OMEN 3 aas depicted in the posters lead film filmgoers to believer damien and GOD would have a battle for the white house and all the weaponry and power both political and military that position bears with it. Instead damien does a brief cameo when the President welcomes him into the Oval Office to appoint him ambassador to england. This was disappointing, with myself holding out for a full blown attack by the forces of evil to toppel the united states in a coup. deprived of this the audience ends up in england for the rest of the film. The film focuses on thorn and a group of priests with daggers that were sanctified by catholic clergy; they are the only thing that can stop damien. If you walk in not expecting alot you'll like this film.

IN 1970 CROSS AND THE SWITCHBLADE came out. The tale of gangs drugs and violence was very popular in filmhouses across the nation. It propelled momentum forward for Christian films and Christian film concepts to be brought forth. Unfotunately the people behind the Christian films like gospel films and billy zeoli failed to see that their time was then. Their time was then and they blew it. This film was churchy but unlike anything the methodists or any other denomination had put out before. Visually the film had a gritty urban feel of filth, guns, ruined buildings and no hope. The book was first a novel. The novel was much grittier and dealt with adult issues better not dealt with on this website. I actually had the privilege as I was growing up to know one of the men who was depicted in the book as having worked with wilkerson. The film is gritty but is a family film and is extremely well made. The dialog may make you cringe but we are talking 1970 here. The dialog is badly dated. The sad thing now film group stands now to turn out quality Christian films. Looks up it's time to pop up the pop corn and go see the PASSION again.

Touched by a angel was a program which became popular in the mid 1990's and gave CBS a much rated ratings boost. In the early 1990's CBS was getting clobbered by shows like HOME IMPROVEMENT and the thursday night comedy block on NBC. Christians for years had begged networks for more family oriented wat they got was a show about two angels on rescue missions from GOD. The show was a huge hit and with other proraming changes CBS got out of the low ratings doledrums. The point of this story is that they listened to their audience. They listened to their audience and a huge hit was born when the right script showed up at CBS. The series had a long run and at this time can be seen in reruns on the HALLMARK CHANNEL.
