God Bless the Broken Road
Another Christian movie. This time it's from the director of God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2. So this is the top tier of Christian movies.
God Bless the Broken Road is about a woman whose husband dies while on a tour of duty. She struggles to support her little family, she struggles a little later with the prospect of a new romance, and most centrally she struggles with her faith in God. The acting looks bad, but besides that this looks like one of the best Christian movies we've seen yet. It looks watchable, and that's high praise from me to a Christian movie.
God Bless the Broken Road is rated PG for thematic elements and some combat action.
The Nun
They've got the whole reversed "N" thing going on, but as far as I know there is no connection or affiliation with Nine Inch Nails.
Here we have another top contender in an overall low-quality genre. The Nun lists James Wan as a producer, and that alone is enough to make it worth considering. But really that means that it's probably not completely terrible. That's the best I can say.
As they're so keen to let you know in the advertising, it is part of the Conjuring universe of films.
The Nun is rated R for terror, violence, and disturbing/bloody images.
The trailer had a jump scare that actually got me. A horror trailer jump scare hasn't got me since the Deliver Us From Evil trailer more than four years ago.
Peppermint
Woman's husband and daughter are murdered. Justice is hampered by corrupt cops and judges. Woman disappears for five years. Woman comes back as female version of The Punisher and kills the three gang members that killed her family (the trailer shows that she succeeds in this). Then she seems to just keep on killing people that she thinks deserves it.
*shrug*
I don't doubt Jennifer Garner's performance, but I doubt pretty much everything else.
The She-Punisher, I mean Peppermint is rated R for strong violence and language throughout.
