Movie Review : The Lost Medallion

Billy and Allie are best friends who set off to find the legendary Medallion. They find it by accident, Billy makes a wish, and they find themselves in the past battling the evil Warlord Cobra. Together with new found friends they battle to save the enslaved islanders and set right what once went wrong.

 The Lost Medallion is a wonderful combination of magic, time travel, action and adventure and even a hint of romance. It teaches a valuable lesson in an entertaining way.  Shot in Thailand the scenery is absolutely breath taking. This is a highly recommended family film which will appeal to children of all ages.

Alex Kendrik, actor and director of Fireproof, Flywheel, Facing the Giants and  Courageous, makes an surprise appearance.

Available at Walmart and local Christian stores.

 Out of five stars, this film is a four and half.

Movie Review : Escape

Another great example of crossing the Christian with the secular exists in the film 'Escape'. Shot in Thailand with beautiful scenery and an amazing soundtrack, the opening scene could have been from any large budget film. It rapidly moves on to the introduction of a couple grieving the loss of their child and a major life change to practice medicine in another country.

The husband is kidnapped by traffickers and the only reason he's allowed to live is to keep their leader alive. He meets a fellow prisoner whose inspiration and faith keeps him alive. Anyone who remembers the scenes in a Firefly episode when Mal and Wash are captured and tortured will love the bond that develops.

There is action, romance, and just about anything anyone could want in this film.

I rate this file a five and an absolute MUST SEE!
