After so many painful memories of too many Lit classes with far too much Faulkner I almost turned off this movie the minute the announcer on TCM said his name in relation to this movie. Well I'm glad I did, though I can't say this movie hasn't cost me. This is not a feel good movie, it rips your heart out. I don't tend to like Faulkner, he always seemed a bit pretentious in comparison with contemporaries like Hemingway. This movie/story is as far from pretentious as anything could be but with all the depth and heart kept in. If anyone every asked me what a truely good person would be like, I could only point to Duvall's masterful portrayal of Fulkner's heartrending character. This film is deliberate in its simplicity and that may turn some people off. It's a story about simple people in a simple setting, which may seem alien to our modern over-stimulated brains. However, it all works beautifully to create an incredibly real and touching slice of life. I wouldn't recommend this to people who need a lot of action in a movie or even people who aren't movie buffs. Also, you likely need to be a fan of drama to like this film and not find it slow. Then again, I hate drama but adored this movie so maybe you should take a chance.

This album is the EPITOME of annointed Gospel music...The title track carries a point that I can personally vouch for:"Give Jesus a chance before your time RUNS OUT,because no man is promised to even HAVE a tommorrow!!The(rhetorical)question is asked on this song:"WHO promised you tommorrow?!?" "BETTER choose the Lord TODAY,because"tomorrow"very well might be TOO LATE!!This question is even better:"And who said tommorrow would ever come,for YOU?!?"My favorite line(so truthfully)declares:"Your"tommorrow"could very well begin TODAY!!" Believe me,this is the SOUNDEST advice you'll EVER hear,because in July 2003 I thought I had YEARS to make up my mind(at my leisure)and choose Jesus as the Lord of my life,only to(finally)emerge out of a COMATOSE state in a hospital(weeks later) to the news that I had suffered a MASSIVE stroke,been through MULTIPLE brain surgeries and had avoided death by the"skin of my teeth"!! That was a BOMBSHELL,because had I died without my(entire lifes' worth of)sins being FORGIVEN(By Jesus'bloodshed on the Cross)I'll give you three guesses as to what I WOULD'VE"woke up"to!!! Like the song discusses,all my life I kept saying:"tommorrow"when contemplating giving up my wicked ways and living FOR Jesus!! This entire album(especially the title track) is something EVERYONE ought to really listen(and take HEED)to!!!Don't make the same mistake I did!!"Just Don't Wanna Be Loved"touches on how Jesus has made the opportunity to experience an ETERNITY of JOY and bliss in Heaven a totally FREE gift(Since He's ALREADY paid the"price")for us all,so anyone who refuses to accept this INCREDIBLY GENEROUS offer apparently just doesn't WANT to be loved!! The ONLY thing Jesus requires from us to be able to reap the everlasting"rewards"of citizenship in Heaven is a simple"yes"from us!! So the songs title is an explanation/answer to why anyone would reject such a"gift"..These following lines are the epitome of sef-evidence:"If you turn-away My gift,to follow after a MYTH,If you'd RATHER be decieved,then I MUST believe":"You just DON'T wanna be loved!!" "If you turn-away the light just to walk in the NIGHT,I haven't heard a VERBAL"no"but your ACTIONS show:"You just don't wanna be loved!!" "You REFUSE to take my hand,then I'll UNDERSTAND:"You just DON'T wanna be LOVED!!" "So come and take My hand and I will lead you FAR away,your TOMORROWS' will be MUCH brighter than your yesterday!!" "I will set you FREE if you turn TO Me!!" "Why wont you just LET Jesus love you?!?" "Bring Back the Days of Yea and Nay"touches on simpler times when everything was either"right"or"wrong",up or down,in or out,black or white without all the shades of grey that we must try to examine carefully in these current times!! This following line sums it all up:"Bring back the days of yea and nay,when we could PLAINLY"see"the way,when it was up to US to choose whether to win OR lose!!" This line rings oh,so true:"I remember when life was so SIMPLE,Parents were a light,through THEM we learned what was RIGHT,but it aint like that ANYMORE!!" "I remember when life was so EASY,Boys turned into MEN,the girls to women(back)THEN,but it aint like THAT anymore!!" "Caught in the midst of complexity,we search for"Yea"and"Nay"!!" "We KNEW where we belonged,what was right and what was WRONG!!" "Lord I Believe"is an excellent song dealing with faith in the Lords' promises...Hardly anyone has TOTAL confidence/faith in God,though we try our best..This fact is conveyed nicely in the line:"Lord I(ALMOST)believe(completely)(so please)HELP my UN-belief!!" "Trust In God"is a very good song with a simple(yet CRUCIAL)message to cease worrying/fretting(needlessly)about situations because God is YET in(total)control of whatever problem that"unsettles"you,and NOTHING bad can possibly occur to you unless He ALLOWS it!! Point is:"God is undeniably in CONTROL,so just relax and TRUST Him!!The(fittingly)solemn tone of this song compounds the importance of this fact!!"Restoration"is a great song focusing on Gods' Longsuffering in dealing with those who had turned their backs on Him,but remained in His favor to the point that He readily accepted them back into His saving grace!! This following line is PROFOUND:"WHAT would I know about being restored if I HADN'T lost my place,WHAT would I know about His MERCY if I HADN'T gotten out of GRACE?!?"These pleas to God from a Backslider sound so genuine:"Restore me,restore to me the JOY!! I WANT to come BACK"home"yes!!" "Wont You BRING me back?!?" "I NEED to be RESTORED!!" I LOVE the"happy ending"to this saints"struggles":"I'm RESTORED,and I'm GLAD about it!!" This is an absolutely ASTOUNDING album where each song will"stoke the coals"of your innate desire to embrace ETERNAL life!! INFINITELY annointed album!! An absolute CLASSIC!!

Nice little import job from the UK indie label RPM.More or less a companion CD for the band's self-titled disc(see my review).A total of sixteen tracks in which the first eight are a collection of demos and alternate edits of "Blow-Up" from the motion picture that I HEARD the band didn't get to appear in and "Am I Glad To See You" as well as couple of tunes from the TV show Top Gear,"Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" and their signature song "Revolution".The next eight are a REAL treat,a 27-minute live recording from their appearance at the 'Christmas On Earth' December 1967 gig.With tunes like "Caught In A Web","My White Bicycle",drummer Twink's "Mr.Rainbow" and "Strawberry Fields Forever",one gets to experience a one-time event.The sound is a bit dismal,but VERY acceptable considering it's rarity.Old time psych fans shouldn't have a problem with it.From this fan's view,it looked like Tomorrow was highly involved with THAT time's underground music scene.Great psychedelic cover,wouldn't you say?
