A Twelve-Year Night

Reviewed on Jan 11 2019

Uruguay, Argentina, Spain drama — A true story of three political prisoners, one of which becomes the President of the country of his imprisonment, just like Nelson Mandela. He was tortured and kept mostly in solitary for all these years and survived tremendous physical and emotional torture. To me, it is also a story of how destiny overrides the cruelty of evildoers when a soul is meant to live and become a president and leader. Language: Spanish with English subtitles

U571

Reviewed on Nov 14 2007

In this World War II film, when I saw the dress whites of the navy, I was reminded of a photo of my father in his marine dress blues and my uncle in his navy dress whites together with my mother and aunt during the war.  The film connected me with that era and reminded me of many pictures I saw of my parents during that time.  

The film was very authentic.  It stands out as a well-done World War II movie that had teachings about: pride, wanting a ...

Unbreakable

Reviewed on Jun 21 2007

  Clairvoyance is a developed art.  It can be taken away by God or practiced and learned to use for the good of God's kingdom.  It is obvious that the writer director, M. Night Shymalan, who also did The Sixth Sense, either has some level of this gift himself, or has gotten counsel from someone who has developed clairvoyance.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Reviewed on Jul 28 2017

I did not see Valerian, but I saw the trailer. When are they going to stop making these wonderful special effects movies and spending millions of dollars and put teeny-boppers in as the stars? I will not go to see it because of this. What happened to men and women as actors? This to me would make a movie much more credible. And not even in the future, nor now, will the military put teeny-boppers in important positions, like this movie did with the two stars, called Major Valerian ...

Not for the squeamish, but most men would like it. It deals with a Viking tribe that enslaves their captives and make them fight each other. One slave-warrior lives for 20 years and escapes. Unfortunately the ship he escapes in drifts across the ocean to the New World and he has to deal with the primitives. Holds your attention to the very end.
