#MovieReview #TheForgeMovie
I recently watched the faith-based Christian film, "The Forge," which tells the story of a young man grappling with anger and resentment towards his biological father, as he strives to become a better person without truly understanding how. He is mentored by a group known as the Forge, particularly by a man who offers him a job, portrayed by the talented Cameron Arnett. Arnett's portrayal of this godly figure is truly exceptional, showcasing compassion, emotion, and acting prowess that surpasses any other faith-based film I've seen.
Karen Abercrombie, reprising her role as Miss Clara from "War Room," adds a touch of humor and seriousness to the film. Meanwhile, Priscilla Shirer, also returning from "War Room," solidifies her place as one of my favorite actresses with her captivating presence that draws viewers into worship and belief.
Initially unsure about the main character Isaiah's portrayal, Aspen Kennedy proves himself to be a remarkable actor deserving of praise for his transformation from a troubled young man to a godly figure. The journey he takes viewers on is emotional and engaging, eliciting tears, laughter, and cheers as we witness his growth and struggles.
The supporting cast in "The Forge" also deserves recognition for their extraordinary performances that contribute to the film's emotional depth and captivation. Despite being a two-hour movie, the story unfolds seamlessly, leaving audiences cheering at the end for its incredible impact.
I highly recommend watching "The Forge" in theaters without delay. This eye-opening experience will resonate with you long after the credits roll, offering a powerful and inspiring story that is truly worth witnessing.

Las Meninas (2008)
4.9/10
This film is about what the routine of everyday life can do to the human mind and psyche. It also reflects on the importance of the choices we make and how limited these choices are in the first place. The plot evolves around a family of four. They live in the suburbs, in a strange villa that appears, through a complex game of mirrors, to be more like a piece of installation art than a real house. The main character, who hardly appears on screen, is the son, a man in his thirties. Suffering from asthma and eczema since childhood, he uses his condition to manipulate his parents and his sister. Thus the existence of the terrorized family turns into an endless ritual of attempting to satisfy his whims, and always on the alert for yet another one of his “health crises”. Las Meninas resembles the scattered pieces of a puzzle. It is up to the viewer to assemble them in order to form his very own picture – something that makes the film itself personal and unique.
