Hollywood and bible movies

[Pearl]

It was originally a mini series.......5 nights.....two hours per night , or something close to that...


Here’s a bit of trivia......watch Robert Powell.....He was not allowed to blink in any of the scenes....

When it first aired here in the UK it was a series of hour long programmes spread over 12 or 13 weeks. I have tried to find it to watch again.

Here's a bit more trivia - Robert Powell's photo in his role as Jesus appears on icons and Google more than any other.

I’ve been thinking about starting a free trial of PureFlix because there’s some movies on it that look good.

There are lot's of great movies on there but, I cancelled two times because it kept buffering and took forever to watch a movie. Maybe they improved...lemme know!

It's worth remembering that there are smaller privately-produced religious films around that aren't released to cinemas.
For example here's a snippet from one I came across on youtube-

Try you tube .....it’s on there all the time....I watch some of the great snippets.....like when he is before Pilate....the Writing and Acting is simply magnificent

The controversial "The Last Temptation of Christ' is interesting because Jesus chooses to be saved from the cross and live out his life as an ordinary family man with wife and kids, but in the end realises his mistake and asks to be put back on the cross to fulfil his destiny, and his wish is granted-

This movie was so super controversial when it came out.....I had to travel over 100 miles to find a theatre that would play it....there were protesters outside......the movie was Unbiblical but in the end it made you better appreciate Jesus’ Sacrifice.... inaccurate , but in the end it was a Positive experience...

This entire scene when Jesus was put before the Pharisees was excellent .....the superb writing actually made the Pharisees appear human as opposed to the “ Snidely Whiplash” characterization in most movies.....lol....this makes me want=to go back and see the movie again....I’ve probably seen it twenty times.....it’s “ that” good!

A.D.: The Bible Continues (also known as A.D. Kingdom and Empire) is a really good series. It is based on the beginning of the book of Acts, chronicling what the Apostles go through after Jesus dies and is resurrected. I know it use to be on Netflix. Not sure where it can be streamed at the moment.

Here's Jesus and the woman at the well from another small privately-funded film (sorry can't remember the title)-

"Full of Grace" was an interesting movie - It's a fictional story of the time around of Mary's death. I found the movie a little slow moving but Mary's speech on her death bed made it all worth watching.

(I don't know why it's age restricted. It's been a while since I watched it but I don't recall anything that wouldn't be G-rated)
