Yeah, that's how insanely bad the writing is in these stupid Christian movies. Honestly, I wish I could ONE movie that isn't Prince of Egypt or King of Dreams that is actually good

not seen king of dreams, but ones I like are. Book of Eli, VERY Christian film, but still very much kick ass. Omega code 2: Meggido, think left behind but done well and more sticking to the spirit of the end times, rather then all the baggage like the rapture and such. Also prety well done, special effects and such are cheesy now, but for the time it was pretty good closer to a hollywood budget and plot. End Of The Line: Weird horror film with a crazy religious message...but I actually liked the plot of it and the twists, though listening to other reviewers, a few have pointed out that there may be a secret twist that changes the entire film if you pay attention. for worst, I have to say life Life Zone, just pure propaganda with a vineer of horror, with a pretty good twist ruined by the message of the movie and the twist.

wolf wing I totally forgot about Book of Eli. I also really really like Dogma as well, even though it's a comedy

If you like say goodnight kevin, you might like godawful movies, they are here on youtube I think, they review Christian movies from a atheist slant, right now they did the first 3 tim lahaye films that he did before he started the left behind. Though warning, as they said in one of their opening profanity stingers, "Warning, this profanity may contain a podcast."

@@jayblade2000 The conjuring is pretty good. Not many people get it's a Christian movie though. Also pirates who didn't do anything...fabulous.

That part cracked me up. One of the best.

Angel Young i ate a book once, it was a cook book. Lol

haha. I think I've made that joke in a God's Not Dead review or something. He produces most of the Pure Flix movies.

“Great Scott!”

Strawmans make the WORST plots ever. NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, use a strawman plot

Kodo Elder-Groebe Kevin admitted it wasn't one.

***** wait, when? Also, he's not the only one analyzing the film

Kodo Elder-Groebe at the very end in the wrap-up

***** I see. I disagree with Kevin. That antagonist was a total textbook straw man. They used him as an object to argue against rather than portraying an atheist in a reasonable way.

Or their other hit, "C Drives Me Crazy"

I’m hearing Cookie Monster sing that.

RecklawTheAmazing it's because most if not all conservative conventions tout god and religiosity above all else. It's a core ideal in the conservative movement. There are indeed conservative atheists, but I'd be willing to wager there are many, many more liberal Christians than conservative atheists.

Vikings488 You haven't checked out the alt-right much, have you? There's a lot of secular outright racists there.

As a liberal Christian I agree.

I concur.

yeah!

40 MINUTES?! IT'S CHRISTMAS! Like, for real.

that's what she said

“The C comes from Christ”, and totally has nothing to do with it being a proper noun like Halloween, or the Statue of Liberty, or California. Even for a title drop trying to justify the name of the movie, that’s a really shitty line; it’s right up there with Collateral Beauty.

Speaking as a very devout Baptist... You are correct.

As someone who knows very little about Christianity, I didn't know that! Thanks for the new info!

The PLOT points, amirite

Yeah, how dare they acknowledge and show even the slightest respect to other people and their beliefs! What is this, a country where people can openly express their religions?

that's definitely more serious then the kinds of Films Kevin usely does, But Kevin is Very insightful and has talked about serious topics before, so hearing his thoughts on that film would make a very interesting video

I'd love to see a review of Jesus Camp! It's one of my favorite documentaries and I love how the directors aren't heavy handed. They show that, yes this is just a sect of Christianity and not all Christians are like that, but the ones who are like that cause real damage not only to the kids but also politically.

I think that, since they just sell the movies, they are encouraged by someone educating the audience to ask for better content. Like, it only makes their site better, if Christian movies start to get better. That's my guess anyway.

because they are self aware (unlike some parts of Hollywood)

+Jerod Williams mop Derek Savage (actual name) Of cool cat saves the kids fame as well as the conflict with IHE and his misunderstanding of fair use,

Jkop ikr it's like Konami sponsoring Jim sterling

I think they must have realized that without reviews of any kind, be them positive or negative, very few people will even know their movies exist.

Why do you post this on every one of his videos?

P.S. I'm complaining mind you, just asking.

+Ganulous Goodnight, Kevin.

+SpaceKingDinosaur Please do!

: ) Thanks! I'll be sure to pester you with the result if/when I ever do. Your breakdowns result in a masterclass of things to do and not do when making a low-to-mid budget movie, so I want to do it up right. Keep being awesome!

Mom's Night Out

Prince of Egypt.

Captain America.

That would be great. Unfortunately, what are termed "Christian movies" are little more than propaganda or somehow fulfilling an agenda. And that's exactly what their audience wants.

+Roger Tully wow, thanks! That's great to hear!

That's what I like to hear! Sometimes I put these out and think, "Have I scared away everyone who disagrees with me?" Not every youtube channel is like this, but my hope it so say the things I think in a reasonable way, but keep it enjoyable enough for anyone, even if they don't agree. I don't want an echo chamber audience! :-) Thanks for listening to this journal entry reply. haha.

