Top movie picks plus the trailers
Films in the movie theater or the home theater overwhelm and impact our senses like no other medium. From inspiring us to frightening us, to teaching moral excellence to tearing us down with graphic sex and violence, movies have immense power over our hearts and minds.

Action: See TO SAVE A LIFE in theaters
Right now, I’m calling on everyone who loves God and loves people to an urgent, important, and pleasurable task. Together, we can and we must rescue our youth from being ruined by immoral influences.
There’s a life-affirming, faith-affirming film that needs your support. Please see To Save A Life, now playing in select theaters nationwide. After watching an advanced screening, I can say that To Save A Life is the best tool in America right now to reach teenagers and young adults with the truth that God can save them and show them a better way of life.
For the sake of the next generation, please join me and prioritize taking yourself and the mature teenagers and young adults you know to see To Save A Life. This film is rated PG-13 because it shows real-life temptations of teens. Watch my review below for content cautions and the official trailer. Find a theater + more info »

Randy's latest top DVD picks
I avoid most movies in the theaters because they have garbage and appeal to prurient interests. Instead, I find great movies to view at home. Although they weren’t box office hits, they’re hits with me because they inspire and improve the soul.
THE BOARD -- Watch the trailer »
I can’t say enough good about The Board. This 40-minute short film is a masterpiece. It was beautifully produced by an Ohio church, but it doesn’t look anything like a church movie. The Board is a very gripping portrayal of how our soul — our mind, feelings, conscience, heart, will and memory — all combine to make a decision for or against Jesus. I found it personally edifying because it reminded me that everything I do has already been approved by my mind, conscience, and heart. I give The Board my highest recommendation!
THE RIVER WITHIN -- Watch the trailer »
I also recommend the The River Within. This heartfelt and inspiring movie centers on a 20-something believer and a pastor who learn that talking about the Christian life is a whole lot different than living the Christian life. Through twists and turns, you can’t help but connect with the characters in this film as several plot lines merge and lead to its dramatic conclusion. The River Within is a clear message about doing God’s work, not “just talking.” The trailer does not do this film justice, but you'll get an idea of the storyline.
TIME CHANGER -- Watch the trailer »
Another excellent movie I recommend is Time Changer starring Gavin McLeod. This film is challenging and stimulating. It explains how America fell away from God’s standards, and how God’s Word is essential to the health of nations, churches, and generations of families.
BUTTERFLY CIRCUS -- This 20-minute film is ONLY viewable online
While I’m at it, let me recommend the 20-minute Butterfly Circus. This short film by Joshua Wiegel about two very different circuses and a life-changing ringmaster is a powerful message of hope and redemption. Warning: this film can make you cry. It stars Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms or legs. The Butterfly Circus is the winner of the 2009 Doorpost Film Project.
