So we are getting a christian 50 shades of grey movie
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/fifty-shades-challenge-faith-based-1201270675/

quote:

Freestyle Releasing, which generated strong grosses for �God�s Not Dead,� is offering up a challenge next Valentine�s Day to �Fifty Shades of Grey� with faith-based romance �Old Fashioned.�

�I wanted to tell a love story that takes the idea of Godly romance seriously,� said Rik Swartzwelder, writer-director and lead actor. �A story that, without apology, explores the possibility of a higher standard in relationships; yet, is also fully aware of just how fragile we all are and doesn�t seek to heap guilt upon those of us that have made mistakes.�

Swartzwelder plays a former frat boy and Elizabeth Ann Roberts will portray a free-spirited woman. The tagline is �Chivalry makes a comeback.�

�Opening the same weekend as �Fifty Shades,� there�s definitely a David v. Goliath comparison,� Swartzwelder said. �They will have more screens, more money, more hype . . . but we�re hopeful that we are not alone in our belief that there are others out there who desire more from love�and the movies�than objectification or domination.�

�God�s Not Dead� topped $60 million earlier this year, representing by far the highest gross for any Freestyle release. Co-president Mark Borde asserted �Old Fashioned� is the first faith-based theatrical release to specifically target the �underserved� Christian singles audience.

Producers are Swartzwelder�s Skoche Films, Nathan Nazario of Motion Picture Pro Studios, Dave DeBorde and Nini Hadjis. The film also stars Dorothy Silver, Tyler Hollinger, Lejon Woods, Nini Hadjis, Maryann Nagel and Joseph Bonamico.

Christian Mingle: The Movie

quote:

Gwyneth Hayden is a 30-something marketing executive with a top-notch career, killer wardrobe, dream apartment and great friends. She thinks the only thing missing is a man. In a moment of inspired desperation, she fills out a profile on the dating website ChristianMingle.com hoping to find Mr. Right. However, Gwyneth attempts at impressing her dream guy end in disaster when he calls her out on her �faux faith.� In an honest realization, she sees her superficial life for what it really is, and she�s driven to create a personal relationship with God. In the end, He delivers on the true desires of her heart: �life-changing� love.

Steven Jobolowsky is one of the stars

quote:

Sorbo: � I�ve seen these guys [atheists] on TV and cable outlets� Atheists actually have, like, chapters and they have, I mean, it�s weird. I see the anger when these guys get on TV! And I�m going, wow, how do you get so angry about something you don�t believe in?

Robinson: Right�

Sorbo: I find that very interesting.

Robinson: Every time I�m around, if I�m ever around an atheist, I think I�m gonna get hit by lightning or something. I just don�t even want to be in the room with them.

Sorbo: It�s weird how they can get nativity scenes pulled down because they say it offends them. They�re offended by something they don�t believe in. Well, it offends about 90% of people of the country that they take the nativity scenes down, but apparently, the majority doesn�t have a voice in this country anymore, so what are you gonna do?
�
Sorbo: What�s interesting, people can say, oh, that doesn�t happen, where students get persecuted at universities because of their belief. It does happen. At the end of the movie, we show 37 court cases � we could�ve shown many more � in the closing credits of major universities being sued by students because they�re being persecuted purely for having a faith in God. What�s the big deal? I mean, live and let live. I�m a live and let live kind of guy. If [you're] an atheist, fine. If you�re an Agnostic, we can talk�

Robinson: God is telling us now we have to go to a commercial�

This is not fake

This is 100% real

Kirk Cameron has a movie studio

Its name?

CAMFAM

and their first release?

quote:

Actor Kirk Cameron is taking political correctness to task this fall with a new movie that aims to deflate arguments regularly made against Christmas, while simultaneously pushing back against atheist activists� annual attacks on the holiday.

In �Saving Christmas,� Cameron plans to tackle some of the most controversial and disputed issues surrounding the celebration of Jesus Christ�s birthday � claims that he says have had a profound impact on the way believers and nonbelievers alike view the Christian celebration.

ATHEISTS WATCH OUT!

quote:

And while he has no idea exactly how atheists will respond to the feature film, which is slated to open November 14 in theaters across America, he predicts they likely won�t be too elated with its storyline.

�I assume they�re going to get frustrated to see some of their best arguments deflated by this movie, because we take on some of the most commonly parroted myths about the origins of Christmas,� Cameron exclusively told TheBlaze Tuesday.

