Call to Glory: Call to Glory (1984)
An excellent show, not given a fair chance
Call to Glory contained many elements that made for an excellent show. It had a strong cast (Nelson, Pickett, Shue) that seemed natural in their roles; there were many exciting, interesting or thrilling aircraft scenes; but most importantly, it had well-written stories with strong family-values themes.
The network that aired this show never gave it a fair chance to build a following as it kept getting moved around the schedule.
The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1998)
Excellent Film
This is not just an excellent film about Hank Greenberg, it is an excellent film about discrimination, and how one man took the high road to overcome it. This is a film that should be shown to young people in civics or history classes as the basis for discussion of anti-semitism in North America.
Emma (1996)
Pretty, but it dragged
Emma is beautifully photographed with wonderful costumes and settings. The film is a visual delight. However, I kept asking myself why I was still watching it. It dragged on terribly and many of the characters were so annoying. I was actually wishing someone would shove a handful of Mrs. Elton's sandwiches in her mouth! ("I would never claim they could be used as a gag, but my friends assure me they work wonderfully!") This was a cross between a bad afternoon soap opera and an overdone Saturday Night Live skit.
