Wow,

I just caught this film on HBO and thought it was great! A finely produced documentary featuring plenty of archival footage of Rosa Parks (The mother of the Civil Rights movement), Martin Luther King Jr. and other important figures of the time. Great narration featuring Mrs. Parks family and friends and other people who were involved with the civil rights movement, such as E.D. Nixon. With quality reenactments, like Mrs. Park's confrontation with the racist bus driver that sparked off the bus boycotts and started a revolution.

This film was thoroughly entertaining, inspirational and uplifting. I recommend this movie to anyone. Great entertainment and great background music to boot!

Mighty Times, yes they were!

I agree, this flick had many boring moments. I love character studies, and this movie was of that type. Movies of this type do plod along as a rule so I wasn't surprised.

But I did like it! I just wish the main characters would have gone through more of a transformation. Towards the happier side of life.

I liked the characters, they were real to me. Paul's character was overly depressed I think, though. Although he does seem to be moving on at the end. That was good.

I didn't find it all that pretentious. I mean, the guy's just into wine, like some people are into motorcycles or rock bands. But overall, worth a watch. Not bad.

This is a really good program with very good writers. There are many subplots that keep you interested and waiting for next week for more answers to the many growing mysteries surrounding the island where a group of plane-crash survivors have wrecked.

I also like how the writers go into the history of each main character, making them more interesting for the watcher. This looks to be a hit.

There are a lot of mysterious goings-on at the island and a lot of drama between the characters of the show.

Great to have some TV that doesn't involve CSI, cops, lawyers or doctors!
