Movie Recommendations for October 10th Weekend

SEBRING, October 12, 2008 – Here is a quick rundown of some of the best movies playing in the Heartland.

FIREPROOF – An outstanding Christian romance about a troubled marriage and what it will take to save it. Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea shine as the spouses bitterly disappointed and angry with each other. Fireproof plays exclusively at the Regal Eagle Ridge in Lake Wales. See our right hand column for a link to movie showtimes.

BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA – Top notch Walt Disney kids film featuring voiced-over real animals. It’s the No. 1 film in North America for a reason. Playing at the Fairmount Cinema 6 in Sebring.

EAGLE EYE – good, poignant film with Shia LeBeouf and Michelle Monaghan about our loss of privacy and how the safegaurds we put in place to protect our liberties sometimes betray them. Eagle Eye also stars Michael Chiklis and Billy Bob Thornton. Playing at the Fairmount Cinema 6 in Sebring.

BILLY: THE EARLY YEARS – People don’t usually go from sinner to saint in a snap of the fingers, not even big-time preachers. This film explores Billy Graham’s early life and influences and how they shaped what he became. Playing exclusively at the Carmike Cinema 8 in the Lakeshore Mall.

THE EXPRESS – It’s the story about how a football coach, a player, and a team defied the racial bigotry of the 50s. This movie is rated PG, so it’s family friendly, and a good history lesson. Plus it has exciting action. Playing at the Fairmount Cinema 6.

QUARANTINE – See the review in the previous article, but tis the season for horror movies, and Quarantine does it nicely. At the Fairmount.

BODY OF LIES – We’re all a little sensitive to spy films in the wake of 9/11, but Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe certainly provide star-studded reasons to take a gander at this one. At the Fairmount.
