I'm a thirty-something man who seeks good wholesome entertainment (films included). Unfortunately, most of the fare put out by Hollywood is nowhere close to inspiring or clean enough to take your mother to. And as my username suggests, I'm not ordinary in the idea that I can overlook a lot of stuff other critics might find distracting in a movie if the story is compelling and inspiring enough. Yeah, the filmmaker should be trying to do their best work, but if some guy spends millions of dollars on special effects, but the dialogue is full of profanity, the scenes are filled with gratuitous violence and there is other content used just to justify a restricted rating, I don't care how wonderful the acting is.

"Fantastic Four" Revisited

The two elders in this movie, the street preacher, and the actress are the new "fantastic four". They are all great actors.

I'll be the first to say that this film is not perfect. What film is? But the craftsmanship is excellent.

I was only offended by a couple of parts and those were very minor. The brief images of the scantily clad bikini volleyball girls.

This is a powerful film. I will not give away the ending, but it definitely portrays the depth the Savior loves each one of us.

There is some very powerful symbolism in this movie I don't think this film is intended strictly for an LDS audience. I think Dutcher is trying to reach a larger audience.

Lastly, this movie was able (in my mind's eye) to take some bible stories and a Book of Mormon story or two and set a parallel in our modern day--the Good Samaritan, the fall of David, the Anti-Nephi-Lehies.

I'm signing off...

Good For What Ails Mainstream Movie makers--Character Appeal and Depth

First, let me clear up a couple of things. No, I am not going to be 97% objective in my review. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have never read the novels the movie is based on. So, you aren't going to be hearing me harping on how it didn't live up to the book, etc. Neither are you going to hearing how the LDS filmmakers are using the movie to proselyte their religion.

First, the positives: The main actors do an excellent and convincing job. The actor who plays Brigham Young (Andrew Bowen) could rival Orlando Bloom in skills and screen-image appeal. Jonathan Scarfe, who plays Joseph Smith, does an excellent job. The special effects are done well. The cinematography is superbly done. It has a rough feel that matches its era. The relationships between parents and children (especially the babies) is especially endearing. Oh, yes, Eric Johnson pulls off his character (Joshua Steed) very well, too.

Second, the negatives: Some of the supporting actors, that only have one or two lines aren't very convincing or experienced and it weakens some of the drama.

Well, gotta run.

The movie made me cry, probably cause I'm a dad.
