Jesus of Nazareth

starring: Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine, Claudia Cardinale, Valentina Cortese
directed by: Franco Zeffirelli

Release Date March 01, 2002
Very nice interpretation of the story of Christ's life. The blue eyes of actor Robert Powell is bright, dense and expresses both compassion and suffering borne by the Passion that contributes to the brightness of this beautiful film.

"Jesus of Nazareth" has converted one of my fellow class mate. I recommend it with that of "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.

The Dirty Dozen

starring: Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes
directed by: Robert Aldrich

Release Date May 03, 2005
After I read the book, I had to see this movie. How would this all- star cast of moviedom's all-time tough guys, Marvin, Bronson, Borgnine, Savalas, Casavettes, put on a production and not overshadow each other? Well, they did so beautifully, and we have an extremely entertaining movie, as Marvin who is trying to redeem himself with superiors is given a suicide mission that he must execute with a troop of dangerous criminal types and murderers. It is unforgettable and entertaining, to say the least.

McHale's Navy: Season Four

starring: Ernest Borgnine, Tim Conway
directed by: Sidney Lanfield

Release Date November 18, 2008
The phrase "shape up or ship out" holds a lot of water this season for Lt. Commander Quinton McHale and his fun-lovin' crew of goof-offs and gamblers who were transferred to Italy for the show's final 30 episodes in McHale's Navy - Season Four!

After 3 seasons set on the South Pacific island of Taratupa, "McHale and his pirates" are reassigned to duty near the town of Voltafiore where they run afoul the shady Mayor Lugatto (Jay Novello) while continuing to oppose blustery Captain Binghamton and his jittery aide Lt. Carpenter, who are joined this season by Colonel Harrigan (Henry Beckham) and General Bronson (Simon Scott).

Also joining in on Season Four's capers, schemes and hijinks is local Dino Barone (Dick Wilson). As with co-star Tim Conway ... Read More:

Gattaca (Special Edition)

starring: Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal, Xander Berkeley, Jayne Brook
directed by: Andrew Niccol

Release Date March 11, 2008
To understand Gattaca, it helps to know a little history.

About a century ago, progressives took up what the New York Times in 1912 called the "wonderful new science" of eugenics. Because of improvements in medicine and public health, eugenists said, the "unfit" were having more children than the "fit." Their solution included both positive eugenics--encouraging the "fit" to have more children, and negative eugenics--preventing the "unfit" from having children.

Forced sterilization laws in some 37 states were their greatest achievement, with California being the most zealous in applying its law. But legislation in more conservative states, particularly in the South, was blocked by claims that forced sterilization was unconstitutional. That barrier ... Read More:

From Here to Eternity

starring: Claude Akins, Harry Bellaver, Ernest Borgnine, Willis B. Bouchey, John Bryant

Release Date October 23, 2001
From Here to Eternity is more than the classic scene of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster rolling around on a beach, covered in ocean waves. It's a story about America during World War II. It's about human beings trying to live normal lives during an abnormal time. Taking place just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, this is more than a war movie. It's a human story of love, honor, humor, and hope. Anyone who enjoys real-life drama will appreciate this well-written and well-acted story.From Here to Eternity (Superbit Collection)

BASEketball

starring: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dian Bachar, Yasmine Bleeth, Ernest Borgnine, Bob Costas

Release Date December 29, 1998
I saw this when it came out, watched it once--but not all the way through and then got rid of it. It was SO very tacky. It was very, very low budget. Poor acting. Ignorant.

These guys need to stay behind the scenes and do South Park. Their over-the-edge humor and voices are more histerical than their acting.

Stay away from this film. (gag) And watch South Park instead.
