Powerful personal story of redemption,
This review is from: Against All Hope (DVD)
While not the biggest budget movie ever made, the power of this true personal story really resonates. The film vividly demonstrates the power of a heart being changed through the message of God's love and grace. It may seem a little "preachy" to some, but the fact is that Cecil's Moe's life WAS completely changed by the message, and that has to be good news for anyone who is willing to listen. No one, no matter what their condition, is beyond the possibilities of God's care.

This could qualify as an "Unshackled" story,

This review is from: Against All Hope [Slim Case] (DVD)
This was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a bunch of dribble from Lifetime. However, I saw this as a faith movie. This may very well have been a true story of Cecil Moe. I'm not sure where he was born, but he had a good struggle throughout his early life where his mother becomes ill, and is left in care of by a abusive nurse named Myrna. This is where the children should stand up, and be noticed as Cecil's mother would die at the hands of Myrna, and Cecil's father is so snowed by Myrna that he doesn't listen to Cecil's plea to get rid of Myrna, and then it's too late as Cecil's father becomes a willing slave to her, and even to the point of making him forget that Cecil is his son. Then Myrna manipulates Cecil's father into shipping off Cecil into the Navy, and when Cecil's father tries to go see Cecil before he's shipped off to war Myrna abuses him to keep him from going. Unfortunately, Cecil finds out about his father's death after being overseas, and then begins his addiction to alcohol. He marries, and has 2 sons, but his alcoholism comes first because in Cecil's eyes it is his savior. However, after 12 years of marriage to both Johnny Walker, and his wife Cecil becomes aware that he can't be married to the both of them, so he goes out of despiration to a local pastor, and bares his soul, and then the pastor leads Cecil to Christ in a new way he never heard before. Before this Cecil would go to church, and hear the word of God, but it didn't sink in until this point, and before he leaves the pastor's home Cecil welcomes Jesus Christ into his heart, and home. However, his wife is at first skeptical because of all the broken promises before, and then because he becomes true to his word, and then it's she feels inadequate. The ending is rather good as it shows the word trying to convict Cecil's wife, and Cecil facing his own temptation by going into one of his old neighborhood haunts to work. This is a good movie to help those who are so focused on alcohol that they're on the last legs. For Christians this can be a good movie to help you stay focused.

A Movie to Avoid,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One for the Road (DVD)
This is a true story of a man who struggles and eventually comes to grips with his alcoholism. It almost has the look of a home movie. Sound quality is poor, and cinematography could be better. The story itself is excellent, but the ending is a little bit over the top. If you are going to show this to a church group, it might be ok. Otherwise, there are hundreds of better movies out there.
