Movie Reviews for On a Wing and a Prayer:
✈ I watched "On A Wing and A Prayer" yesterday, and I will say it was entertaining and kept me watching, but I had to fast forward a lot of scenes. Sadly, a lot of it disturbed me. There were multiple bar/alcohol drinking and bar singer scenes, the wife who was a believer dressed kinda sleazy. The daughters as well. -Concerning the revealing outfits.. I know we see this in our secular chic flicks, but I expected better for a Christian film. Also, the character that Jesse Metcalfe played, he and his girlfriend friend were living together, not married, even after the end, in the epilogue. This was a no for me. Hollywood's version of a Christian movie. Too immoral. I wouldn't feel comfortable showing this to my younger siblings or friends. Sad, I was hoping this would be a good one. ~Abigail
✈ On a Wing and a Prayer – I decided to try this movie, which is marketed as a faith-based film, since it was still available to watch free with my Amazon Prime. In my opinion, there are some intense scenes, some brief language, and casual drinking, which I feel is better suited for a mature audience. The one quick scene I must strongly caution is when Dan, a supporting cast member, drinks too much and meets a woman at a bar. They are very flirtatious with one another, and we are made aware that they leave together, but that’s it. The point of showing this is because this character is typically irresponsible, and the next day, he has one of the biggest missions of his life. I thought Dennis Quaid’s performance as the loving husband and father Doug White was excellent, especially when he had to take over flying the plane with his wife and two daughters on board when the pilot perished mid-flight. Due to other circumstances in his life, Doug was seriously questioning his faith in God. Jesse Metcalfe’s character, Kari Sorenson, is a real-life pilot and flight instructor who is coping with the grief of losing his family previously in a plane crash. Kari is suddenly tasked with trying to help Doug land the plane through a storm and what seems like insurmountable odds. This film has a powerful message about trusting and leaning on God through all situations in our lives and allowing God to use our weaknesses for His Glory. Overall, the meaning behind this film was very encouraging and inspirational. I also enjoyed the music that was chosen near the end, including the “Hallelujah” song and the beautiful old hymn “I’ll Fly Away,” which was sung by Dennis Quaid. I would recommend this film only for a mature audience who enjoys action-adventure. ~Net
Movie Reviews for Far Haven:
🌟 I happened upon this movie late last fall when it was on the Cowboy Channel, which we get as part of our paid-for Friendly TV app. I am not a western-type fan, but from the ads I’d seen for it, it looked like a truly wholesome movie and I knew some of the stars in it from other shows, so was really interested to see what it would be like. Well, I LOVED it. As a Christian myself, it had me sit up and take notice immediately when the main character is quoting some scriptures at the very start of the movie. Very cool! I highly recommend your readers to watch this movie whenever they get a chance. It’s so worth it! And wonderful to fully support movies these days that not only truly wholesome, celebrating high morals and character, but are also well made like this one. ~Anonymous
🌟 I Loved Far Haven, watched overnight on my phone at the Hospital with my patient.
I certainly hope Insp. Channel plans on making it a Series?
Great cast, need more

Count Three and Pray…
ReplyDeleteVery funny, old movie about a Yankee soldier going back to his Confederate hometown after the Civil War. He became a preacher dedicated to rebuilding the church (busing and body.) However, upon arriving at the parsonage he finds an unruly, young orphan girl had taken it over. The two somehow learn to share the parsonage, as the movie continues, while Luke tries to teach her manners and Godly etiquette. There is the usual bad guy in the movie who tries to destroy everything.
I am honestly surprised it is airing on insp as there are some family-friendly concerns, especially for young viewers. There is a woman who withstands the company of a man for financial protection and her mother is a drunk. There is a lot of violence going on with the rebuilding of the church. Luke was known as a ladies man before the war, with the reputation of being close with the saloon gals. Lastly, the movie sort of centers around the impropriety of the preacher living with a young woman who he sees as a kid until the end.
The movie is funny and enjoyable, but maybe not insp material. -Anonymous1
