I haven’t watched a modern Hollywood film since 2006. I have no idea what sort of trash they’re producing or whether it is of any quality. The problem with Christian films is that we tend to look at the message and exalt that over writing or production value. The problem I have with that is that we lose just about everyone with poorly produced movies and we lower our own standards just to watch something with the right message.
I watched Steel Magnolia's yesterday. Everyone sang it's praises. Wonderful movie! I thought it was crap. The best part was everyone's character slamming Shirley MacLaines character. Otherwise it was a waste of time.
I'd rather watch any movie made by Pure Flix as I actually laugh, for real, or enjoy the message. I love old Hollywood films like Cary Grant movies. I enjoyed Quigley Down Under too, I like westerns, John Wayne included. But I think most of what Hollywood thinks is great is actually garbage.
Have you seen Courageous?
