Combating the Commandment of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure (DVD)
Combating The Commandant of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure
The setting, Bible Adventure Training Academy, provides a unique interactive backdrop for the story to develop. The Commandant of Confusion and his sidekick, Chaos, use large words to confuse campers, which makes it easy for them to steal the Bible Team’s secret weapon.
Overall, I felt the story clearly conveyed the scripture lesson: “God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33). My younger children really enjoyed the video while the older ones sort of rolled their eyes. I would definitely recommend Combating The Commandant of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure

The Proposal
Sandra Bullock never ceases to impress me. However, this time it is not with her amazing range of emotion or her quick wit — it’s her rock hard abs! Yes, I am shallow – but I really want those abs! I saw an interview she gave recently and she mentioned that she cut out the carbs. She also runs, does kickboxing, Pilates, and rides her bike whenever she can.
So, her new movie, The Proposal, was as funny as the trailers portray. Margaret is a career-driven publisher. Her employees fear her and send instant messages to alert office personnel of her whereabouts. Only they refer to her as “it” or “the witch is on her broom.” She tends to look down upon others and sees herself as perfect.
Margaret is Canadian and is about to be deported, so she concocts a story about being engaged to her secretary, Andrew. To convince the immigration officer that they really do love each other, they head to Andrew’s hometown in Alaska where Margaret discovers that she does not really have a good grasp of who people really are, when she discovers that his family is wealthy.
The Paxton family welcomes Margaret and she becomes overwhelmed with emotion at their love and generosity. The movie is well worth the money! It’s a fun “go see it” night. You won’t be disappointed.

WALL-E
The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth (a plant), and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind.
When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there’s hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone, WALL-E can’t stand the thought of losing the only friend he’s ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.
The movie has a deeper underlying message: a view into the future of all humans if we remain on the same gluttonous path in which we are currently traveling. Humans are depicted as severely obese entities that cannot do anything for themselves. From the moment their eyes open in the morning, their days center around movement in their space chairs, chatting with holographs.
The movie was slow and really lacked the comedic appeal found in most Pixar animations. Sadly, the best scenes are the ones found in the movie’s trailers.
