The Lost Medallion Movie

Who is waiting for The Lost Medallion? www.thelostmedallion.com I am so excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) What do you think about the Behind the Scenes videos?

I don't know what that is if u could explain that would b gr8. :)

Just saw the trailer for it this morning… Looks pretty cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it!

@Danielle - the website is www.thelostmedallion.com

For those of you who love Alex Kendrick's movie - he's worked on it a lot…

I really want to see this movie… just saw the trailer and it looked great!

Oh my gosh! It's the girl who plays Chrissa in American girl! Or her identical twin!!!!!!!!

No, it's the same girl Danielle. :)
@Eden - I am soooooooooooooooo excited, too!

Wow! That's really cool!

I saw the film at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival a couple weeks ago. It was the runner-up for Best Feature Film and a finalist for Best of Festival!

What was your favorite film you saw there?

I voted for Remember. It's a futuristic feature set in 2050. The main character, Capt. Carl Onoway, works for the Federal Child Protection Agency. His job is to make sure that the old Plato adage, "No father should know his child and no child should know his father," was carried out, specifically in taking children from their families at birth and putting them into a facility where they are reared by "highly trained professionals", discouraging any moves by parents to get their children back. The movie follows his work and his own transformation into a child abductor - really, a secret worker to get children back to their families. That's probably all I should say, or I'll ruin it for you should you chance to get it sometime.

That's neat you were at SAICFF! I had a ton of friends there! Saw the trailer Remember and it sounded awesome!

@Matthew Minica - was it good?

The Lost Medallion comes out in the theatres near us on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooooooo super excited!

I haven't heard much about this movie, but I've heard enough that I want to see it sometime. :)

@Jordan: Yeah, it is pretty convenient for us since we live in San Antonio. I've enjoyed being there for three years now.

@Annalysa - Are you serious? It was great! The message of the film is fantastic, and the storyline takes several unexpected turns, making it very entertaining as well. It was a little bit scary, and a little bit funny, and it did have a lot of action. (If you've seen the trailer you know what I'm talking about.)

Sounds very interesting. What were some others that you watched and really liked? Also, was "Remember" your family favorite? Courtney said that's her favorite as well :)

Maybe (just maybe), I'll be able to convince my brother to take me to the Film Festival next year…he wanted to go this year (to busy though), but he said he'd maybe try for next year!! :)

did you watch the awards, Bethany?

@Matthew - yes I'm serious but I Really don't want to go to the theaters with everything going on in this world so I'm hoping to rent it from RedBox and watch it with my mom on a mother/daughter date. :) (which hopefully will be Saturday - I'm dying to see that movie!!!!!!!!!!)

I understand completely. :)

Sorry Bethany, I was just now looking at this forum and remembered I hadn't answered you yet. We enjoyed the documentary The Drop Box (which by the way won the Best of Festival). It was about a pastor in Korea who takes in unwanted babies. It was really sad, but also encouraging. Indescribable was a feature that we liked. It was set in the United States during World War I, with the main character a young boy in a quiverfull family. Resistance Movement was a true story about three teens somewhere in Hitler's domain (I don't remember where) that decided to take a stand for what they believe in, even though what they did constituted treason. The Best Feature and Audience Choice winner Return to the Hiding Place, which Philip voted for, was also set in Europe during World War II and had a similar theme as Resistance Movement. My dad voted for The Baby War, a documentary about the history of birth control and how it relates to abortion, homosexuality, etc.

You are making me jealous…. and I'm going next year whether or not I have to walk! (but I'll have good company with @Elanee!) Ha..j/k….. :)

Absolutely:) I'm going even if I have to pay my own way:) I couldn't bear missing it this year, but seeing the closing ceremony made up for some of the pain:)

and being able to say, "You know that guy that sang Danny Boy??? Yeah… well, I know him! " LOL! :D

I so want to go to the Film Festival next year!!!! We were going to see the Lost Medallion but then decided not to…I hope to see it really soon though!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Matthew! It sounds like there were lots of great films there! I heard the most about The Drop Box because Amy told me about it after watching the Awards video.

Oh, and it's okay that it took you a while to respond, doesn't bother me :)

Hey Bethany! are you online?

We watched Remember last night. Wow, it was great! And so realistic.

Hmmm. Could you remind me what that is?? :) lol

@Danielle: Remember was my favorite movie at the Film Festival. Look at the previous page where I gave a summary of it.

@Emily: Cool! Wasn't it awesome? More than anything, that movie really makes me want to pray and work my hardest to keep our country from becoming like that! You and I (and many of us on Memverse) will likely still be alive by the time 2050 rolls around. Kind of scary.

I think this forum has turned into a SAICFF forum! :)

Last Ounce of Courage is a GREATLY WONDERFUL MOVIE!!!!!!! It is definitely worth watching.

@Danielle: ^^^^^^what Matthew said. :)

Yes!!! It was awesome!!!! We're watching it again right now. :) I know, I totally agree… And yes, that is kind of scary. :-/

Oh ok thx. I remember (no pun intended) it now. :P :) lol

Haha. :) Have you seen it?

I watched the trailor (of The Lost Medallion). I really want to watch it! Lol, that's the guy who is in The Secret of Jonathan Sperry. :D ARGHH! I SO wish I could go to SAICFF but I live in OZ!

No. I just remember him describing it. :)

Oh, I see. :) If you ever get the chance to see it, it's really good. =D

Ok :). How did you see it?? :)

Oh, my mom bought it at Vision Forum.
(Here's the link to watch the trailer if you're interested:P:) http://www.visionforum.com/browse/product/remember/default.aspx )

@Matthew: {whenever you get back on here} Did you see Behold a Pale Horse?

So, you have watched "The Secret of Jonathan Sperry." What did you think of it?

I watched it a while ago. Someone told us what happened at the end so it ruined it for us. :) But it was funny. :D I dunno, I guess it was pretty good. Have you watched it?

Yes, I have watched it but I didn't like it that much.

I didn't like it that much either!

@Caleb Wong - I sooooooooooooo want to see The Lost Medallion too — I recognized Jansen P. and also Sammi Hanratty who played Chrissa in the American Girl Movie (which I have not seen) and I am so ready to see it!! It comes out in stores on May 21st (I think).

Lol you should see that movie it's so funny. I think it's hilarious how much girly DRAMA they put in the movie. Lol

@Danielle - Chrissa or The Lost Medallion?

Hey everyone! The Lost Medallion is coming to stores on May 21st! Pre-order online at http://www.walmart.com/ip/24458262

Lol Chrissa but on second thought I don't think u would like it… ;P I have a very odd sense of humar!!!!! Lol ;)

@Emily: We did not see Behold a Pale Horse, although we heard a lot of good things about it. Many people thought it would win the Best of Festival. It was a finalist in the Documentary category.
