My dad was a physician and he would watch this show with us as small kids. With each emergency call of the paramedics we would be guessing with dad on what the diagnosis was going to be. There is much to like about this series. The characters are genuine and provide truly heroic models especially for young boys. Mixed with the intense life-and-death situations is normally a light-sided humorous backdrop as the firefighters and paramedics pull practical jokes on each other. I think your family will really enjoy this one!</span></span>The Fraleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00996760959818890621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643619179589210909.post-73038332271170458332011-06-19T17:26:00.001-05:002011-06-19T18:57:02.965-05:00The Story of Peter Marshall<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 18px;"><a class="mdpLink" href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/A_Man_Called_Peter/60010030?trkid=2361637" id="b060010030_1" style="color: #00458b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">A Man Called Peter</a> (NR 1955)</span><br />
This week our family enjoyed watching this biography of Peter Marshall. Marshall, originally from Scotland, was a powerful preacher who ministered in the heart of America's capital city, Washington DC. His bold, tell-it-to-you-straight approach ruffled some feathers of the establishment, but his message resonated as truth to most. Sit back and enjoy this steam-able movie from Netflix.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 18px;"><a class="mdpLink" href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Mission_Impossible/70157337?trkid=2361637" id="b070157337_1" style="color: #00458b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Mission: Impossible</a> (TV, 1966-72)</span><br />
Occasionally we'll highlight a TV show that we've enjoyed watching. Generally we prefer the older show since most of the new ones only know one line of humor - degraded sex. Mission Impossible are one-hour suspense stories where the lead character works for the CIA as an undercover spy who is given "impossible" missions that no one else could solve. He recruits help from a number of supporting spies each with special talents or expertise. The team together use their ingenuity and coolness under pressure to bring down international thugs.

Again, these may be better suited for families with teenagers rather than toddlers. <br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 18px;"><a class="mdpLink" href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Apollo_13/262866?trkid=2361637" id="b0262866_1" style="color: #00458b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Apollo 13</a> (PG, 1995)</span><br />
We especially like to watch movies that are not only entertaining but have some historic or redeeming value. Apollo 13 chronicles the 1971 Apollo moon mission. It stars Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell. The movie is packed with tense scenes of quick thinking and genuine heroism. Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 18px;"><a class="mdpLink" href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Cross_and_the_Switchblade/70028004?trkid=2361637" id="b070028004_1" style="color: #00458b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: underline;">The Cross and the Switchblade</a> (PG, 1970)</span><br />
Warning: This film, although rated PG, does show the raw side of life in NY city street gangs. The message is unmistakable: no matter how badly we have messed up our lives, God's grace is available to all who will receive it in Jesus Christ. I saw this movie as a kid and it holds a special place in my memory and heart. Praise God for those who have the courage and boldness to minister to the most needy in the world.The Fraleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00996760959818890621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643619179589210909.post-56067426855447363162011-05-29T13:44:00.038-05:002011-06-11T13:43:02.722-05:00What to Watch on Friday Night...<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Family Instantly Stream-able Movies:</span></b><br />
