Summary: One Of The Best!
Review: This film, by far, is one of my favorite Robert Duvall films. I'm proud to own it on dvd and you should get it as well, if you don't have it already. It starts off a bit slow at first, but then it kicks in and never lets up! Also starring Farrah Fawcett and Billy Bob Thornton. One of the best.

Summary: "We made news in Heaven today, Momma"
Review: This is one of my favorite Robert Duvall movies & is also one of the most inspiring movies I've ever seen. It's really a testament to the amazing talent of one of the greatest actors of all time. I can't believe Duvall didn't win an oscar, but it IS a religious movie & those are not too welcome in Hollywood. Anyway, the dvd has some great bonus features: commentary with Robert Duvall, a documentary on the making of the Apostle, the trailer, & cast biographies. If you haven't seen this & think it might be cheesy, trust me it's not. I felt the same way before I saw it but I quickly realized that this is a movie everyone should see. This movie helped me more than a dozen sermons would've. The performances are heartfelt & very believable, the pacing just right, the scenery is beautiful. This is a powerful movie that stays with you long after you've seen it.

Summary: The Apostle's Epistle
Review: Watch Robert Duvall's 14 year in the making, labor of love 'The Apostle - Collector's Edition' Written, directed, AND personally financed by Robert Duvall in 1998, The Apostle was the culmination of a 14-year effort on the part of its creator, who also cast himself in the starring role as the dynamic southern preacher Sonny AKA "The Apostle E.F." Great supporting cast consisting of Farrah (The Burning Bed) Fawcett, Billy (Sling Blade) Bob Thornton, June Carter Cash as Sonny's devout, southern Baptist "mama" and the incomparable Ms. Miranda Richardson. Many of the minor roles are played by actual
southern ministers and their congregations. This is a film not to be missed... Praise The Lord & Pass The Remote!

Summary: A Film That Finally Gets Christianity Right!
Review: We've all heard and seen films that portray Christians (especially from the South) as villans, fools, bigots, and zealots. At last, from legendary actory Robert Duvall, comes a film that is so riveting and poignant and full of love that it is, quite simply, astonishing. Duvall's Apostle E.F. is no saintly, sinless caricature. He is a man who has heard God from an early age, but is subject to the same vices that plague the rest of us. His struggle with and utter dependence on the Lord will move you. His dedication to rebuilding an old church in Bayou country into a multi-racial love fest is sheer poetry. His fire in preaching the love and forgiveness of Christ, when we know he needs it every bit as much as we do, leaves an indelible mark on us. Even prison does not lift Apostle's need to preach. I've rarely seen a film that is so personal, so touching, and so real. A must-see for Christians and non-Christians. Forget Good Will Hunting and LA Confidential. The Apostle is a real movie, and uplifting experience. Enjoy!!
