The Judas Project (1990)
Criticisms and praises
This was a movie that purported to be a modern-day retelling of the life of Christ. Such a lofty goal is understandably hard to reach, and this movie, close though it came, didn't quite reach that goal.
For starters, there's the name. Why Jesse? Why not instead Joshua, which is the more precise transliteration of the Hebrew "Yeshua", which is the Hebrew form of "Jesus"? Beyond that, there's also the fact that his teachings aren't quite correctly quoted, and the miracles are a bit understated. (The small "multitude" by the sea could have been at least bigger.) And why didn't we see more of Jesse being resurrected than just one appearance to Peter?
But the overriding theme of the movie is the power of love, even God's love for us, and that only through Christ can we have eternal life. Also, the transfiguration and crucifixion scenes are decently done.
Not bad: but it could have been so much better.
Days of Our Lives (1965)
Great series
Great acting, a bit fantastical storywriting (but that's what you expect in soaps), and so many twists in the various storylines that you just HAVE to tune in for more each day! Just for example, the bit about Hope/Gina/John/Stefano/Bo. That storyline kept me so much on edge that it, combined with the Sami-on-death-row storyline, got me permanently hooked on the show. Keep producing great storylines, Days, and keep doing great acting, all on Days, and I'll keep tuning in!
