Maybe she truly is a wonderful person, but her overbearing media presence sure isn’t helping present that. I find her to be so fake, like everything she does is just for the limelight.

See also my #WhereAreTheWomen rating of War Room for its representation of girls and women. And this film is from people who think they hold a moral high ground, the brother filmmaking team of Alex and Stephen Kendrick, who are also responsible for the “faith-based” hits Courageous and Fireproof. Worst, though, is this: Prayer here is a way to ignore problems that are actually right in your face, Satanic influence is an excuse for bad behavior, and “God’s grace” is a dodge for escaping punishment.

The strange detours the film takes, in plot and theme, range from those of the head-scratching variety - a entire double-dutch jump-rope competition seems to have gotten dropped in here from another kind of movie - to the obnoxious: a running joke about how bad Elizabeth’s feet smell that is supposed to pass for humor is simply callous. Eventually, she is out on the lawn shouting at Satan, and not one neighbor on their upscale suburban street even calls the cops or anything nor does she appear to have any non-Christian friends who might give her more practical advice. That’s right: this is a movie about the proper sort of wifely submission a Christan woman should engage in, and it gets more depressing the deeper Elizabeth gets into it. Oh, and she should be nice to her husband, no matter how cruel he is to her or what idiotically stupid things he might do. Her new client, Clara (Karen Abercrombie), is a nosy old biddy who does not hesitate to appoint herself Elizabeth’s marriage counselor, and the totality of her advice is this: When a marriage is on the rocks, the Devil is to blame, so all Elizabeth has to do is pray for everything to get better.

As America and its allies now withdraw from Afghanistan and the Taliban resume control, this is the story of how it all began.If you’ve ever wondered what a corporate promo video made by God’s marketing department would look like, now we know. The events of that day led to two decades of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq. This documentary tells the definitive story of the Bush administration through 12 hours of that momentous day, with first-hand testimony from President Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and other senior staff who had their hands on the levers of power. As the clock ticks, the administration makes the greatest decisions of their lives: should they order fighter jets to shoot on American civilians? Should the president declare war or calm a battered nation? How would the leadership of the most powerful nation on earth grapple with the national and international implications? The film is a claustrophobic clock-ticking thriller and tells the story of the presidency on arguably the most consequential day in recent history. Members of the president’s security detail thought the next plane could be aimed at them. President George W Bush was sitting in front of seven-year-olds in a classroom in Florida.
