The Second Chance (2006)
not quite like the description of movie said
I thought it was a decent enough movie. However, the description of the movie says that it's about two pastors with vastly different backgrounds working together to save an inner city church. 90% of the movie seemed like it was one sided. In fact, I didn't see anything in the movie where the pastor of the inner city church learned anything from the so called rich pastor (I don't think I've seen pastors quite as rich as this one). It just would have been nice if the pastor of the church wasn't always criticizing the other and never having anything to learn from him. Also, seemed a little too Christian filmish. The typical gang members and drug users. Not that there isn't that in the inner city (or anywhere for that matter). But it just seems to planted. Again, over all it's a good movie, it just could have been better.
A Stranger Among Us (1992)
Might have been better with different actress but..
I think Nancy Binder pretty well sums up my view. I'll just say that I can not understand them panning the movie or Melanie's performance. Like in any movie, some actresses would be better,some worse. The movie may have been better with a different actress but I think she did a fabulous job and made the part her own. It has been a while since I've seen the movie but I thought she did a fabulous job. Too often so called movie critics are so out of touch from what the average movie goer is looking for. I thought the movie did an excellent job of personalizing the hasadic atmosphere and the effect it had upon Melanie in changing her outlook on life.
Ghostly Encounters (2005)
True
I so agree with your opinion. It is presented very bare bones, with little explanation. Much better than the other voyeuristic ghost hunting shows. Well worth watching. I read some comments from some who believe they have the 'scientific' explanation to what these people experienced, such as with the 'Hag' story. I was thinking also that she probably was experiencing sleep paralysis until she mentioned her roommate telling her about the/a spirit with her telling the roommate. I would not classify myself necessarily a True Believer or nonbeliever. I try to look at the situation with an open but rational mind, not being bound to my world view. I would just say, things are sometimesnot as easily classified and explained as we would like.