Get ready for some hit you on the head "symbolism"

quote:

Unlike some of his more recent projects, �Saving Christmas� isn�t a documentary. It�s a comedic narrative that weaves together educational elements that, through a character-driven storyline, address these common complaints and critiques.

Cameron said some of the claims that will be addressed in the film include: the notion that Christmas is really a church co-opting of winter solstice celebrations, that Jesus was not born on December 25, that Christmas trees are pagan and that consumerism is overshadowing the true reason for the season.

�It�s a scripted story about a guy named Christian White who represents the typical white Christian male and he�s got a bad case of religious bah humbugs,� Cameron said. �He is just deflating his wife�s entire Christmas party because he has come to believe that everything we�re doing at Christmas to celebrate is wrong.�

CONSPIIRACY

quote:

The movie includes reenactments of the original Christmas tree story, with portions and scripted scenes showing the nativity and the Council of Nicea, a pivotal event in the history of Christianity.

Cameron, who is also one of the film�s stars, told TheBlaze that he decided to make �Saving Christmas� to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season, while also pushing back against those who wish to �snuff out [the holiday's] holy root.�

�Christmas is probably my favorite time of year,� he said. �It seems to be the time of year when even cranky, grumpy people seem to be touched by the spirit of generosity and kindness and brotherly love and I know that that ultimately stems from the true reason for the season, which is Christ.�

Cameron continued, �It�s obvious that there is a deliberate attempt to snuff out the holy root that has produced all this wonderful Christmas-time fruit. I think it�s about time someone spoke out and made a movie about this.�

And of course there is a trailer

What the gently caress

quote:

This film contains maybe the most offensive depiction of a Little Person that I�ve ever seen in any form of media; he is angry, short-tempered, thieving, accusatory, and generally a bad person, and the film strongly implies all this is predominately due to his stature. At the end of the film, he is punted down a slide like a football. I don�t need to defend any position that this film is as un-Christian as you can get, given its depiction of this character. It�s either a joke on the part of the filmmakers�in which case it�s not only horribly misguided, but actually deserving of an apology on their part�or some other kind of moral or intellectual failure by all involved. But whatever it is, it is the most mean-spirited, insensitive, idiotic thing I�ve seen in my tenure reviewing for Christianity Today.

It would be great if this is actually secretly about the Christian Discipline movement.

There needs to be a documentary on that

http://www.christiandomesticdiscipline.com/home.html

quote:

Domestic Discipline (DD) marriage is one in which one partner is given authority over the other, and has the means to back up that authority, usually by spanking. The application and practise of DD in each marriage is as unique as the individuals who make up that marriage. There is no "One Ring of Power" in the Domestic Discipline world, to which all DD couples must bow; no singular path to "true DD enlightenment". What works well for one DD couple may not be a good fit for another marriage. Therefore, you may see many different suggestions espoused on this site and elsewhere.

quote:

There is a world of difference between the thought of a spanking and the real thing. I used to think that I thought of it as sexually arousing... until I actually had one. Personally, I find there is nothing arousing about a real spanking. I don't enjoy it. I don't want sex for quite some time afterwards.

For me, what is arousing is the authority denoted by a man who spanks. I am attracted to the authority in my husband. The spanking is sort of a necessary evil...

quote:

A fearful wife may begin crying or pleading and find it difficult to remain still. Reassure her. of your intent and love (yes this will hurt, that is why it is a punishment) then instruct her to be still. Remind her that she is not in control of this discipline. You should continue the lashing through her tears and pleas for you to stop, until you are certain the message was received. This will insure her remorse and therefore stop the undesirable behavior.

A sound lashing is five to ten strokes with your hand, or three to five strokes with a strap; some wives need more. To avoid brusing do not strike the same area in repetition. Gauge your decision to proceed based on your wife's readiness to repent.

You may find it difficult to cause your wife pain, but as a woman she needs the release of guilt that this form of punishment brings. Afterwards, help her up gently and hold her while allowing her to cry for as long as you both feel necessary. If you have children instruct her to wash her face before emerging from the room.

