Edge of the Garden (2011)
Time Travel Romances
In the tradition of Somewhere in Time, Kate & Leopold and The Gate House, Edge of the Garden reminds me of another very similar time travel romance movie from Hallmark Hall of Fame. When I first saw The Love Letter (1998), I decided that time travel romances were my absolute favorite, and this movie did not disappoint. It may be similar in structure but, in its own romantic way, it stands on its own.
Keep up the good work, Hallmark – I hope you make more of these types of movies!
Only one question - can roses and hyacinths bloom at the same time? A beautiful garden played a key center point in bringing the main characters together. At one point during the movie, it was mentioned these two flowers were blooming simultaneously. Hyacinths are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and roses, as well as most of the flowers mentioned, are not early spring blooming. A very trivial point, considering this classic movie also deserves to be part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
Corrupting the Lamb
The one thing that was not thought of when this movie was made - it was the FACT that Jesus Christ had to be perfect in order to be the PERFECT Sacrificial Lamb of God. Fantasies in the form of "temptations" by Satan would only serve to make Him less perfect than He is - especially "fantasies" of lust. God could not - and would not - allow Satan to do that. The writer also did not stop to think that Satan was not privy to God's plan of salvation at the time. Having Christ crucified was exactly what he wanted - that once He died, Satan would triumph, so there was no need for a "last temptation". As far as I am concerned, this movie is a temptation only in the mind of the writer. His fantasies are not God's.
