2005. 13 years ago. In a more recent interview he said he was a Christian.

Thank you for the link to your Dennis Quaid quote. I went there and noticed that there is no date on the article, but in the URL to the article, the date is 11/2005—almost 13 years ago. He was four years past his bad breakup from Meg Ryan, which involved a soul-searing custody dispute, and about a year into his subsequent marriage to a Baptist woman. So he has had some years of time to heal, hopefully go to church with his wife, and/or to refine his thinking around the gospel.

In 2005, this nation was still terribly uninformed about Islam and many people engaged in wishful thinking that it is a peaceful religion, but by now the truth has seeped out. Let's hope he has arrived at a better understanding.

I give him credit for appearing in a Christian movie and for testifying in his song, given that Christian views are career-killers in Hollywood. If his is the "big name" that draws more people into this movie or encourages other "name" actors to come out of the believer closet in Hollywood, it's all to the good. None of us is born a fully-formed Christian.

Mr. mm and I just went to see it.

Great film.

VERY moving.

And judging by the trailers, there’s some other really good movies coming out soon, too.

Thanks for the review, looking forward to taking Mrs. Shark24 to see it.

Not much of a review.

Take tissues.

make a movie that promotes family values, or at least doesn’t mock them, people will come in droves to see it. It always amazes me how Hollywood can’t figure that out.””

Homowood knows full well these values sell well. It does not fit their agenda of deviance and perversion promotion.

The dark, computer generated movies are passe’.
Hardly. The upcoming Avengers movie will likely make over a billion in ticket sales alone. Then there’s the secondary merchandise...hundreds of millions more. “”

I don’t get the attraction to the cartoon fantasies. You couldn’t pay me to go.

Billy, The Early Years” was the most inspiring movie I’ve seen in the last 3 years and it lost millions. It is the early story of Billy Graham. We found it amazing and bought several DVDs to give away.
