Diff'rent Strokes (1978)
When The Younger generation had more MUCH more respect for authority, their peers, and each other
and now, in May 2010, the entertainment industry is forever robbed of an icon of the days when prime time television was well worth the watching. Gary Colrman. NO! not little Gary Coleman, just Gary Coleman, plain and simple. A man with his problems in life, as we all have, whatever those problems are, who, none the less, seemed to over look them and make manifest an extraordinary entertainer. Stand tall young man. This is what he would tell those who are at the disadvantage today. Well spoken , Gary. God made a giant in the entertainment industry. His name was Gary Coleman, 1968-2010. Aim High. Look Good. Such is the essence of life itself.
A.D. (1985)
Cut or Uncut - a Fine Follow up to Jesus of Nazareth
I have both the 6 hour cut version of this remarkable masterpiece and the 10 hour uncut version. The Shorter version designed , perhaps for all ages, and well to be shown in a child's Sunday school class. the 10 hour, longer uncut version, containing more of a balance of the Bible / Roman Imperial History aspect of the early decades of the Christian church, and more intended to be viewed in a home environment. Either way, James Mason gave us a fine, EXCELLENT farewell performance as Tiberius, He who was emperor at the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the successor, Caliguila, Claudius and Nero were also exquisitely and masterfully portrayed, Caligula, well.. No one will equal Malcolm McDowell on THAT one, But thats another discussion. A magnificent follow up series to Jesus of Nazareth, look at the right place on line, and you will find............or more aptly........SEEK and ye shall find.
Angels & Demons (2009)
Not the worst movie in the worked, not the best, NOT worth bashing however.
and I am a professing Christian. and a Republican. As for my denomination, that is noons concern except mine and Jesus Christs. I will say i am not a Catholic, and leave that where it is. As for the Illuminati. It was NOT FOunded in the 16th century as the movie asserts, but rather the 18th, as is stated clearly in the wikipedia , in Inglestadt Upper Bavaria Germany, and was founded as , what turned out at the time to be an elder twin sibling organization of , THE SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, as this organization was founded on MAY 1, 1776. The Declaration of Independence was penned July 4, 1776, as anybody my age and older would know from early Childhoold studies of Early American History. Plotwise, it is basically identical, the 4 cardinals kidnapped , as the grandmaster and seneshcal in the davinci code 3 years earlier by a mysterious hashashin , the "hashashin" revealed earlier to be a central figure , ditto DaVinci 2006 , Just face it, When Brown, Hanks and Howard Get Together, Its good Saturday matinée Entertainment The Way it Used to be. Simple as that. Enjoyed. ******* out of **********
Swing Vote (2008)
A dumb, klutzy, lovable man of the people
Ernest "Bud" Johnson, a man of the people, a Good Third Party Independent completely uninformed as to what is going on outside of his own little world of the little town of Texico New Mexico, with a socially conscious daughter Molly , caught up in the Political scene by his innocent daughter, registering him to vote on election day. A strange series of coincidences leaves the classic swing state of New Mexico EVENLY Spilt 50 50 in the popular vote with Bud Johnsons vote the deciding vote , the next ten days to two weeks are the classic roller coaster political ride that neither he nor his daughter had expected. as every debate needs a moderator , KennedY Nixon 1960 to the present, so none is better to moderate than a good man of the people who realizes his faults in life and bellies up to the podium to moderate.
Abraham (1993)
Ingeniously Done Remake of "The Bible" 1966
AND A WONDERFULLY DONE ONE OF THOSE AT THAT! Hershey is stunning in her remake of Ava Gardner's Original Portrayal of Sarah the matriarch (As she is in ANYTHING, INCLUDING MARY MAGDALENE 1988!) Richard Harris, The WIcked Brother Cain, from 1966, is brought back 28 years later to play the Father of the Faithful, AND A WONDERFUL FATHER HE PLAYS TOO! confused at the end of the sacrifice he make to prove his faith to God, as was George C Scott in 1966, He proves himself a Giant of Faith in the End, The Destruction of Sodom And Gomorrah remake was brilliant as was 1966. I would highly recommend this for anybody recently converting to Christianity. ***** out of *****. EXCELLENCE!
The Nativity Story (2006)
A Beatufiul Story of the Birth of Christ
I applaud Home BOx Office for taking the uncharachteristic break from their usual liberal attitude of showing left of center propaganda and , if only for two weeks and eight showings, (I intend to tape them all) airing "The Nativity Story" . I saw this masterpiece of Christian Cinema in Savannah last year, in a local peoples theater, Or neighborhood theater, THere were literally the number of people you could count on the fingers of one hand in the theater, during the showing I attended anyway. But at any rate, Kudos to home BOx office for doing the right thing ON THIS ONE. As this movie was slammed mercilessly by the American Civil Liberties union as well as by Chicago City Council last year. HBO is all politics anyway. BUT I remember HBO doing the right thing with The Jesus FIlm with Brian Deacon , HOWEVER, I don't remember The Last Temptation of Christ ever showing on HBO, IT SEEMS though HBO will conveniently avoid any controversial movie depictng the Life of Jesus, Be it the last temptation of Christ OR the Passion of The Christ,(Did The DaVinci COde ever show on HBO?) I don't remember. But I'm veering off topic. ********** of ********** - Nativity
Caligola (1979)
Remember , Sire, Thou art Mortal
NOT the Cheap, Socially non meritorious Porn as is typical with the X rated Movie, YET Socially significant and redeeming. "For what does it profit a man to gain the entire world and lose his soul" This verse from Saint Marks Gospel from the Land of What was known as Palestine, where Jesus Chrsit Lived DURING THE VERY LIFETIME OF CALIGULA HIMSELF, at the remote and forgotten outpost of Judea and Galilee rang as equally true for Caligula, IVth Caesar of Rome, following Julius, Augustus and Tiberius as it did any man of his day, and of this day. Groomed for the Throne, Caligula goes completely out of his mind with power, He is the Alexander the Great of His Day, Insatiable, he is finally quelled forever when he believes himself truly invincible. Claudius is Emperor. And there is Karma

A documentary with everything
(tsa - tentative spoiler advisory) it was funny, sad, educational, politically incorrect, absolutely irreverent, and a love story, about a man from another country chasing a dream, as it turns out, a nightmare. o big man, you are a wonderful good Ole boy as we say in south east Georgia, and little miss see jay, son, SHE Ain't WORTH IT, she will break your heart and leave you in tears crying on the city streets, yet one will pick you up and dry those tears, o you big beautiful wild man beast of the east, Hes been where you are, Buh-Buh, and He will lead you to your true love, for your true love is real, and never too busy, as Magdalene for the Christ of old wives tales legend. you , brother, are a thing of beauty and an absolute joy to beholden, blessed art thou among all.
