Changeling

Reviewed on Nov 17 2008

Drama
Starring Angelina Jolie, now you know why I picked her as one of my favorite actresses. She also did a great job in Girl, Interrupted, but she is a mighty presence on film and anything she does. In Changeling she plays a mother who lost her son to a kidnapper and serial killer in 1930's Los Angeles. She is put through hell by the corrupt L.A. police department. It's hard to believe what innocent people have to go through sometimes by evil and unscrupulous people. Angelina takes ...

Appaloosa

Reviewed on Nov 05 2008

Ed Harris wrote the screenplay and directed this superb western in the trend of Lonesome Dove, with Old West justice. Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris team up as honest gunfighters who become hired guns for a town of businessmen against a dishonest gunfighter with a band of killers. The film has profound lines that a real man would understand and love. Renee Zellweger plays a great sophisticated loose woman of the era, as equally magnificent as her rough, tough lady in Cold Mountain. Jeremy ...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Reviewed on Oct 12 2008

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon demonstrates to the entire film industry that great films can be made–films that have honor, dignity, culture, cinematography, great acting, good theme, and entertaining as well.  

  I did wish, however, that the master did not have to die and the young female master could have repented, found God, and lived.  Those changes would have resulted in an even better film.  One of the main problems with ...

Ever After: A Cinderella Story

Reviewed on Aug 20 2008

This is a beautiful movie for adults and children alike.  I particularly liked the fact that the prince was a benevolent ruler and could administer divine justice.  This film also shows the tragedy of jealousy, greed and evil manipulation by those who claim to know God but seek their own desires.  

  I also liked the fact that at the end of the story the prince and his highest spiritual complement overcome all of the obstacles against them and...

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Reviewed on Aug 12 2008

In watching this film I can see the future–animated stars and animated sequels.   The characters in this film were so real that you wondered sometimes if they were graphics at all.  The theme of the seven spirits reminded me of The URANTIA Book's teachings of the seven adjutant mind spirits in man and the five in animals.  

Again the battle between good and evil carries on–this time to other worlds of time and space where ...

Frequency

Reviewed on Aug 04 2008

Frequency holds your attention from the very beginning to the end with excitement and challenges to your belief system.  The theme of time travel is made real, real enough that I believe millions of Americans are going to be educated as to the possibility of not only transcending some of the boundaries of time, but also become more open to the possibilities of: repersonalization (an existing soul's transference into a fetus in a technical manner), rematerialization ...

The Gladiator

Reviewed on Jul 24 2008

For those of us warriors of true justice and others who have lived past lives in the era of the gladiator and watched this film, I'm sure it brought back many emotional feelings and much pain.  While I don't think the details were based on much fact, I'm sure that in general the plot of the story has happened over and over again, century after century.  In this film, The Gladiator, there's a good guy who's a true warrior leader; he has honor...
