My parents were big supporters of Focus on the Family (and it’s “Dr.” James Dobson), and I can attest to the level of batshit crazy that origination stands for and promotes. It’s astounding that someone who looks up to them is now head of education.

I actually did see Unbreakable way back when (and liked it), and this one being wound into that universe didn’t do anything for me. It does have great acting by all, but beyond that it’s just a mentally ill guy that kidnaps girls and then turns out to have the super power of regenerative healing or something. It was…

I think the “Let’s jump off this cliff and fall 200' into a river (and how deep can THAT be, really?) and appear from the underwater camera angle to simply have jumped off a 10' high dive and emerge (albeit with a desperate gasp and sputter for air) completely unscathed has to be one of THE most over used tropes in…

*1060 I meant to say. Guess there’s no edit feature?

Disappointing. It ends up looking like a pointy crowbar, and worse, it doesn’t even cut anything. They could have bashed the fruit and pop bottles with the original tool and it would have done as good of a job.
