The Passion of the Christ *** (2004, Jim Caviezel, Monica Bellucci, Maia Morgenstern) – Classic Movie Review 1029
Co-writer/co-producer/director Mel Gibson’s 2004 biblical epic is a totally gruelling but ultimately uplifting and thought-provoking religious experience. Jim Caviezel is the noble embodiment of Jesus Christ, betrayed in the Garden of Gethsemane then tortured in […]

Primal Fear **** (1996, Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Edward Norton, John Mahoney, Alfre Woodard, Frances McDormand) – Classic Movie Review 471