AUDACITY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuq-k_YvEyA

quote:

From Living Waters, creators of the award-winning TV program �The Way of the Master� and the hit movies �180� and �Evolution vs. God,� comes the powerful film �Audacity.� Executive produced by TV co-host and best-selling author Ray Comfort (Hell�s Best Kept Secret, Scientific Facts in the Bible), this film delivers an unexpected, eye-opening look at the controversial topic of homosexuality.

Peter (Travis Owens) is an aspiring comedian encouraged by his friend Ben (Ben Price, Australia�s Got Talent finalist) to perform at the local comedy club. But stage fright isn�t Peter�s only fear. When confronted with one of today�s most divisive issues, he feels compelled to speak, but can he? Challenged by his coworker Diana (Molly Ritter) to defend his convictions about homosexuality and gay marriage, will he have the courage to stand for what he believes�even at the risk of losing a friendship? And how will he respond when faced with a harrowing life-or-death experience?

�Audacity� uses a unique approach to address a very sensitive subject in contemporary society. Regardless of your views on the gay lifestyle, you�ll gain fresh insights and a new perspective.

This movie will also give you chance to purchase this from their website

quote:

AUDACITY: 4-SESSION VIDEO STUDY

The issue of homosexuality is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society, and it�s one the Church can no longer ignore. But how can we address it with love�and with truth? This four-session video study will teach you how to overcome your fear and share the gospel lovingly, yet without compromise, with those who practice homosexuality. But it doesn�t stop there. You will also discover how to share the gospel with adulterers and fornicators, your atheist aunt and your self-righteous sibling, your coworkers and neighbors. We�ll help you learn how to get to the heart of the matter by using simple, biblical principles that have transformed our lives and the lives of countless others.

New christian movie did extremely well in box office #s (Only in 1,135 theaters and made 11 million)

From the people who brought you Fireproof and Courageous

War Room

quote:

From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes WAR ROOM, a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives.

Tony and Elizabeth Jordan have it all�great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan�s world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness. But their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth meets her newest client, Miss Clara, and is challenged to establish a �war room� and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth tries to fight for her family, Tony�s hidden struggles come to light. Tony must decide if he will make amends to his family and prove Miss Clara�s wisdom that victories don�t come by accident.

In theaters now and filled with more of the authentic characters loved by millions in previous Kendrick Brothers� films, WAR ROOM is a vivid reminder that prayer is a powerful weapon.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIl-XY9t_Lw

Here is what Kirk Cameron said

quote:

"This is the Kendrick Brothers' most-inspiring movie yet. WAR ROOM made me laugh, cry, and shout, 'Amen, Sister!,' 'Kill it, Brother!,' and 'Thank you, Father!!' It makes me want to build a prayer room in my house and battle daily for those I love."

With the first Gods Not Dead they had a theme song from Christian band The Newsboys.

They wrote a song for this movie and oh boy

quote:

When did it become breaking a rule
To say Your name out loud in school
When Your name is the only one that sets us free
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When Your life gave us all eternity

Even if it gets me convicted I�ll be on my knees with my hands lifted

If serving You is against the law of man
If living out my faith in You was banned
Then I�ll stand right before the jury
If saying �I believe� is out of line
If I�m judged �cause I�m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I want to be guilty

I�ll rise up and honor You
I�ll testify to the good You do
�Cause your grace and Your mercy have overtaken me

Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I�ll pay the price to be Your light

I want to be guilty

Also I was reading reviews and this happens

God�s Not Dead 2 gives us a scene in which a heroic white lawyer lectures a black high-school principal on the meaning of Martin Luther King�s teachings.

If you wait 'til noon to eat

Back when the Chess Club
Said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace
And hold our juice aloft

Oh, none of us knew
His checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving
He composed this tune

When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell

When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell

Breakfast Clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God

Those here without the Lord
How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, Cheerio

In a movie that�s otherwise full of the kind of predictable pandering we�re used to (Christian rock rules! The ACLU guy hates Marines!), there are at least three scenes that felt like Prius product placement. In one of the first scenes, a cancer-surviving blogger played by Trisha LaFache (I wouldn�t even know where to start trying to explain this character) drives around in her Prius, dictating blog posts into her phone

Then there�s the pastor character, played by Pure Flix co-founder and God�s Not Dead 2 producer David AR White, He mentions his Prius early on, and then later, at a meeting with some fellow pastors, they ask him, �Hey, Pastor Dave, still got that Prius?� And he�s like, �Yep, runs great!� and practically winks at the camera

Mr Ice Cream Glove: Apr 22, 2007

The passion is back

quote:

Mel Gibson and writer Randall Wallace are working on a sequel to The Passion of the Christ that will tell the story of the resurrection of Jesus, Wallace tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Wallace, nominated for an Academy Award for scripting Gibson�s 1995 best picture Oscar winner Braveheart, on Thursday (reluctantly) confirmed rumors that he has begun to write a script for a story about the resurrection, telling THR that the project is becoming too difficult to keep under wraps.

