Tonight I went and saw the movie, “Adam.” It’s the story of Adam, a star gazing-macaroni loving-single guy and how his relationships, work and life unfold through the challenge of living with Asperger syndrome. What I thought would be a quirky, and entertaining movie turned out to be a lot more. The film manages to be incredibly deep while working on multiple levels. Both in the lives of the characters and in a a much broader sense, the film taps into and understands truth in the likes of grace, love, the depth of a woman’s heart/desires, emotions, the human condition, God’s mystery and sin…to name a few. I won’t go in to depth, primarily because that would be impossible without giving away parts of the story. But, this is definitely a movie I’d recommend! And if you do see it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I’ll keep this short and sweet. The Fall is a movie I originally saw while in Rwanda at an ex-pat movie night. It is an incredibly unique film with great depth to it’s story. In addition it’s probably the most beautiful and stunning visual presentation I’ve ever seen in a film. It’s filmed in 16 different countries on multiple continents. As far as the plot, all I can say is it’s really a story within a story that seems to have relevance to most stories. The trailer is below, if you ever are looking for a great movie to rent I’d definitely check this one out!
