FIREPROOF

Last night was date night, first time in a long time. Karen and I went to see a movie that every couple should see, Fireproof. Before I get into the movie, let me warn you a little bit about the website. If you are using a tabbed browser, all of the menu links on the landing page open into separate tabs. I didn't notice and was getting pretty frustrated. When I went to tab back to this blog, I noticed I had a dozen tabs open... They are worth checking out, once you figure our what is going on.

The Movie is produced by the same folks who brought you Facing The Giants. Directly from the "About" page, "FIREPROOF is the third feature film from Sherwood Pictures the creators of FACING THE GIANTS and FLYWHEEL. With hope-filled, heartfelt storytelling, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church continues to touch the world from Albany, Georgia."

I don't want to be a spoiler, so I won't get into the details. If you spent anytime at all on the website, you probably saw more than you should. I will say that this is one that you probably want to see on the big screen. Oh, and ladies, bring some tissues...

To give you some idea of just how unique this movie is, here is a snippet from the F.A.Q on the website: "What’s the deal with the kiss between Caleb and Catherine in FIREPROOF?In a romantic scene in FIREPROOF, lead actor Kirk Cameron is actually kissing his wife Chelsea rather than Erin Bethea, who plays Catherine. Chelsea was flown in from Los Angeles just for that shot. The scene was filmed in silhouette and works incredibly well, with Chelsea wearing the same outfit and a wig to mirror Erin. Sherwood Pictures has upheld this standard in all their movies: actors and actresses should guard their own marriages while on screen the same way they would do in real life. That’s why you don’t see Coach Taylor (Facing the Giants) or Jay Austin (Flywheel) kissing the women playing the on-screen wives.Kirk also has long held to a principle that he would kiss no woman other than Chelsea. He was able to honor his marriage while making a movie that inspires others to do the same."

I would highly recommend that you see the movie, SOON!
