Act of Valor

This movie should be seen by every American who loves the ideals and principles upon which this great nation was founded. In fact, even skeptics should see it, for the message of this movie is precisely what America was raised up by God to do: Defend the weak, rescue the perishing, provide refuge for the oppressed, and punish the evildoer.
There is something for everyone here, except perhaps the pre-teen set who should probably not see some of the violence depicted during the pitched battles, or the hear the rough language used in some of the more intense scenes. But even though there is a great deal of violence, as well as some profanity, none of it is gratuitous. Thankfully, there is no sensuality, gratuitous or otherwise. It is a frank depiction of soldiers in realistic combat situations. But in all of it, the love of family, the comradeship of brothers in arms, the love of country, and the respect for men and women of good will, shines through like a searchlight, illuminating what is truest and best in every faithful defender of freedom.
Act of Valor had me smiling one moment, weeping another, and cheering the next. The theater broke out into applause at the end.I loved this movie. It will be well worth seeing again and again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very Entertaining

"Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is a movie that will have broad appeal to a wide audience. It contains all the elements that moviegoers expect in today's cinematic experience. It is a fast-paced, high adventure, fantasy with great special effects and a solid underlying moral and spiritual message. It is not too long for the younger or older viewer, and there is nothing objectionable to the mainstream patron. Very young children (under 6) may be overly disturbed by some of the serpent-like or ghostly depictions of evil near the end of the film. There is absolutely no gratuitous sex, violence or offensive language employed here, which was a breath of fresh air. The acting was generally excellent and the characters believable.
The author of the seven books in the Chronicles of Narnia series, C.S. Lewis, has a genius for creating imaginative stories with deeper spiritual meaning, that is unsurpassed in modern literature. I have enjoyed every one of his books that I have read, Including "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". That is the only one I have read from TCON series. I also saw that movie when it came out and did not find it as engaging as "Voyage". (I did not see "Prince Caspian".)
I highly recommend this film as solid family entertainment this holiday season.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
