OnlySunshine Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 [quote name='DiscerningCatholic' timestamp='1350326605' post='2493699'] WAAAAAAAAH. The closest showing to where I live is almost 2 hours away. Does anyone know of any movies that are in English with really good acting? As much as I love the St. Therese, St. Maria Goretti, and St. Rita movies...the acting/dub acting is TERRIBLE. [/quote] Unfortunately, I realized last night that it's showing on the same night that one of my other ministries is meeting. GAH! I gotta get out of it but how?

DiscerningCatholic Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Okay, so I've added St. Rita into my list of favorite saints. (She's the patron saint of hopeless causes...a perfect saint for a person like me! ) The list of things that she did before she entered the convent at the age of 36...let's see. Got married, had two kids, witnessed the murder of her husband and then her children, forgave her husband's killers... And of course, I love the movie about her. (Even though quite a bit of it is inaccurate.)

[/quote] This movie was totally worth it! I loved every minute of it, especially the conversion scene. It was heartfelt and thought provoking. I had tears in my eyes during that scene because I could totally relate to it. I hope St. Augustine would be pleased with the movie if he saw it. I highly recommend you see this movie if you get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
