St. Peter's Movie Night

Hoovey
July 5
Film length: 1 hour; 31 minutes
Hoovey is based on the true story of Eric "Hoovey" Elliott (Cody Linley), a high school basketball player in rural Northern Illinois. He comes from a wholesome, athletic family: high school sweetheart parents Jeff (Patrick Warburton) and Ruth (Lauren Holly), and talented older sister, Jen (Alyson Stoner). Then one day during basketball practice, Hoovey collapses and blacks out; his firefighter dad assumes that he's suffered a concussion and rushes him to the hospital. But it turns out Hoovey has a large tumor on the base of his brain. Hoovey requires a life-threatening surgery that could limit his ability to walk and talk, much less play basketball. The Elliotts pray and remain faithful, even as Hoovey's chronic condition threatens not just his life but the family's stability.

The Perfect Stranger
July 12
Film length: 1 hour; 30 minutes
Nikki Cominsky is a lawyer with problems in her married life. She moved from Cincinnati, Ohio and is working for a large law firm in the Chicago area. She invites her husband to have a romantic dinner at a local restaurant, but he has already made plans to go to a baseball game. Disappointed, she goes to work and sees an invitation for dinner at the very same restaurant that she was planning on going to with her husband. At first she is irked because she is sick of the local churches' attempts at getting new followers, but quickly realizes that this may be a romantic attempt from her husband. Excited, she goes to the restaurant, but sees a mysterious man claiming to be Jesus Christ. She thinks the man is crazy and attempts to leave, but the man persuades her to stay by telling her that after dinner he would tell her who sent him. Knowing that she would want to find out who is responsible, and not wanting to refuse a free dinner, she stays. The man begins to use real life examples such as family and other religions to tie in why Christianity is the one true religion, also as to why he really is, in fact, Jesus. Throughout their evening of conversation, arguments and debate, Nikki learns things she never knew about life, Heaven, Hell, other religions, the universe, and even herself.

Left Behind
July 26
Film length: 1 hour; 55 minutes
The world had fallen into chaos completely, but a new leader rose to the head position of the UN, bringing a glimpse of hope for those left behind. But is he really the great man he portrays himself to be? Or is he a devil in disguise?
In the wake of the sudden disappearance of millions of people around the world, the prophesied "Great Tribulation" has begun. As the Antichrist spreads his web of lies, everyone must choose a side. The stakes have never been higher.

Jesus Revolution
August 2
Film length: 2 hours
Tells the story of a young Greg Laurie being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene in the 1970s. Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee, a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith who have thrown open the doors of Smith's languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a JESUS REVOLUTION that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.
