Angel in the House

Watched a couple of movies with Ioan Gruffudd in it, the most recent being "Foster", also titled "Angel in the House".  "Foster" was a good movie.  It was nice to see the healing brought to the home through Eli, the "angel" character.   Eli was a really funny character, who convincing displayed the wisdom beyond his 7 years of age.  The movie even made a play on the names, with Samuel being the name of the son who died in the accident.  And it was neat that they mentioned in the movie that Samuel means Heard by God.

The other movie I watched was "The Adventurer:  The Curse of the Midas Box".   There are a lot of good actors in the movie; and it had a good storyline as well.  The ending definitely left it open for a sequel, for them to look for the missing parents.  The movie portrayed well how much the family members loved and cared about each other.

While neither of the movies were "astounding", but they were good family movies, well acted, with good quality.  I think that Ioan Gruffud shows character in the movies that he chooses to act in.  I first became a fan when I saw him in "King Arthur "and of course in "Amazing Grace".    I'm glad he was able to gain the fame he deserves when he was in the "Fantastic Four" movies.  He is an actor who, I think, can be proud of the movies that he has made and the work that he has done.
