the next voice you hear, May 22 2001
This review is from: Next Voice You Hear (VHS Tape)
this is a great midnight movie (especially when it rains) since one of the highlights of the movie is the "rain sequence" when god demonstrates his power. A definite feel good movie, abit dated, but reminds us all that the "family" (whatever that means to each individual) whether it's a gay couple, a widow and her pet doggie, or a single mom with 3 kids, is what we basically all have and should cherish the moments and work through our fears (movie time is during the beginning of the cold war). I enjoyed it and liked it in black and white (pretty good acting too).

STRONG FAITH FROM YESTERYEAR, Mar 5 2001
This review is from: Next Voice You Hear (VHS Tape)
An average working man and his family discover, along with the rest of world, where true peace of mind comes from. To add to the story, God contacts us via radio. In 1950 when this film was released, television was still attempting to establish itself into the American home. This great film was directed by William Wellman, who also directed the classic 1927 movie "Wings". It stars James Whitmore (veteran actor, seen in recent years in the Miracle Gro commercials), Nancy Davis (Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan's wife) and Tom D'Andrea (Gillis from TV's "Life of Riley".)

Fear vs. Faith, Aug 14 2000
This review is from: Next Voice You Hear (VHS Tape)
I first saw this film when I was about 10 years old on television. I never forgot it or the impact it had on me at the time. I remember it being suspenseful, even scary. I did not see it again until I was an adult. It still has impact. The movie actually raised questions of faith and fear. I am a counselor in a rehab for adolescent males and have used the movie in a spirituality group. It really made for an excellent discussion. A good film that holds it own however you view it: spiritual, fantasy, or suspense.
