Sorry! Internet was down all morning, so we are a little behind on things today.
Add to this, due to a traffic situation, Phil Boatwright was unable to get to the screening for the movie "Chronicle" which is aimed at the Clash demographic.

Review: "Big Miracle"
Reviewer: Mary Draughon for Previewonline.com
Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski, Ahmaogak Sweeney, John Pingayak. Directed by Jack Amiel.
FILM SYNOPSIS: It’s 1988 and the cold war is in full bloom; the Russians are the bad guys – aren’t they? Greenpeace tree huggers are upset over the environment and big business tycoons are pushing for pipelines to access our country’s oil. Then on the evening news one night, a small story from Barrows, Alaska, turns the country into (gasp) a united frenzy. Three whales are trapped under a thickening layer of ice, blocking their way to the sea and the path to southern California. “Big Miracle” is inspired by a true story and stars Drew Barrymore as Rachel, the Greenpeace volunteer who spearheads the rescue. She is aided by her former boyfriend Adam (John Krasinski), the television reporter who first spots the troubled whales.

Ali Landry on Her Role in ME AGAIN and Real Life
by Angela Walker for ChristianCinema.com
A veteran of many television and film projects, Ali Landry may be most familiar as the "Doritos Girl" from the famous SuperBowl ads. Now you'll see her in PureFlix's latest release ME AGAIN as the wife of a pastor who is having an identity crisis. I talked with Ali about her role in the film, and her real-life roles as a wife and mother, as well as her new passion for supporting other women in their roles.

Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country -- and the fate of the free world.

Why These Award Worthy Films Didn’t Make My “Best List.”
By Phil Boatwright
The following motion pictures were perceptive and entertaining, and would have made my list of favorites from 2011 but for their excessive and dispiriting content. Now, a couple of the films being discussed below are rated R – this spotlight should not be taken as an endorsement. Read the entire review, making sure to take in the content before you decide to watch any movie. Remember: Know Before You Go. When given the synopsis and content of a film, you can discuss that movie without having to support it. (If your reviewer isn’t reporting the reason for the film’s rating, get another reviewer.)

I can’t remember seeing a film in 2011 that caused me to go all Addison DeWitt (the acerbic, nasty critic in All About Eve). In years past, a few have tested the theory, “No one sets out to make a bad movie.” What? You haven’t seen 27 Dresses, License To Wed, Hollow Man, or The Truth About Charlie? Feel blessed.

Some of these entries made my list for the filmmakers’ courage to address spiritual issues, while others simply marveled viewers with their cinematic complexities. A few failed to make my fav list because of the negative content, which overshadowed the positive themes they contained. Keep in mind, Best Lists are subjective. My purpose is not to promote any movie, nor my opinion, but rather to serve as a reporter. Given the synopsis and content of a film, you can decide for yourselves if a film is suitable for your viewing.
Okay, here we go.

Review: "Tin Tin"
By Robert Lucas from Inspire Magazine.
Why does Tin Tin have a gun if he's a reporter?
4/5 Stars
We might as well admit it, all of us together, just once, after 3 OK? 1,2,3. “I was looking forward to Tin Tin.” I know it's a well kept secret, but it's a true statement. But the real question is, will this new mystery digimation, remind us more of Poirot or Clouseau?
