Trump by Grace (2019)
Less fun than drilling a hole into your brain
It's a vanity film made by a rich dude whining about how America was in "darkness" under Obama and how - no joke - he thinks Donald Trump is "the light and the hope".
It's a man and his family living in a massive house with a live-in nurse complaining about how he's the forgotten little guy.
He can barely remember his lines, there's no editing, there's no plot, and everything is just awful.
Do You Believe? (2015)
It was everything I expected it to be!
Poorly written, poorly acted, poorly researched, overly melodramatic, heavy-handed choir-preaching. Can't wait to see this cast again in their next Walmart ad!
Oh, and black characters as stereotypes? In a David A. R. White movie? NO WAY! Who knew?
And I had no idea that you could opt for a non-medically necessary abortion at 9 months pregnant!
Seriously, this movie is insane. I go in there and I see a movie where literally nothing supernatural happens, and it's supposed to be an argument for God. Meanwhile, believers are going in there and inferring miracles and design all throughout the whole thing.
You're writing a work of fiction and even then you can't have god do anything more miraculous than things that might very easily happen otherwise?
This movie is from the same company that did The Encounter, which has Jesus and Satan appearing to people in a diner. They're not shy about the miraculous stuff. But I guess they have to tone it down for the theatrical releases.
Pitch Black (2000)
More than meets the eye
At first glance, Pitch Black seems to be just another sci-fi horror flick. However, when you dig a little deeper, you can see that there's a lot more to this film than appears at first glance. Pitch Black is a story about humanity itself. It shows us one of the truest glances into the depths of human nature we've ever been given in popular culture: when people are pushed to their limits, there's nothing that won't do to survive, but they will *only* survive if they work together. Though the plot is a little lacking (and a bit cheesy at times), the filmography is wonderful. The cameras are used in much the same way as a master artist uses their brush - as a means to make the viewer see what was going on in their head. Pitch Black's camera styles range from jerky, blurred action shots - often shooting back and forth between the eyes of two people - to sharply-contrasted color-toned shots of the harsh desert climate. The movie is, quite simply put, beautiful. I give Pitch Black a solid ten out of ten. Not only is it one of my personal favorites, but it's an excellent film as well.
