Movie Review: 'I Can Only Imagine'
Released in 2018 and with a modest budget of $7 million, I Can Only Imagine became a box office success, raking in $85 million worldwide to become the fifth highest-grossing music biopic and the sixth highest-grossing Christian film of all time in the United States. Still, it took me well over a year to watch it. And then I immediately saw why the movie won "Inspirational Film of the Year" at the 2018 Dove Awards.

Movie Review: '6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain'
Survival movies are some of my most favorite types of films. If they're based on a true story, even better. I actually didn't know that this one was based on Eric LeMarque's story when I pulled it up in my queue on Hulu. Eric LeMarque is a former hockey player who got involved in drugs and spiraled out of control. He had to lose his way to find it again. His story is heart wrenching, fascinating, and inspiring. CBN did a wonderful interview with him a couple of years back. Eric goes into detail about his emotions while this movie was being filmed. It's definitely worth a read!

Dedicated Viewers Welcome 'S.W.A.T.'s Third Season Pickup
In this age of online streaming, live television views are down. Once upon a time, strong shows averaged upwards of fourteen million viewers, if not more.

So when S.W.A.T., the action-packed police drama based off the 1975 series of the same name, and subsequent 2003 movie, received a third season renewal, the excitement from its millions of fans spread like wildfire over social media.
