This has to be one of our
favorite spiritual films.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Past,
present, future. Through time and space, one man embarks on a bold 1000-year
odyssey to defeat humankind's most indomitable foe: Death. Hugh Jackman
plays that man, devoted to one woman (Rachel Weisz) and determined to
protect her from forces that threaten her existence. His quest leads him to
a Tree of Life...and to an adventure into eternity. Darren Aronofsky (Pi,
Requiem for a Dream) directs, continuing his string of imaginative,
involving filmmaking with a tale alive with ideas and filled with
astonishing vistas. "Not many films can blow your mind and break your heart
at the same time, but this one will"
Peaceful Warrior is a
inspirational movie that I highly recommend. Peaceful Warrior' is one of
those rare films that both entertains and teaches without sacrificing one
for the other. The production values are high, the dialogue believable and
the performances strong. Scott Mechlowicz was definitely the right choice to
play the role of Berkley gymnast Dan Millman and Nick Nolte delivers one of
his best performances in years as the mysterious Socrates, garage attendant
and "New Age" Zen Master. Add to the mix Amy Smart as Dan's love interest
Joy and you have a little romance as well. The message well presented and
the actors are amiable.

Robin Williams and Annabella
Sciorra star in this visually stunning metaphysical tale of life after
death. Neurologist Chris and artist Annie had the perfect life until they
lost their children in an auto accident; they're just starting to recover
when Chris meets an untimely death himself. He's met by a messenger named
Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and taken to his own personal afterlife--a freshly
drawn world reminiscent of Annie's own artwork, still dripping and wet with
paint. Meanwhile a depressed Annie takes her own life, compelling Chris to
traverse heaven and hell to save Annie from an eternity of despair.

"In the beginning was the void teeming with infinite possibilities of which
you are one."
If I could give only one movie to every person in the world, it would be
this
ground-breaking quantum fable. Part documentary, part narrative drama, and
part visual hallucinogen, this is a film that blows the door off the
metaphysical closet. Everyday folks are realizing that they are not alone in
contemplating the nature of reality, exploring the convergence of science
and spirituality, and yearning for something more to the human experience.
What the Bleep Do We Know!? blends interviews with scientists,
neurobiologists, quantum physicists, and a 35,000 year old being with live
action and wondrous special effects. Oscar winner Marlee Matlin plays a
jaded photographer named Amanda who falls down a metaphysical rabbit hole.
Through a series of mind-bending events, Amanda is forced to confront what
she thought was reality-as well as the source of her boredom, anxiety, and
self-contempt.
In light of quantum physics (which, in a nutshell, is the physics of
probabilities), the filmmakers explore the concept of multiple realities
existing at once. While parallel, alternate universes are the stuff of Star
Trek, this concept isn't so far fetched considering scientists have produced
a particle of light that exists in two places at the same time. Not only
that, electrons and the nuclei of atoms completely disappear and reappear
all the time. Where do they go? If this happens on an atomic level, what
does this mean for the macro level?
Bad romantic comedies make you
scoff at their absurdity; good ones make you wish your life was that absurd.
Just Like Heaven is just smart and likable enough to trigger that wishing.
David (Mark Ruffalo) finds an amazing apartment in San Francisco--only to
discover it's haunted by the spirit of the previous tenant, an overachieving
doctor named Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon). There's something not quite
right about Elizabeth's afterlife; against his better judgment, David agrees
to help her investigate her life...but finds himself digging into his own as
well. The plot takes a twist, but Just Like Heaven doesn't rely on the
surprise alone; the revelation takes the story in a new and just as
entertaining direction. Witherspoon and Ruffalo are two of the best romantic
leads around, but the surprise is how well their contrasting flavors (perky
and moody, respectively) mesh, creating a sparky, engaging chemistry.
Crisply directed by Mark Waters who carefully keeps the supernatural from
getting silly and the romance from getting gooey.
A young New York bank executive,
Sam (Patrick Swayze), is killed, on the street, at a moment in his life when
everything seems to be going his way. After his death, Sam sticks around, as
a spirit. He attends his funeral; watches his beautiful girlfriend, Molly (Demi
Moore), drift grief-stricken through the spectacular loft they had just
moved into; and then devotes himself to protecting her from the people who
killed him. Through a reluctant psychic (Whoopi Goldberg), he tries to
communicate with Molly; later, an experienced ghost (Vincent Schiavelli)
teaches him how to move objects and break stuff. In this movie, death is
treated as if it were merely a form of disability, one of those handicaps
we've seen people struggle bravely with in TV movies-something for the
individual to triumph over, with will power, hard work, and love.
