Elysia

Sometimes the lessons we learn about life when we are growing up are forgotten when we become adults; this show helps to remind us of what we learned. It is a bit campy, but that is half of the fun of the show. The characters are people that we all knew at some point in our lives, but the bond that they share is not something that we can all say that we have. If you are searching for 30 minutes of campy fun, and a chance to look back on your adolescence then this is the show for you.

Jason Behr and Dean Stockwell deliver amazing performances as a father and son coming to terms with (the son's) homosexuality and (the father's) inability to show love and affection. I purchased this film without knowing much about it, and was pleasantly surprised by a powerful storyline, award winning perormances by Jason Behr, Dean Stockwell, Robert Keith, and talented writing and producing by Victor Salva.

Stigmata was not quite what I expected, it had great special effects, and a great storyline; but what I was expecting was a horror flick. The film had shocking moments throughout the entire two hours, but more so than anything it made you think, "Gee, what is my religion & my beliefs?". This caused a two hour debate between myself and my friends that I saw the movie with. I recommend Stigmata, but don't go see it if you are looking for horror of the gruesome bloody kind.
