Zeke: Uh, the Powers are looking for you and I had to uh, well, tell 'em where you live. So...
Aaron Corbett: You sent killer angels to my house? What about my family?
Zeke: Well, that's a good point, that's a good point. Now, if you're lucky, Verchiel will spend time questioning and... killing them. Nicely, I'm sure, and, uh, then you'll have time to escape.
Aaron Corbett: What?
Zeke: Yes! Well, they're not your family anyway.
Aaron Corbett: I love them.
Zeke: Oh, that's sweet. I'm sure they appreciate it, but you better run right now.
Aaron Corbett: I'm not gonna run. I'm not a coward like you.
Zeke: Courage is vastly overrated.
Aaron Corbett: Why are you doing this? I am not your precious Redeemer.

Movie Connections:

Followed by "Fallen" (2007)

6 hour mini-series

I watched 'Fallen' last night-Sunday, July 23, 2006, and I agree wholeheartedly with the comments. This was indeed a very accurate and well acted movie. However, no one mentioned anything about an ad that I saw at the end of the movie. They had a very short 'blurb' that stated something to the effect that there will be a 6 hour mini-series about 'Fallen' sometime next year. I wonder if anyone else saw this or knows any more about it?

I also agree with the person who wrote about the 'flaming swords'. When I first saw it, I was ready to diss the movie. But, after watching it, I was pleased to see that this was not treated as a major item in this show, but only as an added attraction. KUDOS!

The only thing I found that could be argumentative about this show was the Angels with wings. I have 'seen' many angels, thanks to suffering 6 heart attacks and surviving triple by-pass open heart surgery! I committed my soul to the Creator before I went into surgery. A few months later the Angels started coming to me night after night, teaching me about the scriptures and what they REALLY meant. They also included a few trips for my viewing pleasure of heavenly things. At no time do I ever recall seeing ANY Angels with wings! However, I might add, with their superb beauty, they had no need for wings. When they wanted to 'FLY', they just did!! No wings necessary. Other than that one small item, I could find no other misconceptions or errors. Like I said above, KUDOS!
