Dear all, I hope that you are reading this post soon after I put it up. It is nearly
7 PM Friday evening and I am writing to beg you to go and see "Amazing Grace" (the God honoring story of William Wilberforce) this weekend. Not next weekend, THIS weekend. You see, the first weekend of a movie has much to do with how the movie fares for the rest of its running. Right now, Amazing Grace is in a limited number of theaters, but the numbers from its opening weekend have the ability to change that, prompting other theaters to order the movie and show it in their theater. Here is a Ted Baehr's review from the Christian Movie review organization "Movie Guide".
I am driving two hours on Sunday to go see it because I believe in supporting movies that are both well-made (ie, not Left Behind) and Christ honoring. On my docket to see VERY soon: "Bridges to Teribithia" - click here for Ted Baehr's review (showing here at the theater in town,) and "The Last Sin Eater" - review here (showing half an hour away).
We have seen a rise in mainstream, Christ honoring films of late, and the only way to maintain this trend is to mobilize those who cry the loudest for decent movies, let go of some of that cash and time we're so loath to lose, and support Christ(ians) in the arts.
Please. Go. See this movie.

Nathan Boy,
Your family in Oregon (dad-Abbie) are going to Eastgate to a Sat. matinee. We are taking your advice, and will let you know what we think after we see it. Thanks for the encouragement, and reminding us of profitable ways to support our brethren. Mom
Mom, I am glad to hear that. We'll have to discuss it tomorrow after I see it.