Voiceless

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9MapTFqUCU

Mission

quote:

Voiceless is a call to the church,� said Jason Jones, co-executive producer of the film.

�Now more than ever as we see no relief from our judiciary or legislative branches, the church must stand up and take a leadership role in protecting the vulnerable,� Jones added. �We are issuing an urgent call to churches and church leaders to recommit themselves to protecting the sanctity of life.�

Plot

quote:

Jesse Dean is a recently discharged soldier who had a rough upbringing, but because of his wife, found God and now is totally devoted to his faith.

He and wife move to Philadelphia so he can take a new job as an outreach leader at an old church whose membership has been declining. As everything is going well and as he starts connecting to the community, he discovers there's an abortion clinic directly across the street from the church.

He goes to the pastor and to several others in the church and tries to get their help to no avail. One day something tragic and personal happens to him while he's going about his everyday routine. He comes to the point that he begins to take action himself. He gets involved but the more involved he gets, the more resistance he gets from those in church and community. His wife, who thinks his actions will get him fired or land him in jail, also comes against him.

Finally, it comes down to him having to make a choice: is he going to take the easy way out and back off, which is what everyone wants him to do, or will he face a major confrontation which will require him to put everything on the line�not just his job, but his freedom and marriage as well.

This film encourages people to stand up for what they know is right, particularly as it pertains to taking God's truths into society to address social issues. It addresses the spirit of retreat as it pertains to engaging the culture that has developed within the Church.

Cast

Rusty Joiner
Rusty delivers a star turning, award winning performance as Jesse Dean, bringing out the texture and detail of one man's struggle to take a stand amidst adversity from all sides. Rusty has had a variety of film roles including 'Dodgeball' (with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn), 'Last Ounce of Courage' and many television hit shows such as the 'The Closer', 'Bones', 'Close to Home', 'CSI Miami� and 'ER'. He has received raving reviews from piers and critics alike for his role in Voiceless, which earned him a nomination for 'Best Actor in a Feature Film' at the Northeast Film Festival 2015.

James Russo
Possessed with a stare that can bring shivers down one's back, he has been quite the accessible villain over the years, and although he has portrayed many memorably gritty, tough-guy gangster roles in the past (such as 'Open Range' (2003), plus 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984), 'We're No Angels' (1989), 'Donnie Brasco' (1997), 'No Way Home' (1996), �Django' (2013); in 'Voiceless', Russo takes that same edgy, Brooklyn personality, but applies it to the character Gil Solomon, the inner city, no-nonsense pastor who will stop at nothing to protect the reputation and future of his church.

Paul Rodriguez
Paul has been seen everywhere on cable comedy showcases and feature films, including Paul Rodriguez: 'Behind Bars' (1991), 'Crossing White Lines' (1999), 'Paul Rodriguez Live'!: 'I Need the Couch' (1986) and 'Loco Slam' (1994), �Timechanger' (2002) all of which have helped him to become one of the best and best known Hispanic comics in the US. Paul is also known for his tireless charity work, which includes strong, avid support for the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Farm Aid, Leukemia Telethon, Project Literacy, and Housing Now, among many others. In �Voiceless', Paul steals the show as the cocky, inner-city homeless shelter manager, 'Virgil Adorable'.

Brian Anthony Wilson
Brian Anthony Wilson (Will Taylor) began his Film career nearly 20 years ago when he was personally cast in the Supporting Lead role of 'Woody' by Academy Award Winning Director/Producer, Kevin Costner in his post apocalyptic Film,"The Postman". He had the good fortune to work with & learn from, James Russo in that film and was thrilled to work alongside Mr. Russo, once again, in "Voiceless". Recent career highlights include, "Creed" with Michael B. Jordan, "The Benefactor" with Richard Gere, "6 Souls" with Julianne Moore & "Blue Bloods" opposite Tom Selleck and Treat Williams.
