DVD Review: The Gospel
Summary: 5 Stars
The Gospel it a likable movie done with verve and style. This movie tells and others that no matter what man says, or no matter what you have done or doing in your life, God has the final say-so. I encourage everyone (believers and non-believers) to see this movie.DVD Review: Family Discencion

A heartfelt movie on church protocol of the older PASTORS regimen. The young son of the Pastor returns home after abandoning church life (parents) to solve certain issues created by the new Pastor, he then leaves his old life for new conforming to the elders of the church and having feelings for one of its choir members.DVD Review: Not good, not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
it was okay. A little too broken up. Some scenes were kind of cheesy, DVD Review: The Gospel rocks the house
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Gospel" is a marvelous film where gospel music has churchgoers singing, clapping, and dancing in the aisles. Gospel megastar, Kirk Franklin served as the music director using his songs. Other famous Gospel singers as Donnie McClurkin and Hezekiah Walker have acting roles. Fred Hammond and Yolanda Adams appear as themselves. If you aren't familiar with these gospel singers, please look for them in the Amazon music department. I also suggest buying the DVD of the film. The plot concerns. David Taylor (Boris Kodjoe}, in his role as an idolized hip-hop superstar, who visits his ailing father after many years as the prodigal son.His father is the a church that is falling on hard times. David has the connections in the music industry to hold a huge fundraising concert that can build a new church with a solid foundation. He also gives new life to the music, choir, and churchgoers as donations roll in. In opposition is the Rev. Charles Frank (Idris Elba) who is slotted to become the new pastor. Charles and David, who were once good friends in their younger days turn against each other like Cain and Abel.Frank argues David's participation in church business matters particularly after the demise of David's father. However, the concert is a huge success which further angers the new Rev. Charles. If for anything else, rock on with the pulsating, high-energy gospel music. Whether you are religious or not, "The Gospel" film is truly inspirational.DVD Review: The Gospel
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a well done film and the music as well as the story is on the mark. I think that this is a good family film and has a wonderful message. I don't think you will make a mistake by getting this film.
Description of The Gospel (Special Edition)
A YOUNG SINGER TURNS HIS BACK ON GOD & HIS FATHER'S CHURCH. HERETURNS YEARS LATER TO FIND THE ONCE POWERFUL CONGREGATION IN DISARRAY. WITH HIS CHILDHOOD NEMESIS CREATING A 'NEW VISION' FORTHE CHURCH, HE IS FORCED TO DEAL WITH ISSUES THAT SEND HIM ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH REDEMPTION OR DESTRUCTION.The Gospel is by no means a great movie, but it has enough heart, simple decency, and fine music to make it appropriate viewing for families of all kinds. Director-screenwriter Rob Hardy's story revolves around David Taylor (played in his adult years by Boris Kodjoe), a devout youngster who, disillusioned by the death of his mother and mistrust of his pastor father (Clifton Powell), leaves the fold and goes on to become a hip-hop star. But when Bishop Taylor falls ill and David returns home to find his church in dire financial straits and about to be taken over by the Reverend Charles Frank (Idris Elba), once David's best friend but now a self-promoting, money-obsessed hypocrite, well, let's just say that one needn't be an oracle to predict how things will turn out. So the dialogue is hackneyed and the story short on nuance (the title of David's big hit, "Let Me Undress You," is typical of the general lack of subtlety). What this modest film has going for it is a refreshing dearth of cynicism and pretension, not to mention a total absence of profanity, violence, and graphic sex. And in shedding light on an African-American church's place in its community, a role that is not just spiritual by financial, social, and more, The Gospel also gives us some wonderfully infectious contemporary gospel music, performed by singers like Yolanda Adams and American Idol finalist Tamyra Gray. In fact, the music might even inspire some viewers to check out the music of some of the genre's real-life giants, like the great Rev. James Cleveland. And that is high praise indeed. --Sam Graham
