We have been trying to rent the movie Defiance for about 2 weeks and it has been out of stock at Blockcuster. Now we know why. A true story written about the Bielski family who saved about 1200 lives from the Nazi soldiers. We were humbled as we watched an account of history that is not too far from our past.
We also recently rented The Boy who wore the stripped pajamas, another account of the concentration camps during the Holacaust, and another sobering movie not for the weak at heart.
Taken can also be classified as an eye opening film.
I think our favorite drama in a while is still Slumdog Millionare. Our recent movies have shared themes of good stories of redemption and hope, while also portraying some hard subjects.
Cool...thanks for the recommendations! We liked Slumdog Millionaire alot too. Hope you guys have fun in Oregon!
ReplyDeleteWe still have not seen Slumdog Millionaire. At the end of The Boy In Stripped Pajamas Emily said, "Wait, what!? Is that the end?" It was a pretty intense movie. Very good. If you guys are going down to Blockbuster to rent movies I would suggest the DVD Play in Safeway. Selections are not as great but its just 99 cents per night of rental. Just make sure you return it by 7pm the next day. We should plan some movie nights for the neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteHey guys! It's been too long since we've talked! Love all the thoughts and pictures. Not sure that it's super recent, but Julia and I watched Gran Torino the other day - lots of amazing ecclesial stuff in there. Anyway, hope you guys are well.