I couldn't help but notice that neither of those kids were dressed as if they were going to ski. They looked more like they were going sledding. I mean, where were the helmets? and her hat was SO not something anyone would wear to ski... :P plus, there wasn't much of a path through the snow on that trail for skiiing.., :P

YES. I sure hope this isnt going to be a dirty...OHH its pure flix. I say that in the theater every time we go to see one.

+Micailah Cialella

Brandon Roberts I'm Jewish and I would watch

Brandon Roberts I'm Jewish and I would watch it.

Yes! Please do Christmas Shoes next year!

+TheNinjaInConverse ok! Great! YAY for my Alaskan viewers!

Oh right. Because she later became a CHRISTIAAAAN! I remember her being interviewed on Focus on the Family.

Ha ha, I actually might read the first couple books or so. I heard they were pretty decent, at least leagues ahead of Twilight, although that's not hard to do.

Anne Rice is sincerely leagues ahead of Twilight, from a literary perspective. I hope you get a chance and enjoy hem :)

Lemmy Mann Or creationist cat

EmeraldDragon Honestly I find it weird in quite of a few of these Christian movies they act as if all Christians are the same and have the same exact values and beliefs, when that isn't the case. Rarely do they show any specific denominations or difference between Christian beliefs. In fact I would argue a lot of "fighting against Christians" comes from other Christians

Man, THIS. SO MUCH. Whenever I hear "America was founded as a Christian nation" I want to say "You do realize at the time of America's founding Catholics and Protestants were burning and murdering the shit out of each other, right? And that who was being burned and murdered changed with the government? That's WHY the founding fathers looked at England and said 'That's not gonna be us.'"

I’ve seen Christmas fight other christians isn’t that what happened in the protestant reformation?

I think the denomination arguments have been getting better. People are understanding what loving their enemies means.

@Jeshex That's the movie Luther. Look it up. It's great.

I think I've been positive before! The original Left Behind got a pretty favorable review from me! And Christian Mingle. Facing the Giants. Plus, they bribed into being nice.

Chol .Yerlow Yeah, I think its the scripts. Most comedians make jokes out of daily situations, stereotypes, and flipping narritives on their head. But in these films, you cant do that. They would a)steal the show b)and it would derail from their "Christian Message" (because self referential humor is bad I guess). So there you go, the boring, corny, unfunny sidekick with no personality

Chol .Yerlow yes

you must have caught Brad Stein on his best day because he is the worst of the worst, imo. extremely hateful stand-up AGAINST non-Christians, not uplifting stand-up FOR Christians. He epitomizes Christian victim culture as well as cashing in on the angry Last Real Man Alive stereotype that some people have - everyone with a differing opinion or lifestyle is what's wrong with America to him.

I've not heard that

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

+Gloria Kluth I'll take this as a compliment, even though it's worded like a put down. Lol.

Haha, my bad! It was supposed to be a compliment. :)

Gloria Kluth haha. I'm just messing with you. Thank you so much!

+wolf wing oh I agree. The masses are a scary bunch. And the pool of collectivist ignorance has killed millions. I always think of the South Park episode where they go into the future and everyone is an Atheist. But there are a bunch of different sects of atheism. It's an interesting point that follows will always find some kind of dogma to latch onto. So many just don't want to think for themselves. People can believe the right thing, but not have any clue why they believe it. I meet these people who treat their beliefs like they are some kind of football team they picked. What I'm getting at is, I agree, but I also don't think it's because of religion. I just think stupid people will always become dogmatic to overcompensate for their own insecurities and ignorance.

True, I've put it that I think the real problem is authoritarianism, religion is just probably the worst example, because with god there is no higher authority. And really hard to talk someone out of something they believe, when someone bigger or smarter then them says so. In your example it's the same sort of trouble. Just like communism people like to say those are atheistic regeimes, but I think for many the state replaces god, they just exchanged one form of idolitry for another. I will say this movie was much better then i expected, I was like you expecting the, "Evil atheist is deconverted." and the town triumphs over law because god. I do like that in the end, even if they disagree with the law they went with the legal compromise. I posted it on another video of yours, but I think the rule of thumb on these situtions should be, "If you be angry and upset if a satanisst, or muslim did the thing your upset about not being able to do, maybe you might get why others don't want you doing it." How many in this town would be so happy if it was a muslim mayor wanting to spend tax payer dollras on a ramadan display or such

If you do research, you'd find the crusades were totally justified. Use an actually good argument such as the Teutonic Knights slaughtering Orthodox Christians or the Reconquista. ;)

some people will justify them, but the reign of terror they caused enroute isn't really right and such.

wolf wing What reign of terror? There's charts that compare the crusades Christians did, to the Jihads that Muslims did. The Jihads are VASTLY higher. You're telling me that the small amounts of crusades that weren't even that effective are more deadly and terrorizing than the massive amounts of jihads and conquering the Turks did?

I watched both. Last Ounce of Courage is worse.

Get it, because it's a Christian video so I can't say damn.

OH, I get it! lol.
