Movies

Posted in Christian Life

I wanted to share the movie review website that we use. I think the WEBSITE does more than just movie reviews but I've never explored the rest of the site yet. We really don't watch that many movies anymore...just a select few but we have found this website extremely helpful in deciding whether or not a movie is clean or not. It gives you a rating from extremely offensive to excellent. Then it expounds on the movie telling you why it is good or bad and has a place at the bottom for viewers of the movie to comment.

My husband and I have just been so disappointed in the movies available and wanted to share this site so you could be more informed before you go to the cinema. We try to think "Would we watch this if Jesus was sitting next to us". Seriously, it sounds cliche, but friends He IS sitting next to us watching what we are watching. So we better act like it, Amen?

I'm preaching to myself here too! I've struggled with the fact that we refrain from many many shows and movies because they are distasteful while I still want to watch a soap opera which in my opinion, is just as bad. So, today I am declaring that I will refrain from soaps completely. I have tried before in the past and fell off the wagon. But now you know. The secret's out. I can't let you down too.

My husband said a while back that if we while we sat watching a show we had a checklist of the Ten Commandments and every time they broke one...we checked it off. I would imagine almost every show we watched would have been full of sin, not to mention the commercials.

Okay, I'm stepping off my soapbox now. It was just on my heart and I had to share.

Thanks for the website. We use a few different movie review websites because we have found that even Christian sites may give a favorable review to something we would never consider seeing.
