The Yellow Handkerchief and Fireproof

 I saw this 2008 flick, "The Yellow Handkerchief" on Netflix and decided to give it a whirl.  I love the unexpected relationships between the characters.   Basically three strangers are thrown together and I love how each dynamic plays out.  The character that William Hurt plays is my favorite.  He is soft spoken and beautifully understated.  Most of the story was a bit uncomfortable because of the character that Eddie Redmayne plays, he's just creepy and I can't get used to him even in the end when he straitens out.  Kristen Stewart was pretty good in this role but I think that is because she wasn't required to act any different than she does in any of her other films or in real life for that matter, mumbly and strange.

I give this 2 buns....@@ (still no bun icons from Baron)

This movie, "Fireproof" was also released in 2008 and was patterned to be about the book 'The Love Dare'.  I read The Love Dare last year and had seen this movie on Netflix but was never interested till the other day.  I really liked this movie.  It stars Kirk Cameron and even though his MO is cheeseyness lately, I still like him.  This is a Christian based film so it is a bit low budget and the script in parts is like a road show but I think that aspect really lets you feel some tender moments.  I thought the story was sweet and it made me want to read the book again and take the dare.  I cried through the end.
This is one that I would like to own for times when I'm down.
