Murder Ordained (1987)
This movie, I believe is true
I think this movie is excellent. I have followed this case for many years now and I have spoken to Dave Racer thru e-mail who wrote the book about this case and he was strongly trying to get me to see the other side. I read the book, I have seen the movie and I still feel the movie was accurate. I often wondered what the trooper, John Rule thought of the book caged bird and I just finished reading a newspaper article from 2004 that stated he did in fact read the book and he said he was even more convinced of what he believed to have happened. I warred with myself for years over Tom Bird's guilt or innocence and I personally believe he was somehow involved if not directly. The movie is dramatized in places but I think anybody can tell by watching it, that some places are speculation and not fact but I think it was pretty darn accurate even with the dramatization.
Forgotten Sins (1996)
Forgotten Sins
When I first started watching this movie, it started out on a high note. I was immediately captivated but it didn't take long for it to lose me as it was a really strange movie. The acting by John Shea wasn't up to his usual stuff. The movie was rather slow moving and I do have to say the first part of the movie captivated me enough that I had to watch the whole movie to see how it ended. Forgotten sins was interesting because there have been several similar cases of repressed memories in the past. One movie in particular is Fatal Memories in which a woman starts to remember abuse as she watches her child play. Fatal Memories and Forgotten Sins were rather similar because of repressed memories. I really like Fatal Memories a lot whereas Forgotten Sins just didn't have the same luster as Fatal Memories. I would still say it is good enough to captivate you til the end though. I would like to know if this is a true story or not. I thought it was but couldn't find anything about it on the internet.
