Find your next movie night.
DreamWorks' Forgotten Island has a sweet friendship at its centre, but a butterfly knife at school, suggestive close-ups, demon characters and a nightmare villain make it a skip for young kids. My Mom and I gave it 1 out of 5.
A live-action Looney Tunes movie that actually feels like Looney Tunes. My seven-year-old laughed the whole way through, my husband got bored, and the coyote getting up forty times turned into a Proverbs 24 conversation on the way home. Mild language and a few grown-up jokes are the only things to weigh.
A genuinely sweet dinosaur-island adventure with a stronger message than it needed — that failing doesn't disqualify you. It's Peter on the beach and the prodigal son's father on the road, told with puppies. Clean, kind, and the volcano is the only thing to weigh.
An eighties neighborhood dropped into the Mesozoic era, with a marriage on the edge of divorce at the center of it. The marriage message is genuinely good. But the gore is far heavier than Jurassic Park and a few dismissals of God land like they were inserted, and between them I can't recommend the film.
The world forgot Peter Parker, and this movie is about what that costs him. It argues that asking for help is brave — and it echoes Genesis 2 more than it knows. PG-13 and it earns it, mostly on language.
Our family's favorite kids show, and the rare one that actually teaches critical thinking. An animated time-travel series on Angel Studios (with free episodes on YouTube) that makes history, money, and freedom genuinely fun — with an honest note about the worldview it teaches.
Christopher Nolan's three-hour, IMAX-shot take on Homer is a staggering piece of filmmaking — and a surprising picture of surrender and confession. But it's a hard R for adults only, with heavy violence and real pagan ritual content.
Angel Studios' story of a young George Washington is less a battle movie than a story about failure, humility, and going back for your people. Beautifully acted, honest about hard history, and quietly moving — best for 14 and up.
The most underrated animated film Disney has ever made, and the best movie about failure ever aimed at kids. A family that cheers when the invention explodes, a villain built out of one grudge he never put down, and an ending about a boy being chosen.
A wholesome, surprisingly timely return about screens, imagination, and finding your people — I really enjoyed it.
A combined review of I Can Only Imagine (2018) and its 2026 sequel — two of the most touching, faith-deepening films we've watched. Remarkably clean, deeply moving, and worth the tissues.
Our favorite Christian film. The true story of the Smallbone family losing everything and rebuilding on faith — the movie my husband and I have leaned on through our own hard seasons in business.
A slick, well-made Spielberg alien thriller that I admired more than I enjoyed — the heavy language and genuinely murky spiritual content are the real talking points, making this one for discerning adults rather than family movie night.
A loud, silly, nostalgic He-Man reboot that I genuinely had a blast with — just know the PG-13 is real, and this one's for teens and grown-up fans, not the littles.
A Pixar eco-fable with the right heart — stewardship, repentance, family — but a too-scary Insect King overshadowed the good stuff for our kids.
A prestige biblical drama that sent us running back to our Bibles — heavy on violence, witchcraft, and dark spiritual imagery, but rare in how seriously it takes the source material.
A lighter, funnier, creature-feature Star Wars with a real father-and-son heart underneath all the blaster fire — and a body count to talk about on the way home.
A beautiful story of friendship and sacrifice in space — I walked out of this one grinning, and almost went back to bring my husband.
A family-first Mario sequel with surprisingly real heart — Bowser of all people gets a redemption arc, the sisters get a reconciliation, and "your family is forever" earns its place as the movie's beating heart.
I almost wrote this off based on the title — and I would have missed one of the most accidentally Christian-themed animated movies of 2025
A nostalgic rewatch with a surprisingly grown-up message about treasuring the everyday — and a little more wink-wink humor than I remembered.
A strong-hearted heroine my kids walked away talking about for days.
One of my favourite comfort films — a movie about courage, loyalty, friendship, and the clearest good-versus-evil story in modern cinema.
A three-hour fantasy epic that takes courage, friendship, and the corrupting nature of evil more seriously than almost any movie of the last twenty-five years — and the Christian imagination underneath it is part of the reason.
The middle film of the trilogy — darker, heavier, and possibly the most quietly Christian war movie of the modern era. Mercy, addiction, deliverance, and hope-as-discipline, all the way down.
The finale of the trilogy — the heaviest, the longest, and the most quietly Christ-haunted of the three. Sam carrying Frodo, Frodo failing, the king kneeling to the hobbits, and the gospel everywhere underneath.
