Pieces of April

Reviewed on Mar 01 2008

If you want to know what a starseed is, a classical example is the lead female role of the character April (played by Katie Holmes) in the film Pieces of April. (It would be interesting to know if the writer, Peter Hedges, studied any of The Cosmic Family, Volume 1.) April has, like many starseed souls, Urantian (first-light-soul) parents and siblings, none of whom understand her. Her decisions in life all seem to be too radical, and her family can just barely stand her ...

Planet of the Apes

Reviewed on Jan 02 2008

This movie could also be called, "A Biography of Planet Earth."  The film is definitely entertaining and the special effects are wonderful.It's too bad that Charlton Heston didn't have this technology when he made the first film.  It was good to see him in this remake, even as an ape.  

  I thought that the film in trying to mix extreme humor with reality missed the mark–particularly with slave trader ...

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Reviewed on Apr 27 2018

A unique story about the creator of the comic book Wonder Woman and his polyfidelity relationship with two women. It's a very well done movie that should win an award in 2018. If it doesn't, it will be because of the subject matter. But it's a subject matter that should be discussed, as there are over 700 million starseed on the planet who have lived in different cultures in other universes, and he and his two wives were starseed; Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, Bella Heathcote. Director: ...

Quills

Reviewed on Jan 09 2008

Geoffrey Rush plays the Marquis de Sade, a character like Rantes in Man Facing Southeast–too good for his own good, misunderstood by the world system, and eventually put into an insane asylum.  Knowing true reality is beautiful, loving, and gentle, he defiantly portrays non-reality and all of its distortions in his writings.  He becomes an enemy of the rich and the powers that be who perpetrate non-reality.The vicious director of the insane asylum, Dr. ...

The Real Dirt on Farmer John

Reviewed on Mar 17 2010

Documentary

An eccentric starseed Midwestern farmer, John Peterson, mixes an alternative lifestyle and quests, art, music, and filmmaking with organic gardening and gets a lot of opposition from neighbors who call his farm a cult and invent stories and gossip of Satan worshiping, drug use, and other nonsense. He overcomes the persecutions to become one of the most successful Community Supported Agricultural programs in the country. I know this story well; Filmmaker Taggart Siegel.

The Red Tent

Reviewed on Apr 07 2015

This is the story of Dinah, the daughter of Jacob of Israel and his wife Leah. Dinah was a half-sister to Joseph of Israel. The story speaks of much of Dinah's sufferings and the pain she felt over the loss of her husband, murdered by her own brothers, and the eventual loss of her son through the politics of the day in Egypt. I believe the writer of The Red Tent, Anita Diamant, may have actually lived during this time period and may have actually been married to one of the 12 sons of Jacob. ...

Reign Over Me

Reviewed on Jan 15 2008

Drama

Once in a while a film comes along that touches the heart and puts you emotionally into the film. Adam Sandler, as Charlie Fineman, proves that he can play a dramatic role even though Director Mike Binder interplays natural comedy with life's circumstances and the agony and ecstasy of living. Charlie loses his wife and 3 young daughters in a plane crash and leaves his dental practice as a doctor and becomes a bohemian, blocking all memories of the plane that crashed into the ...
