Richard Gere's King David:This movie has some excellent scenes but departs from the Bible account in many places. Richard Gere plays a very somber David. I think David probably laughed and cried a lot if the Psalms are any indication. Worth watching. Read the book for the real story. |

Good Show:I really liked this movie. It's a good adventure story, with NOswearing, or other questionable behaviour. Something pretty much everyone can watch. I wish there were a lot more of this type of films out there! |

Very Enjoyable:This was a great film to watch. The acting was excellent all the way through the film. Diana Rigg and Sean Connery in the same film is a can't miss and Colin Friels was their equal, every performance from all the actors was just fantastic. I wish this was on DVD. |

Review: Love the movie, And I Want it on DVD:I absolutely love this movie, and MGM needs to get off their can and release this on DVD. My VCR broke, I'm not buying another one and MGM so kindly made this movie copy-protected, so now I can't even get it transferred to DVD on my own. I gue... |

 | Paradise Road (1997) [Read More ...]
Description: Earnest and well-meaning, this film also accumulates power as it goes along, despite its inability to generate any moral complexity. But then how complex can you get in a story about the Japanese imprisonment and mistreatment of an international group of women (including Glenn Cl... |
