Like many others, I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie, and rewatched it with my children as well. There was just something about the show that continues to live in our hearts every day.

I am here to share that LITTLE HOUSE HOMECOMING is a virtual cinema event that will be available to watch for purchase starting on November 26.

In celebration of the beloved television show’s 50th Anniversary, comes a heartwarming new documentary: LITTLE HOUSE HOMECOMING — a journey that brings together members of the original cast and generations of fans in a shared tribute to love, hope, and belonging.

This virtual cinema event will include reflections from Dean and Alison, the premiere of the feature-length documentary, and a bonus conversation with cast members filmed at Rocky Ridge, Laura and Almanzo’s farm in Mansfield, Missouri.

Join Karen Grassle (“Caroline Ingalls”), Dean Butler (“Almanzo Wilder”), Alison Arngrim (“Nellie Oleson”), Charlotte Stewart (“Miss Beadle”), and Wendi Lou Lee (“Baby Grace”) as they travel to the real-life places that inspired Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books—and reconnect with the spirit of Little House that continues to inspire audiences around the world.

Featuring heartfelt new interviews with members of the original cast, reflections from devoted fans and historians, and extraordinary footage of the places Laura lived and wrote about, LITTLE HOUSE HOMECOMING is a celebration of a legacy that still feels like home.

Journey back to the prairie this Thanksgiving weekend!

I initially mentioned that "Christmas at the Cabin" is suitable for the whole family, but after watching it, I've decided it's better suited for older teens and adults. While the film is enjoyable, I found that it might not capture the attention of younger children. It’s a clean movie that highlights how everyone faces their own struggles and emphasizes that our perceptions of how others view us can often be inaccurate. There are heartfelt lessons from unexpected characters, and the film draws inspiration from the Bible, encouraging viewers to turn to God for guidance.

Review Wire Media for Vertical Entertainment

I first heard about the Sentinelese and the North  Sentinel Island in Social Studies in ninth grade (props to my Social Studies teacher, Mr. Dean). Even though I did well in Social Studies, he made the Subject interesting and voiced his opinions openly, which is something you don't see very often in a teacher now. Over the years, I often wondered about that tribe, and now, many years later, I am blessed with being able to tell my readers about a movie based on a true story about the very tribe I have often thought about. 

ABOUT:

Based on a true story, Justin Lin's Last Days follows 26-year-old John Allen Chau’s journey to fulfill his life’s mission. He embarks on a dangerous adventure across the globe to share his faith with the isolated tribe of North Sentinel Island, while a detective from the Andaman Islands races to stop him before he does harm to himself or the tribe. PG-13

Starring: Sky Yang, Radhika Apte, Ken Leung

Directed by: Justin Lin

The North Sentinel Island is known for being the home of the Sentinelese, an indigenous tribe that remains completely isolated from the outside world and fiercely rejects contact with outsiders. In 1956, the Indian government established a protected exclusion zone around the island to prevent contact, primarily to protect the tribe from diseases to which they have no immunity and to preserve their way of life. 

Last Days opens in theaters on October 24

I know missionaries personally, and our missionaries never went through training like what is shown in this movie, and they are in some of the most dangerous countries to spread the word of God. So seeing how some are trained was very new and different to me. This movie sure had me thinking about how to spread the word of God to those around me, while this man literally put his life on the line to bring the word of God to a place that has probably never heard the word. I also like to think that because they could not find an actual body, he is somehow alive and sharing his faith. I know it is a long shot, but it also makes me sleep better at night. It also reminds me to pray for those out there who are spreading the word of God everywhere.

Fall is quickly approaching, and the family-friendly movie Grow is the perfect way to start the season. I'm eager to see how the tale of pumpkins and sabotage plays out.

About GROW

Welcome to the pumpkin capital of the world, where the pumpkins are epic, the rivalries are fierce, and the competition is anything but garden variety. Dinah Little, a no-nonsense farmer with a tough-as-a-pumpkin exterior, reluctantly takes in her abandoned niece, Charlie. Dinah is not quick to affection, and Charlie is not one for sitting still. So she throws herself into farm life, sleeves rolled up and hands in the dirt.

Then comes the town’s biggest spectacle, the annual pumpkin-growing contest, a Halloween season tradition that brings out wild stunts, eccentric characters, and record-setting drama. But Charlie has something no one else does, a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved.

But as both pumpkin and plot thicken, and rival growers pull every trick in the book, will Charlie and Dinah’s unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen?

As her pumpkin grows bigger, so does her bond with her aunt Dinah. Together they discover that the real prize is not measured in pounds, but in joy, laughter, and family. What begins as a seed blossoms into an exuberant and hilarious story of crazed competition, found family, and love that grows as boundless as the pumpkins themselves.

Wow! I just watched "Grow," and it was fantastic. I love family movies that have you cheering for the good guys. This film really makes you want to get up and dance. Charlie is on a mission to find her mom, and growing the biggest pumpkin might be the key to making it happen. The movie is filled with mystery, life lessons, the importance of taking chances, and the value of hard work.

I am thrilled to see this and share it with you. One of my favorite film genres is Mystery. With this being rated PG, that means the whole family can enjoy it together.

Internet sleuth (or "webtective") Dot Conner receives a cryptic phone call from her father on the eve of her first day of high school, plunging her into an adventure she never expected to face. As Dot navigates the rocky start of her high school life, she uncovers the first of many clues her father has left behind, setting her on an urban treasure hunt with friends Makayla and Alex. Their quest leads them through the city, crossing paths with dangerous Russian

thugs as they go. What begins as a search for her father quickly unravels into a much larger mystery, revealing his deep involvement in the world of espionage.

