Rudy | Stuart Jones
The story of Rudy Ruttiger, the 5-foot-nothing linebacker from the steel mills of PA who wanted to play at Notre Dame, is a message of perseverance. However, it’s not as simple as just “powering through.” Even the most optimistic and persistent dreamers can encounter setbacks and pitfalls that make them want to quit. Sometimes, the dreamer needs encouragers and other motivations to get across the finish line. Perseverance often takes a village.
The Avengers | Stuart Jones
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most lucrative movie franchises of all time. And every piece of that Universe pushes towards an Avengers movie. The Avengers are the picture of what happens when those with different gifts, powers, skills, and talents work together instead of apart for a common purpose. It turns out that to face the real enemies of our lives and souls, we need each other, and we need the power that only comes from the assembly to win the war.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood | Stuart Jones
Though seemingly a docu-drama about a beloved children’s television star, this movie speaks to a massive theme found throughout scripture and the story of redemption through Christ. A lack of forgiveness from us and in us can derail our lives and our perspective on the world around us. And that same forgiveness can unlock beauty that we never knew was possible.
