Canaan Land

How talented is Richard Rossi! Great acting and honestly a very relatable topic as I've been in a church all my life and seen some corrupt things. I must also mention Dawna Lee Heising, wow she is one beautiful actresses... so glad they put her in this film. In all, a suspenseful film that will have you at the edge of your seat. Controversial? Yes, Entertaining? You bet! Thanks for making this. Canaan Land is a must watch in my book!

This was truly a labor of love for an issue that is deep on the hearts of the churched and unchurched but not openly discussed.. there is something in this movie for everyone...Richard is bold enough to take on this largely indiscussed topic of con men in the church arena and gives a great performance.. it will help tear down the boulders that have been erected for those who have been hurt by hypocrisy... and bring healing and insight on distinguishing a fake faith from the real thing.

In his first major Film Presentation , veteran actor Richard Rossi portrays 'Brother Billy' the most prolific religious Con-Man since Burt Lancaster's 1956 performance in " RAINMAKER " , which puts him in pretty prestigious Company ! He's a Drifter , a Swindler , & a Thief : & he sets his eyes on ensnaring 'Sister Sara Sunday' & Her Truly Religious & Philanthropic Ministry . The Good Sister is played by Screen Legend Rebecca Holden ; & She does so Flawlessly !

In one of the most amusing scenes , the wholly Desirable & Lovely Dawna Lee Heising displays Her Bounteous Comedic Skills as 'Connie' , the Rich , Mansion Living , Beverly Hills Beauty that Billy has Bedded & Fleeced before being exiled . Another of Billy's Gorgeous Conquests is Mila Perkins as 'Pary' , who he merely relieves of Her Jeep . All His other dalliances are revealed throughout this light-hearted religious-romp , as are the people that he just used & screwed-over .

Incredibly Lovely Alex Rinehart makes an appearance as 'Angel' ; & that She Truly is ; & Gorgeous Ramiara Eve is an Investigative 'Reporter' , Hot on Billy's Tail !

There is a massive amount of Special Guest STARS Personal Appearances , beginning with The Original Wonder Woman HerSelf : Lynda Carter ! Others are : Louis Gossett Jr. , Kathy Garver - 'Cissy' from "Family Affair' , Karolyn Grimes - Zuzu from " It's a Wonderful Life " .... Remember 'Zuzu's Petals' ? ; & Many More !

It actually makes a Great Christmas Season Movie ; but it's religious pontifications can be pondered all Year Long !

How does it all turn out ? ... Does Love Win ? ... Can Devine Love replace Carnal Pleasures ? ..... All will be Revealed in the End !

As for me , ,,,, I'm More than Happy to Watch a Movie with Rebecca Holden , Lynda Carter , & Dawna Lee Heising in it All Day Every Day .... They are All just as Beautiful & Magnificent Today as They were when I first saw them on Screen .... Maybe even More-so !!!

This movie grabbed me and wouldn't let go. At first, the character I felt the most for was Sister Sara Sunday (played by Rebecca Holden). Like her, and many other women, I've fallen for the charming narcissist like Brother Billy (played by Richard Rossi). As the film progressed, and more layers are revealed, I gained insight and compassion into why Billy is the way he is. This is the best film I've ever seen about spiritual issues, contrasting real faith with fake religion. It is a work of art about faith, but not a saccharine treacly film like most "Christian movies."

I rarely watch movies these days. Not because there are no movies which are produced well. All the money and craftmanship put into them, all the visual effects are impressive, but I'm still bored. I repeat it, I'm bored. Because my soul is not touched. I'm looking for stories where my human experience and also my deepest longings as a human being are explored. I'm looking for credible portrayals of redemption, of a "much, much greater love" (song at the end of Canaan Land), lifting my spirit, amazing me, making me think. I'm looking for characters that show me what love and life are all about. Canaan Land is such a rare film. It's been made with a tiny budget, but I prefer it over so many multi-million dollar productions because of that.
