MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN is based on the incredible true story of the Beam family. When Christy (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter’s healing as she searches for a solution. After Anna has a freak accident, an extraordinary miracle unfolds in the wake of her dramatic rescue that leaves medical specialists mystified, her family restored and their community inspired.
Being a native Texan, I had heard the story of the Beam family and their miracle daughter. I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen, especially with Jennifer Gardner, Queen Latifah and Eugenio Derbez in the cast. I'm happy to report that this week's film, Miracles from Heaven, more than delivered. It was so good!
I appreciated the realness of this true to life story. I liked that the Beam family, the family on which this film is based, could be my neighbors. It made the story more relatable that the family was not over-glamorized. The Beams felt perfectly flawed. The flaws work to further the message of the film, the message that this story could happen to anyone.
Miracles from Heaven makes no bones about it being a faith based film. It doesn't apologize for its faith, but it doesn't press faith on the audience, either. More than anything, the film tells a story, it tells you what it thinks of the story, but ultimately allows the audience to decide what, if anything, the story means to them. I loved that it wasn't preachy about faith. Felt well-balanced.
I loved the cast. I've been a big fan of Eugenio Derbez since Instructions Not Included. I wish he had a bigger presence in American cinema, and I enjoyed him in this film. Jennifer Gardner did a wonderful job. Her portrayal of a protective mom tugged at my heart. Kylie Rogers as the ailing Anna Beam will bring tears to your eyes. So, be prepared for that.
Miracles from Heaven is a tear-jerker, for sure. Bring tissues. However, it isn't a depressing film. There are some hard moments, but it all feels genuine and tasteful. It's a great film for holidays. Wonderful for families. And you don't have to be of any particular faith or have faith in a larger power to enjoy it. It is a good story for the sake of good story-telling. See Miracles from Heaven open in theaters now.

The 5th Wave Director: J Blakeson Writers: Susannah Grant (screenplay), Akiva Goldsman (screenplay), Rick Yancey (novel) Starring: Chloë Grace Moretz, Maika Monroe, Liev Schreiber MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for violence and destruction, some sci-fi thematic elements, language and brief teen partying.

In the new film The 5th Wave, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloë Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope - if she can only trust him.
The 5th Wave is the others' final attack - their plan for wiping out the entire human race has so far worked with only a few survivors left. And now it's time for them to finish what they started. Cassie's only goal is to save her younger brother, Sammy, and make sure that he is safe. Or as safe as anyone can be during The 5th Wave.
As a lover of film one of my favorite parts of watching movies is when the entire audience gets into the movie. And that is exactly what happened when I was watching this film. One of the best parts of watching films is when you come together with complete strangers and enter into a world and for a couple hours you're all on the same journey. Sure this can be a scary notion - I mean they are strangers in that theater with you. But to me that's the beauty of it. And with The 5th Wave this audience was a pure joy to experience this story with. We all cheered, we all laughed, some of us commentated on certain things - which would make the rest of us laugh. But I'm positive that we all left the theater thinking that this film was great.
You are taken on an Action-Adventure right from the start. I know the couple I sat next to hadn't read the book - had no idea that it was a book - so they were asking me about it before the movie started. When the movie started I noticed the couple was already on the edge of their seat with wonder at where the story would take them next.
Lately I've been completely into alien things - I blame X-Files for that - and honestly this is the kind of alien story that I had been wanting and needing since I got on this alien binge. Alien's that are just downright evil. And the film makes you hate these aliens. They show you the heartbreak, the havoc, the danger that they cause. They show you the children that are being affected by such an evil power that is brought over the world. It makes you sit and wonder: if aliens were to ever encounter earth would they be the little green fellows who tell us they come in peace or would they be like The Others and just make you wish that everything could go back to how it was?
Fans of the book will absolutely - I think - love this movie. And people who haven't read the book will absolutely love this movie; but I encourage you to read the book first and then go see the movie! It makes the experience that much more enjoyable.

Book has been optioned for film by Columbia Pictures and carries a first printing of 150,000 copies
Secrets will be revealed in debut YA author Arwen Elys Dayton’s SEEKER (on sale February 10, 2015 / $18.99), the first novel in a trilogy published by Delacorte Press that tells the story of a teenage girl embarking on what she thinks is a noble destiny, only to discover that it is anything but honorable. Film rights to the book have been optioned by Columbia Pictures; international sales have been made in 13 languages so far, including French, Dutch, and Turkish; and major marketing and publicity campaigns accompany the series launch, including advertising, a 6-city author tour, a dedicated website at SeekerSeries.com, and an extensive social media campaign using #SeekerSeries.
The night Quin Kincaid takes her oath, she will become what she has trained to be her entire life. She will become a Seeker. This is her legacy, and it is an honor. As a Seeker, Quin will fight beside Shinobu and John, her two closest companions, to protect the weak and the wronged. But the night Quin takes her oath, everything changes. Being a Seeker is not what she thought. Her family is not what she thought. And now it is too late to walk away.
Dayton’s personal travels to Scotland, London, and Hong Kong inspired the unique and captivating world she has created in SEEKER.

A Delacorte Press hardcover / on sale February 10, 2015
Storyline: One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance. (Via Columbia Pictures)
After Earth ended up being a bit different then what I got from watching the movie trailer. Yes they end up going back to Earth but I thought we would get Will Smith and Jayden Smith together throughout the movie on Earth. What did transpire was Jayden Smith character did pretty much all the acting himself. If you were my boys this didn’t mean anything, but as an adult that loves these types of sic-fi flicks, If feel that Jayden was still to young to take such a big role by himself. Some parts looked forced and others were flawless when portrayed by young Jayden. Other than that, the movie is visually exciting. My kids were engrossed from the beginning until the end. When that happens, I categorize that as fantastic visuals and effects that keep a 6yr old and 11yr old seated without fidgeting throughout the whole film. Overall as a family we did enjoy the film and I would recommend parents taking the kids to see it.
The story concentrates on Will Smith characters returning home after yet another mission. The human race no longer lives on Earth, hasn’t for a very long time. We of course killed our own planet. So we have taken residence in a different plant that ended up having creatures that kill by sensing fear. Humans have created cities and have manage to live in this planet and survive these creatures. Will Smith character comes home and in that process the wife gives him the guilt trip and he ends up telling his son that he will take him on his next mission to get rid of one of those creatures on a different planet. So they set off and during trip come upon an asteroid storm that ends up destroying their spacecraft and they must do an emergency landing at the nearest plant which happen to be Earth. Earth is deemed a very high-class planet that one must not land on but they have no choice. The craft is about to come part just before landing. This is where the journey begins. Once awake, Kitai (Jayden Smith) realized they have crashed and the air is not safe. Once he finds his father, Cypher (Will Smith) is in a bad situation, he has broken both legs and one has cut thru his artery. Cypher tells his son, that for them to survive he must journey alone to find the tail of the ship that landed 100 kilometers away from them and find the homing beacon to save them both. This is when Kitai is put to the test and Cypher from the destroyed ship via camera tries to guide him along. Kitai will come across life or death situations and will have seconds to decide their fates.
I wont give anymore away and just say that if you are a sic-fi junkie then this film will appeal to your liking. If you plan to go with children, make sure they are used to seeing some strong scenes involving scary creatures and noises. Overall they movie is great.
