X-Men: First Class

Hatred, or Love?

The Lion of Judah

The Gospel in 3D

Finding Fun, Summer and Always

The Last Mountain

Standing Up for What's Right

Darrel Manson

"This is an inspiring story," says Haney, "about what ordinary Americans can do when they reach within themselves to find the kind of character and courage to stand up for what they believe in. This is an example, but there are countless other examples."

Rocky

Greatest Sports Movie of All Time

Jacob Sahms

Now on Blu-ray. The latest Rocky edition provides the movie in high definition with a booklet of essays that make for a solid Father's Day gift. And remember... this isn't a Cinderella story that Stallone told. It's tougher than that.
