The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry

2/5 Stars

Christian film trying to compete in Hollywood. Just didn't cut it for me. The acting and writing were both extremely lacking. The film did have great moral moments and high values. It makes you think a little about how you, as a Christian, are impacting the people around you. I love what the film was trying to do, it just failed at doing it beautifully. Great themes and intentions, not so great delivery.

Acting: Almost unbearable
Writing: Juvenile
Cinematography: Manageable
Story Line: Great!

See it, might make you think.

Inception

Don't you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone!

5/5 Stars

Didn't want to see this film, but so glad that I was talked into it! The approach to the concept of dreams and the implementation of it blew me away. Of course, we all could talk about this for hours after watching it, so I will make this brief. I feel as though soo much thought and creativity went into making this a success. It is definitely original and striking. This film keeps you engaged and passionate the entire time. I would love to see it again in order to understand it better. It encapsulates this unknown world we all share called dreams.

Acting: Excellent
Writing: Phenomenal
Cinematography: Are you kidding!? Exceptional.
Story Line: Intriguing

See it, at least twice.
