A while back CubeSlacker had a Chuck Norris joke competition - where the CubeSlacker you love to hate - "PZ" won. The reward was a Chuck Norris DVD - one that looked pretty ridiculous, called Bells of Innocence. After many months of slacking, we managed to coax PZ to write a review of the movie. Take a peek... 
"Bells of Innocence" is a different type of Chuck Norris movie. It was made targeting the Christian adult audience with action, but without gratuitous blood, guts, nudity and obscene language. It's like "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "The Omen" meets "Touched by an Angel" meets "Night of the Living Dead".
Two basic ideas come out: 1) We are sometimes chosen to do things we feel we can not do. 2) We must all choose between good and evil. As for Karate/Martial Arts, one zombie got roughed up a little, very little. Chuck's part is an angel, and as we would expect, he's not a typical angel. His son has the lead role and his grandaughter has a very large supporting role. Some scenes in the movie should have been chopped. They are confusing and add nothing to the storyline. The acting is very weak at some points. (except for Chuck's parts ) The cinematography is very good at times and occasionally very bad. This is no "Dances with Wolves", not even close, no Academy Awards will be earned. Overall, for the target audience, Christian adults, it's OK, just not your typical CN film.
