Lost Voyage (2000)
I wish I could give it a zero
This movie stunk something awful, and I owe most of the film's disappointment to Judd Nelson's lack of believability. Its a shame because its not a bad plot of having a lost ship into the Bermuda Triangle, and then many years later, the son of a lost passenger goes to the Triangle, hoping to find out where his father went to. It could have been so much better. However, the stylized made-for-TV cinematography went way over the top on special effects, so the point where it looked like an 8th grade school play. Some of the CGI effects are interesting, but the lighting just ruins them. And did I mention that Judd Nelson is as unbelievable as ever? While here he plays a strange character that he sort of fits the bill for, I would not cast him for any role except maybe in a movie about bad actors. Some of the other actors were respectable in this film, and I feel bad for them being put alongside Judd Nelson. Okay, so overall, It is a low budget made-for-TV film, and one shouldn't expect too much from it. It has sophomoric acting, a combination of decent and pathetic special effects that produce a net mediocre special effect value. I suppose that one thing Lost Voyage has in its favor is that it is relatively short. However, Lost Voyage made for lost time more than anything.
Gospel Road: A Story of Jesus (1973)
Johnny Cash at his finest
This is an entertaining look at the Gospel as presented by Johnny Cash (adorned in black, of course) who sings a lot and narrates a bit also. If you like Johnny Cash, this film is quite enjoyable. Also note the blonde depiction of Jesus in this work...just for fun, try to think of five Jewish men who have blonde hair...? Anyway, its a fun presentation of the greatest and most important story of all.
