Here is a new trailer for The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie! The animation is a lot better than I expected it would be. Especially for a Veggie tales movie. I couldn't find this trailer on youtube so here is a link to the official website.
Now tell me that doesn't look absotivelyposilutely awesome!

Always Pray
"Always Pray" is a poem that I found in my school curriculum Bible. It is one of the best poems I've ever read. It kind of reminds me of the theme in "Facing the Giants" "We have to praise God when we win and praise Him when we lose".
Here's the Poem:
When King Darius signed the law that anyone who prayed
Be cast into the lions' den, then Daniel, undismayed,
Knelt down to pray three times each day, a window opened wide,
Although some jealous enemies were watching him outside
They hurried to the palace court in wicked, spiteful glee,
Demanding that this favored prince should pay the penalty.
The King Darius grieved in vain; he neither ate nor slept.
The law unchanging had been signed; the order must be kept.
An angel locked the lions' jaws and stilled their savage roar,
While Daniel spent the night in peace upon the dungeon floor.
Pray when you're faced with obstacles; pray when the way is clear;
Pray when you feel you're being watched; pray when no one is near.
Pray when your day is going wrong, and when it seems all right;
Look to the Lord at early morn, at noontime, and at night.
Don't limit God because your faith is wavering or small,
But come to Him with every need, He'll surely hear your call.
Hope you got something out of this like I did.
In Christ,
Anth

Loving the Enemy Update
Okay, we are almost done with the re-edit and are hoping to get it done some time this week. Pinnacle had another "spasm" today, so we are having a few burn problems. Please pray that this movie will burn when we finish.

It'll be a doozy
Here's a trailer for the upcoming documentary The Monstrous Regiment of Women.
Wow. I'm sure it'll be one of the most controversial Christian documentaries ever made. From what I can tell, it's Biblically accurate, because I can't think of any Bible verses that contradict what's in the trailer. So long as they keep to the idea that men and women are equal but different, I feel that this movie can be highly successful and bless many people. At the very least, there will be tons of eye-opening information in it. The trailer alone has info that is hard to believe. Apparently, they'll be interviewing women only, and representing both sides of the issue. You can find more about that here, on their website. One thing's for sure: whatever happens with the film, it'll be a doozy. Hopefully though, if the makers made it under God's leadership and according to His word, like they claim to have done, the movie will bring people closer to His truth.
God bless!

Saints and Soldiers
This is an incredible movie. I didn't include it in my last post though, because it deserves separate treatment. For one, it is supposedly a mormon movie. However, any possible mormon messages in the movie line up with Christianity. Had I not known, I would have guessed it to be a Christian film. In fact, the only thing in the movie that even seems to be mormon in any way is that the one character, who says he used to be a missionary, prays, and carries a Bible with him, is said to not drink coffee and cheerfully refuses it at one point. That's it.
I'd also like to note that the regular edition, according to what others have said, has language in it. However, I own the edited version, which has no language and can be purchased here or here.
One more thing: the film has some war violence which warrants the PG-13 rating. It is never gratuitous and not all that plentiful, but still probably not the best thing for really young children. There are also some suspenseful parts.
And one final thing: at one point in the film, a German grabs a French woman and it appears he's going to sexually assault her, but he is shot before anything can happen. There is no skin shown at all.
I'd also like to note that this in an Indie movie, meaning it is not a product of Hollywood. It won numerous awards at film festivals and you would never guess it was made for less than $1 million dollars, because it is such a wonderfully made film. Just goes to prove once again that great films can be made with small budgets outside of Hollywood. This is a fine example of exactly that.
Here's the incredible trailer:
God bless!

P.S. Saints and Soldiers is actually similar to our film: Loving the Enemy. I never intended this when I was writing but it just turned out that way. BTW, we are doing everything in our power to get LTE off of the computer. Please pray for us, as nothing seems to be working and our deadlines are fast approaching. As says the central theme in Facing the Giants: All things are possible with God.

Great Christian Films
Well, Dominic already posted about The Last Sin Eater, but there are so many other great Christian films that people need to see. As Christians, when a Biblical, well-made film comes out, we should go out and support it. That's the only way we'll be able to convince Hollywood that their trash (almost every one of their films, with only a few exceptions) isn't what people like and isn't the only thing they can make money off of. Here are a few films that are my favorites. You'll probably be able to pick up at least one of them at your local Blockbuster. Enjoy and God bless!

And here's the link for one more: http://www.bjupress.com/images/videos/sheffey_sm.mov
Sorry I can't post the actual trailers for all of them. But only one could be found on YouTube. Also, as a side note, Sheffey is an older movie, so keep that in mind if you get the opportunity to watch it some time. For it's time, I think it's a very well done Christian film. Some may find it boring though. If I think of any more great films, I'll try to put them on here. Bye!

Loving the Enemy Update
I just wanted to update on Loving the Enemy. Okay, so now we found out that we have to uninstall and then reinstall Pinnacle...AGAIN!
Don't ever buy Pinnacle unless you really enjoy corresponding with Tech Support(no, that is not normal). This will be the third time we've had to uninstall/reinstall Pinnacle. We finally came up with a financial plan and worked out a deal to get Adobe Production Studio Premium-Academic Edition and I must say...WOW! It will probably take us 5 years to even discover the possiblities this program has. And that doesn't include learning it. It's a good thing it came with Total Training DVD-Roms, or else we would be totally lost. Anyway, please pray that this DVD will burn and that we will get the movie done in time for the SAICFF. It has now been 6 months in the editing process, which, for a twenty-five minute movie is a ridiculous amount of time considering the simplicity of the editing needed for this particlar project.
Yours Cheesey,
Dominic
P.S. I would add emoticons to my posts, but it seems that Blogger doesn't supply you with them. Darn it!
P.S.S. I just thought how P.S.S. should actually be P.P.S. Post Script Script? No no no. Post Post Script.
P.P.P.S. Now, doesn't that sound better?
Doesn't that make more sense to you?

VeggieTales
Okay, I admit it: I love VeggieTales. How can you not? They're so funny! I actually enjoy them more now than I did when I was younger because they're so much funnier to me now. Their new episodes are also far better than their old ones. The only thing I don't like is some of the music because it can get pretty worldly and sometimes the episodes are a bit sacreligious, but all in all they teach great lessons and are absolutely hilarious.
So, all that said, I would like to show you the trailer for next year's feature: "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything". Who would've thought these guys would have their own movie? But here it is and I, for one, can't wait.
And who would've guessed Universal Studios would be funding it? My guess is that they just want to jump on the faith-based-movies bandwagon, following in the footsteps of Fox. The only problem is that many, if not most, of these faith-based films leave out the name of Jesus. Hopefully this one won't. Anyway, here's the trailer:
And I can't post this without including my new favorite Silly Song. I don't consider this worldly simply because it is pure silliness. Hope you enjoy!
God bless!
