Samson (2018)
Horrible terrible no-good very bad movie
I was hoping that the movie might actually reflect well on the well-known Bible story -- after all, the original story has plenty of drama and intriguing characters, but no. It was just awful. It was not faithful to the original story and, in fact, added so many things that the story was almost unrecognizable. The acting was terrible and characters poorly chosen. After a while I couldn't help but laugh at the horrible overacting. And the accents! Some had British accents, some American. Ugh. The very worst thing is that rather than let Delilah be the villain she was, there was an attempt to make her seem like a good girl under pressure and fear. Double ugh. Don't bother.
Death Wish (2018)
My husband was right!
My husband and I take turns choosing movies and this was his pick. I was not enthusiastic. And while the movie has no great moral lesson, it was well done and entertaining. Willis -- who is in remarkable shape and looking fit and sassy -- did a superb job with the main role. Donofrio was amazing as well. The screenplay was so well written, leaving multiple false red herrings among the real hints of things to come. I had to put my hands over my eye just a few times, not so much during the violent or gory scenes (there were a couple), but during the suspenseful parts. I loved the end -- perfect.
One Hit from Home (2012)
Christian movie with predictable, but meaningful story
My husband and I enjoyed watching this movie. It is a lower-budget production, without fancy special effects, but it's wholesome with a predictable, but meaningful storyline. If you are looking for non-stop action, you won't find it in this thoughtful film, which may surprise some who have come to expect that. But you also won't find explicit language and other themes that seem to be a routine part of hit movies. For me, that was refreshing. I was a little surprised at the vehemence of some of the reviews against this simple, straight-forward movie. If you're not interested in Christian themes, it may be a little boring, but hardly objectionable. I even enjoyed the music in the film, which I was not able to find. From me, it's a thumbs up for a sweet film for the whole family.
