorite movies. They don't have a trailer that I can find, but here's where the Alex and Stephen Kendrick explain what it's about.



I'm really excited about this, because Sherwood Pictures have a great reputation and have made some really amazing movies that have inspired and encouraged me. I'm not terribly overly obsessed with it because it's looking slightly like Fireproof in that it's really targeted at adults and not really for the younger generation. However, I have no doubt that there will be something in it for everyone, even if it's targeted towards adults. It's coming out in 2011...not quite sure when.

Next is Rogue Saints



I don't know a whole lot about this movie, because the descriptions on the site aren't all that detailed, and I've never heard of these people before. But I personally know quite a few people who have worked on this movie, and the basic storyline is a Christian one. It makes me really excited to see more and more movie makers coming out with Christian movies - because our culture so badly needs it!

I heard about What If on the radio, so I checked it out. I'm excited for the message this movie is sharing, and especially that it's showing in theaters. The general feel I get from the trailer is that it's not the greatest movie ever, but I've never seen it, so I could be wrong.



And Upside.
The plot is almost exactly the same as What If, but it's got a hilariously original twist and looks like it is much better written. I don't think it was ever in theaters, but it's coming out on dvd soon, and I'm super excited for it.



Lastly, and one that gets me the most eager to support, is from HeuMoore Productions, who made The Widow's Might. These people really inspire me, because they started out as just a homeschooling family making amateur films, just like us (Snowtop Studios), and they've grown so much in just a few years. The Widow's Might beat Fireproof at the SAICFF (San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival), and it's an amazing film. (So's Fireproof, but just saying.)

Their next movie is set to release in Summer 2011 (like Courageous), and I'm SO excited for it. It looks really exciting and very promising.



Gator Moore (who plays that little detective guy) is such a fun actor.... hee. And I'm just super excited not only for this movie, but for this company: God can use them to do huge things, and I'm so excited to see what He will do with this movie.
