NYC!

I leave for New York City early tomorrow! I'm so excited. Hopefully, I'll still be able to post while there.

"Brave" Movie Review

I have come to disapprove of the Plugged In Christian Movie Reviews. I have thought that it was more of the reviewer's opinion than an unbiased opinion. So I just decided that I would start doing Christian reviews of my own. (Though I will have a section labeled my opinion). Her it goes.


Basic Plot:
The main character, Merida, is being forced to marry by here mother. She rides into the forest enraged that here mother would try something so mindlessly. She stumbles into a witch's house and gets a spell that will change here mother so that here fate would be changed. When she uses the spell on here mother she changes into a bear. For the rest of the movie Merida is trying to change here mother back to a human.

Positive Elements:
There was some very funny humour in this movie. Merida's little brother and father mostly. Other than that I cannot think of any other positive elements.

Negative Elements:
At one point one of the kingdom's head honcho's moons two others. Nothing is shown to the audience. Later on, at least five men are shown buck naked from behind. As are Merida's three little brothers.
Merida does not treat her mother with respect at all and is shown yelling at here more than once. And twisting here words around.
The entire movie is about controling your own fate. But really it's God that is in control not us.
There's magic wisps, a witch, and spells. Also people get turned into bears!

My Opinion:
Disney messed this movie up BIG time. I was etremely disappointed in this movie. I urge you not to waste a single cent on it.

Hope this helped.

One Cry

Like my blog's new layout? I thought the red was getting old and a little flowery. But that's besides the point, check out this website! The website itself can explain what it's about better than I can. Link: http://www.onecry.com/

P.S. Check out the new poll.

Published!!!

Just found out that my short story "Only a Foothold" will appear in Aletheia Christian teen magazine! It will be in issue #6. So it'll be a little wait. So every teen writer that follows my blog should check out the link below:

The Skeleton Project

This is Wayne Thomas Batson's newest published work! It is his first ever self published book! Now first let me clarify. It is not a book but a short story. Hence why it only costs $1.29. Anyway it is the first of six or seven (and more to come). Also this is more of a comedy, in my opinion, than a supernatural/thriller/mystery thingy. I did find myself chuckling at the characters witty remarks and quirks. A funny story and can't wait for more!
Here's the link:

P.S. Spread the word about it! Since he self published it it's harder to market. So write about it on your blog, Facebook, twitter, and what ever website you can! Thanks!

Parables

Two days ago I started another writing project! I started to rewrite the parables of Luke in an intriguing way. Hopefully, I can convey the true message of each parable. They will be written in today's time. I am halfway done with the first. I will post it here once I am done.

Polls

From now on, every week I'll be putting up a new poll! Just for fun. The first one is something I have often asked myself. Check it out on the side of this blog!
