DVD Reviews of FireproofDVD Review: Fireproof the movie Summary: 5 StarsExcellent movie about relationships and
unconditional love. A must-see for anyone
in a relationship but especially for those
who are struggling to stay together.
Lots of drama with humor mixed in.
One of my favorite movies.
DVD Review: Great movie Summary: 5 StarsThis movie is one that every married couple should watch when they start out, or anytime for that matter.
DVD Review: I would actually like to see if this movie really is Fireproof Summary: 1 StarsSo here's my question, Facing the Giants, costs $10K right? Makes $10 Mil. Both hard to believe, the former is that they spent nearly that much. Most likely to fly the Bulldog coach there and back. So, why did this one only cost $100K? Where did the money from the $10 million go? Or for that matter, where did the money from the $10K on the previous movie go? If I'm gonna send my $40 to TBN for a cologne that makes me smell like Jesus's clothes, I wanna know that it's going to be used to make a cologne that makes me smell even MORE like Jesus's clothes! And same here with the medium of film, or in this case, tape I think. And why did everyone have to volunteer to work on this film if they had $990,000 more to play with? They didn't even have Mark Richt this time!
Now the real curious part. There's supposed to be some kind of accompanying book about this Love Dare. How? What happens if you make her coffee the first day and she drops her guard and her drawers and makes Christian babies AND breakfast? What a waste of money! Think of how much more like Jesus's robe I can smell like! Now I have to smell like a hellbound seculist heretic descendant of a bone weilding ape.
Speaking of simians, lets talk Cameron. I hear there's a small population of Baptists who emulate, on purpose, Ned Flanders. As fellow follower of the Flanders way, I would like to humbly take this oppurtunity to offer some healthy discernment. Kirk, you do not have to actually DRESS like Flanders to get closer to our Savior (Jesus, not Ned). Really, the wardrobe is not meant for more than two dimensions. You can just sell/buy a cologne that makes you smell like them. Unless the turtlenecks are meant to hide hickeys, in which case I say Godspeed Mike Seaver, Godspeed indeed.
DVD Review: Great relationship insight Summary: 5 StarsThis is an effective portrayal of a relationship in crisis. The movie is applicable to any personal relationship: marriage, parent-child, sibling, friendship, etc. in which we come to take another for granted and focus on our own needs/feelings over another's. The viewer is left with hope for an improved relationship regardless of the other person's behavior and actions.
DVD Review: What a Wonderful Find! Summary: 5 StarsI walked into the local video store and they had a used 5 for $20 DVD sale. Could not pass this up so I looked them over getting mostly action titles. But I saw the striking cover to Fireproof and the sub title, You never leave your partner behind. Never heard of this movie in theaters but decided to take a chance. Got around to watching it las night and WOW was I moved. A realistic story that low and behold was extremely entertaining and had an uplifting yet subtle message that moved me to thank heaven that some creative inspirational movies STILL exist. I explored the directors commentary and it explained how and why THEY were moved to make it. For a low budget move it is done very professionally actually using real church members in some scenes. This movie DOES NOT preach! It presents a very real scenario that even as a single person or ANY person, of any age, will find very uplifting and unique from some of the movies that pass for entertainment today. One walks away a richer person after discovering this gem. I only hope that the director and film company make more of these. A car chase is a car chase, forgotten next week, but every once in a while someone guides you to some thing of true human drama with answers based on hope and love. Please get this movie and support these film makers! They are to be commended and are on to a very good thing.
Description of FireproofLt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story. After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare. While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke? A feel-good drama, Fireproof has a strong agenda: stay married, lead an honest life, and let your faith in a higher power help guide you. A still boyish-looking Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) stars as Caleb Holt, a mercurial-tempered firefighter whose marriage is on the rocks. He clearly enjoys his status as a hero, but it comes at the expense of his marriage. His wife Catherine (Erin Bethea) is tired of the distance and wants him to make more of an effort at home, rather than surf porn on the Internet and hoard his earnings toward his dream fishing boat instead of helping out her disabled mother. Faced with impending divorce, Caleb's dad challenges him to follow the "40-day love dare," in which each task (cook her dinner, say nothing negative, etc.) is meant for him to better understand love and commitment and try and win his wife back. The third film by brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Fireproof is the siblings' most polished feature. Cameron does a fine job of making Caleb real and believable, even when we're not always liking him. Though saddled at times with maudlin lines, Cameron adds emotion and range to his role. There is a not so subtle theme that the Holts--who at the beginning of the film are agnostic--needed religion to save their marriage. Clearly, Fireproof believes in its agenda and was made with the Christian audience in mind. Whether secular audiences will fall under its spell as well is debatable. But no one should walk away from the film offended. --Jae-Ha Kim Stills from Fireproof (click for larger image)
