I started last Saturday morning with the Son of God DVD. Each morning I am trying to live my life with more purpose. I want to intentional learn about my religion and to make time for God. I am giving thanks for everything I have, the good and the bad. This is not new for me … well not entirely. I committed to learning more and being grateful years ago. Life had me a bit distracted last year and I FEEL THE DIFFERENCE! I don’t mean to yell. I only wish to emphasize that a life without focusing on the Son of God gives you that anxious feeling that you forgot something but you’re not sure what. With this small tweak, this year has turned around for me. Today on My Pocketful of Thoughts we’re reviewing my top 3 takeaways from the Son of God DVD.

50 Shades of Grey, the taboo book that everyone has been whispering about is now a movie. With over 2 million views of its preview trailer, many of us lovers of the 50 Shades of Grey book series wonder if the movie will live up to the books.

The other day I was looking through the showings at the Bow Tie Theater and ran across a movie called Chef. I had never heard of it and wondered what it was about. I clicked the tab for the Storyline and was surprised by the cast. LOTS of Hispanic names including my favorite Modern Family actress, Sofia Vergara. A chef who cooks … who doesn’t like watching the cooking channel? Chopped anyone? Read on to see if you’ll waste your time watching Chef . . .
I’d be surprised if you told me you hadn’t seen The Fault In Our Stars yet. When I watched it on Friday the theater was packed with mostly teenagers, guys AND gals. Adults were sprinkled in for good measure. There were little girls sitting in the very first row and some sitting on my right. I was distracted by the talking and the SHUT UPs. It’s one of the reasons why I try to catch the latest matinee showings. When the ushers would make their sweeps of the theater you could hear the crowd of people waiting in line to see the next showing. I might have to watch The Fault In Our Stars again because I’m sure there are parts I missed. BUT … Read on to find out why you should see The Fault In Our Stars.
When Heaven Is for Real first came out I had to see what it was about. From the previews I saw that a small boy undergoes surgery and tells his father that he’s seen Jesus AND spent time in heaven. I’ve been sitting on this review because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to point out to you. After several months, I’ve realized why I had such a hard time writing a Heaven Is for Real movie review. Read on to see if Heaven Is for Real is a movie worth watching.
Maleficent may not be suitable for small children. I just saw it and I was a bit taken back by some of the scenes. Sitting in a theater full of families with small children, I was concerned. As a future mother of small children, my thoughts ran to how they’d sleep tonight. Whether the cries and screams that I heard throughout the movie were actually due to what was on the big screen is uncertain. Nightmares? Maybe. If you have small children please be mindful that Maleficent is rated PG. Parental Guidance IS suggested. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, read on for my overall thoughts of the latest Disney movie.
