Somehow I missed this film until recently (2012) on satellite. It's a Francis Ford Copolla produced screenplay and directed film having to do with past lives and other paranormal themes with a scientific element to it, covering the 1930s and the Nazis' quest for paranormal power. Tim Roth, who plays Dominic, is a 70-year-old man who is struck by lightning, and he becomes young again and has supernatural abilities with his mind. It's not a horror film, so don't get scared. It's very ...

The son of a wealthy Senator falls in love with a black young woman. The son is actually raised by an Afro-American butler who is more of a father to him than his biological father. The story has many magic moments between African-Americans and the integrity that they have while enduring racism and being looked down upon, during the early years of the Vietnam War and the Civil Right Movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The whole family can watch this film; Clifton Davis, Stacey Dash.

This is a superbly well-done film with great cinematography, wardrobe, class, dance, and romance between two couples—one in the 1930s and one in the modern era. It's the story of King Edward who fell in love with a commoner and abdicated his throne as King of England to be with her because of the pressure of his family, not so much the English people (for they loved Edward). The film shifts back and forth between the 1930s (the time of Edward) and the modern era (the time of a female ...

This is a beautiful film that combines history, valor, courageousness, and spirituality together to deliver, I think, one of the best films of faith ever made. It shows how the Mexican people fought against the Federalities from 1926-1929 to protect their right to worship Jesus Christ. They called themselves the Cristiadas (which means "Christ The King"). Over 200,000 Mexican Catholics were killed in this four-year period. It also shows how other Mexicans—the Federalities (who were ...
