Amazing Grace —
This was one of the most unadvertised, but most wonderful movies I have seen in a long while. If you do the research on the song "Amazing Grace" and then watch this movie. Well, it will mean so much more to you. Gone are the days of a GREAT story in a movie, not surrounded by cars blown up, nudity, and foul language. This is a throwback to what it is like to have just a good script and good actors to bring it about. It is also so woderful to see something that does , as one reviewer put it, "stirs the soul". Hollywood has thrown us in the abyss with what they produce as "the norm". This movie just shows us how far down that trail we have let ourselves be led.
