Heaven is for Real (movie, 2014)

Heaven is for Real

Watched April 10, 2025.

This is agonizingly slow; this movie should be a half-hour long. The college researcher puts the preacher in his place but then the preacher walks quietly away. The church members don't want to believe the kid, but they are not questioned about whether they believe what the Bible says about Jesus. The Lithuanian subplot could have been better used. Presumably the preacher's financial problems were resolved by the book and movie deals, but the movie does not call his motivations into question. Was the kid's experience profound or just monetizable?

Where the Boys Are (movie, 1960)

Where the Boys Are Watched a bunch of times, possibly as early as the '60s. This is a well done precursor to the Avalon & Funicello ...
