The Overture

Reviewed on Apr 01 2008

This beautiful film, about a master musician who plays the wooden harp, is captivating visually, aesthetically, and philosophically. Every musician needs to see this superb film on the making of a true musician. The film also points toward the fact that great musicians are called by God to be a musician and need to be ever-aware of falling to their own pride and greed and desire for fame. Filmed in Thailand. Anuchit Saphanphong, Adul Dulyarat, Arratee Tanmahapran, Narongit Tosa-nga, ...

Men of Honor

Reviewed on Mar 17 2008

I usually don't like to see Robert De Niro playing anything outside of a dramatic role. I don't think he should ever attempt comedy, even though I think he is a great actor.  I thought he was masterful in The Mission. (I wish he desired God in real life like he did in that movie; he would be here in Divine Administration helping us to produce our first film).  I also liked him in The Deer Hunter–a film  that took me back to my ...

Modigliani

Reviewed on Mar 14 2008

This film was written and directed by Mick Davis. Co-starring Andy Garcia, Elsa Zylberstein, Eva Herzigova. Andy Garcia brilliantly plays the passionate Italian/Jewish artist, Amedeo Modigliani, who was contemporary with Picasso. Andy Garcia's character, as most artists, suffers from non-recognition. To deal with this, he turns to alcohol and drugs, but his great passion for life makes him loved by all. According to the film, Picasso (in his arrogance and success) is competitive with ...

FAMILY FILM

John Cusack plays David, a published author who adopts a little boy who thinks he's from Mars. Of course, my definition of this little boy would be a starseed, with many past lives, who definitely is out there, but in a very lovable way. Even in the movie, David's friend (played by Amanda Peet) says that this little boy is an old soul. A good film for the whole family to enjoy and learn from. Also starring Joan Cusack.

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 ...

Across the Universe

Reviewed on Feb 29 2008

Directed by Julie Taymor, this musical goes beyond hip to I would say cosmic hip! Using Beetles' songs, she tells the story of the sixties, incorporating talented artists like Joe Cocker, Bono, Dana Fuchs, and newcomers Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood. Selma Hayek even does a dance routine. The arrangements of the Beetles' tunes will knock you out, by arranger Elliott Goldenthal. Watch the over 1-hour special features.

The Omega Code

Reviewed on Feb 10 2008

The Omega Code is Trinity Broadcastings's Paul Crouch and son's attempt to produce a Hollywood-type action film based upon their view of biblical interpretation of prophecy. (The film was directed by Robert Marcarelli.) In my opinion, money spent on this film could have advanced the kingdom more if they would have produced a more non-Hollywood film–less violence and worldly associations.  A more family-oriented film could have reached secular America just ...
