Dolphin Island (2021)
Cute and Clean family film!
One of the things I miss from my time in Christian Retail was helping to review nearly every film that we sold for content.
In the Christian film industry, there are times where you get GREAT films, and other times you get films that are well meaning, but due to poor writing, acting, etc., they miss the mark.
The kids and I recently given the link to watch this film, Dolphin Island, and to review.
The concept of the movie is simple. A Young girl has experienced the loss of both parents and is living with her Grandfather in a houseboat in a fishing community. The rich Grandparents who have had nothing to do with her for 10 years now want to take full custody and will use any means necessary to do so.
First let me say, it is a well-suited film for young children, although the topic can be a bit intense and there is a scene where the girl runs away, and a boat explodes leaving her unconscious in the water. Depending on your child that might be a bit intense. If you are looking for a family movie night without language, violence, and you've caught up on all other films. Then this is the film for you.
The scenery is beautiful, and the use of live animals is a plus in this film. Especially on a snowy northeast Ohio day, it will make you ready for a vacation to Sunny Coasts.
Some of the acting makes this a movie that my teenage self would have made fun of my parents for watching. Yet it is very enjoyable and fun to watch.

The Chosen (2017)
Quality, Accuracy, amazing for the entire family
Portrayals of Biblical stories are a dime a dozen. So when I heard there was yet another one I was skeptical. Would it have a bent towards a specific denomination? Would it portray things accurately or based on current events. would it get political?
From the very first episode this was amazing. The details of each episode are accurate, balanced and very well prepared. This is something a child will enjoy or a Biblical Scholar. Every time I watch it a new detail will pop out.
For example in Episode 1 the woman is called Lilith. But Jesus calls her by her real name Mary of Magdala. This was not a poorly written script, or poorly acted on green screens. It is a HIGH quality to put up against any theatrical production.
You will want to watch this and support it!
