CHRISTIAN MOVIE REVIEW: After.Life (2009)

The movie reviewed here is definately NOT for children. Also probably not for people who are not fans of horror.

after.life

  • GENRE: Thriller, Mystery, Horror
  • ACTORS: Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, Justin Long, Josh Charles, Chandler Canterbury, Celia Weston, Shuler Hensley, Anna Kuchma, Rosemary Murphy, Malachy McCourt, Laurel Bryce, Luz Alexandra Ramos
  • RATING: R
  • PARENTAL NOTE: Not intended for children. Nudity. Presentation of Death is contrary to Christian beliefs. Bad language and questionable situations. Some violence, but there is little gore or excessive blood. If a behind the scenes look at a funeral parlor (heavily fictionalized) makes you queasy, I don’t think you’ll enjoy the subject matter here.
  • INTENDED AUDIENCE: This movie is intended for fans of the genre, and may not be appreciated by others.
  • GENERAL PLOT: (No spoilers) A young woman has a fight with her boyfriend, and storms off in her car. She’s killed in a car wreck. Wait. Oh, yes–she’s killed in a car wreck. (?)

CHRISTIAN MOVIE REVIEW: The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

The movie reviewed here is definitely NOT for children, and not for many other people either.

    Long Kiss Goodnight
    Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson in The Long Kiss Goodnight

  • GENRE: Action
  • ACTORS: Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Malahide, Craig Bierko, Brian Cox, David Morse
  • RATING: R
  • PARENTAL NOTE: Not intended for children. Plenty of cursing and questionable situations. Lots of violence.
  • INTENDED AUDIENCE: This movie is not suitable for children. Many people (me included) will be put off by the degree and nature of violence.
  • GENERAL PLOT: (No spoilers) A school teacher and single parent (Geena Davis) woke up eight years before the movie starts with a bad case of amnesia. She doesn’t know anything about her life or her past. She was two months pregnant, at the time, which was her only clue. She conveniently gets back her memory and “skills” from her previous line of work, just as the bad guys from her former life realize she’s not dead. They prefer her dead.
