MOVIE  REVIEWS

Reviews of movies which may provide entertainment of interest to a church-going audience-- movies potentially suitable for family viewing ("G" rated), as well as those which merge popular culture and ethical messages ("PG"--pre-viewing advised to determine suitability)..

These reviews are from www.UMC.org, the official online ministry of The United Methodist Church, and include a list of study questions to highlight specific content. There are also links which when selected include previews ("trailers") of the sort which would be seen in a theatre. Note that once selected, there may be a considerable delay while the video is being loaded, then there may be a second delay of five or ten seconds, or more, between the introduction and the beginning of the actual preview. In some cases, both High Resolution and Low Resolution versions are offered.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The type of connection you have (dialup, DSL, cable, etc.) and the capacity of your computer determine which resolution will function best. If your ISP (Internet Service Provider), connection or computer is not adequate, the video may play improperly (it may stop for 30 seconds or so and then resume) or not play at all. Once you have finshed reading the review and study questions, or the video has completed, the PREVIOUS or BACK button on your browser may be used to return to this page. If you have difficulty returning from the video, simply "X out".or, if necessary, press CONTROL, ALTERNATE and DELETE simultaneously, then "End Task."
