FIREPROOF
In spite of having audio difficulties the first hour and half of the movie Fireproof (was that a/c hum through the speaker the devil’s feeble attempt to ruin it?) I did enjoy the movie.
Almost expecting the typical half baked, half done attempts at movie making I experienced such as with the first Left Behind movie, I was pleasantly surprised with this finished product. Using only a half million for the whole movie, this was a cut above some of the more “professionally made” movies I’ve seen this last summer (Nights in Rodanthe comes to recent memory.)
I am more than pleased, actually. The actors were good. Some were really good. I appreciated how they didn’t pick all perfect model looking walk-ons either. The music was good too. Often in cheap movies, well, the music just doesn’t fit, you know? But the only issue I found was a few times where the scene totally changed and the music didn’t fade very well. Otherwise, the music didn’t detract and was noticeably an attraction for the movie scene. 
Fireproof is based on a fireman who’s marriage has burned to the ground, so to speak. It’s also a term that Christian’s have occasionally used to denote being heaven-bound, and not hell-bound (and the lake of fire condemnation.) The plot is believeable, and real. The tears look real too. As you will hear me say often, a good movie will have certain elements, one being taking you through the realm of emotions. This one does that. I even found myself so engrossed at times I had to pull myself away and tell myself it’s just a movie!
Bravo! Finally, a flick I feel comfortable approving for even some picky movie goers. Whether Christian or not, if your marriage is on the embers or beginning to die down, give this one a try.
