Narnia Fans – See Soul Surfer this Weekend!

I know that this is off-topic and may seem to be a strange endorsement to all of you, but you should know this: it’s because of fans like you supporting movies like Narnia that Soul Surfer even came to be made.  The studios look for ways to increase the bottom line, and it’s no secret: it is a business after all.  But when it comes to wholesome family entertainment, the studios are learning that we want to support movies like this being made.  When they saw the numbers for each Narnia film (Dawn Treader has made over $400 million and growing), they saw that films with inspiring and Christian subject matter can be profitable and that we’ll show our support.

Soul Surfer is a movie that is based on a true story, and from what I have heard, it is a truly great film that we will all enjoy.  I encourage you to show your support of movies like this being made more often, and see the film this opening weekend.  Order your tickets now, go with a group, do what it takes to help increase the chances of this film coming out at number 1 this weekend, the most important weekend of a film’s release.

Soul Surfer is the inspiring true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton. Bethany lost her left arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, through her sheer determination and unwavering faith.

Bethany (AnnaSophia Robb) was born to surf. A natural talent who took to the waves at a young age, she was leading an idyllic life on Kauai, participating in national surf competitions with her best friend Alana (Lorraine Nicholson), when everything changed. On Halloween morning, a 14-foot tiger shark came out of nowhere and seemed to shatter all her dreams.

Soul Surfer reveals Bethany’s fight to recover from her ordeal and how she grappled with the question of her future. Strengthened by the love of her parents, Tom (Dennis Quaid) and Cheri (Helen Hunt), and supported by her youth group leader Sara (Carrie Underwood), Bethany refuses to give in or give up, and begins a bold return to the water.
