This is exactly how I learned how to read. My grandmother gave me what we call the "AT list" You know, words that end it "-at" like, bat, fat, sat, you know. This is exactly the kind of reading this show teaches. And it teaches family values too! I think we should incorporate it into school cirriculums. I know I would! (And I'm a teaching assistant!)
I spent a lot of time last year teaching children how to read, but using the methods described in the teacher's book just got the kids more and more confused. So I brought a game of Scrabble to school with me, and followed what they do on the show, I based the entire lesson on one sound, or taught them how silent "e" can change vowel sounds, like pin and pine or plan and plane. And the kids started learning! it was fantastic!
Great for kids. 9 out of 10!

Seen better? Yep. Seen worse? Absolutely! I saw this movie at school. As a Christian (Proud to be one, by the way!) I did find it quite interesting. A few parts freaked me, but then, I'm easily freaked. As an actress (amateur, of course), I did find the acting quite good. Cameron was believable, and whoever played Carpathia actually had me very very upset with him. He was that creepy. That's as close as anyone has ever come to an accurate anti-Christ (hey! The Bible said he would be suave, calm, and popular!)
Actually, I haven't read the books, but I did listen to the live-action radio dramas weekly. Truly, the radio drama was a lot better, but I like radio acting more anyway, so I'm sort of biased that way. The sequel was just as frightening, and it's perhaps the best Revelation movie since "Thief in the Night" which scared the living day-lights out of me! Of course, I was only 8 then!
Everyone around knows when I write these things, I always say that what I've written is my opinion. How do you know if you like it unless you SEE it? Rent it and see for yourself before forming an opinion, no matter what ANYONE says!! After all, One man's trash is another man's treasure, and vice-versa!

I've never seen a Brando film before. I've never seen a Napoleon film before. But after studying Napoleon in World history class and seeing Desiree, I've come to the conclusion the Brando must be a descendant of Napoleon or something. He IS Napoleon. I wasn't that interested when my grandmother suggested it, but I don't take things at face value. I check it out. True it's not incredibly accurate, historically speaking, though a lot of it is true and someone certainly did their research. If I recall my history class correctly someone once called Napoleon "The greatest Godless man alive." or something like that. But Brando IS Napoleon. No Question.