My review 

Mystery movies, shows, and books are right at the top of my list of favorites. Dot Conner: Webtective, although meant for teens, is a pretty good family movie with a little bit of humor thrown in. You can tell right from the beginning that religion is a big part of Dot's family, and she is proud to tell others of her faith.  In one part, they do a video sweep of her bedroom, and on her nightstand stand you see a lamp with Nancy Drew Books nearby, which is a classic nod to one of the greatest sets of mystery books available.  Nancy Drew and Scooby Doo are why I enjoy mysteries so much. 

This movie moved along well with the characters and plot. I can see this being made into a series quite easily. Dot has a web page where she works through her mysteries with the help of verses from the Bible, a loving family, and some good friends.

I am so excited to be able to share this news with my readers. Maybe you have already seen A Week Away, the movie. We loved it. Now you can see A Week Away: The Series available on Angel.com.

A Week Away: The Series is targeted towards young adults, but is also great for families and adults. 

About the Film

THIS MUSICAL SERIES follows a group of teens as they embark on a summer at Camp Aweegaway

— a Christian camp filled with adventure, friendships, and unexpected self-discovery

It’s an expressive and resonant story about identity, trust, and the courage to confront oneself. A Week Away: The Series offers a tender space for those burdened by doubt and pain to explore the possibility of hope and the power of a found family.

The story follows a defiant foster teen who is dragged to church camp, determined to resist what he sees as the hollow promises of faith. But rejection gives way to introspection, and the walls he’s built begin to crack. As he discovers he’s not alone in the struggle against grief, anger, and the ache of belonging, he learns that healing can’t be forced— it must be chosen.

A Week Away: The series is fun, engaging, and suitable for the whole family, exploring themes of faith and values through character-driven storytelling rather than direct sermons.

"Christian High School Musical" / "Camp Rock with faith message" / "Disney Channel meets Bible camp"

Now Streaming on Angel.

 

After seeing the movie A Week Away which I loved by the way, I kind of knew what to expect going into A Week Away: The Series. Since this is a musical, think High School Musical meets Salute Your Shorts but with a faith-based theme. It not only shows young adults with doubts about God but how they work through those feelings to begin or continue their own jouney with God. 

Today some young adults have seen and or been through so much it can be hard for them to find where they belong, much less believe in God, or heal from where they are. This show shows some of what it may look like for someone struggling to break free from the chains holding them back and move forward with their lives. This is a great show to watch together as a family, full of fun, music, while encouraging faith in God.

Welcome to The Short Game

I am happy to bring you another faith-based film. The Short Game is an inspiring new film that explores themes of perseverance, identity, and faith—all through the lens of competitive junior golf. It’s a heartfelt journey for the whole family that highlights character as much as competition. The Short Game is coming to theaters on August 29th, 2025.

About The Short Game

An uplifting, family-friendly film that follows the journeys of young golfers from around the world as they compete in one of the most prestigious youth golf tournaments on the planet.

Among them is Jeremy Avery, a determined teen vying for a college golf scholarship awarded to the winner of the State Championship. But Jeremy’s preparation and performance are challenged by family pressures—especially his responsibility to care for his younger autistic brother, Ethan. As he carries the weight of his team and faces an opponent willing to do anything to win, Jeremy embarks on a journey of discovery, uncovering not only his own resilience but also Ethan’s remarkable, savant-like gifts. Together, they just might become an unstoppable pair. But on the brink of his greatest victory, Jeremy is faced with a life-altering decision: chase his personal dream or stand by his brother.

Personally, I thought this film was much better than the other well-known golf movie that is playing out there. I loved how it showed the family overcoming struggles along the way, working as a team. This film had awe moments,  happy moments, sad moments, as well as tense moments. It was well done and even fit some faith in. The aspects of faith fit in perfectly and did not feel forced, which is sometimes hard to do in films, but The Short Game did it so perfectly that it felt natural.

The full season of  Testament is available on Angel.com, the Angel App, and is available to all Angel Guild members.

I am so excited to bring you Testament, which is a powerful new series from Angel Studios that reimagines the Book of Acts in a bold, modern-day setting. Through immersive storytelling and rich visual style, the series brings the early church to life—highlighting the courage, conviction, and sacrifice of the first believers. This is a fresh take on Scripture that will inspire audiences of all ages.

The Book of Acts is explosively reimagined in an alternate-modern era. A resurrection sparks a movement that turns the world upside down, spreading hope amid chaos. As the followers risk everything to preach the good news, the Temple races to silence them before the oppressive Imperium regime retaliates. But public miracles, unburied secrets, and fractured loyalties force both sides to confront the true cost of their choices. This series will challenge you, move you, and make you rethink what it means to truly follow Jesus. With the modern setting, you'll relate to these people and stories like never before.

My review

First and fore-most this series gave me goosebumps more than once as well as feelings of something moving within me. It is centered in a kind of dark and dismal world that isn't like our actual world. Wish it had made it more like how the world is today instead of a distopian world so it would hit a bit harder. It also took me a while to figure out which character matched the people in the Bible. My favorite episodes so far is One Accord which is the third episode.  All in all this was a good series but could have been tweeked a little more to our currant world to get the word out stronger.
