A film starring Jennifer Beals (Paramount, 1983).

A nightclub dancer wants to be a ballerina.

C- (Meh).

Half the movie is just a series of music videos. The music is good, but who wants to watch 45 minutes of music videos? And that's the good half of the movie.

When I was a Senior in High School in 1979-80, we had to work on a subject for an oral book report for a US History class. I was interested in the Kent State shootings since I was about to join the Army and wanted to know about many of the conflicting story lines. My teacher that I had to give the report to was an Officer in the Indiana National Guard so I was nervous to do the report. The book was important on many levels because it was one of the best reviews of the chaos and command and control issues leading up to the Guard killing 4 Students.… (mais)

Lots of emotions are put down in ink here and some random thoughts about what faith might be and after 242 pages you are left with the notion that anyone can be a saint if they team up with other cancer victims. Not the most impressive book intellectually but it’s a short and fast read. And Eszterhas can get to a point when he must. The point of this book seem to be: reconcile with long suffering cancer filled Mom, be surprised at Nazi collaborator dad’s lies, show disgust at church abuse scandals which touch his catholic parish as he returns to faith in Ohio, Lebron James is the new Messiah of NBA basketball. Eszterhas is talented enough to write Flashdance (a classic 80s film) and some other books which I never read. His conversion experience is the backdrop for everything else that gets thrown in here and there is a lot of stuff to sort through. Many times, the book feels like his personal journal extracts but that’s fine with me (UFOs, miraculous healings, the Tilma of Guadalupe, Mel Gibson’s perfect anti-clergy-abuse Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, dealing with his daughter post-divorce). This memoir of faith, as he titles it, is an adult entertainment rounded out with his personal maturation as a man and father. His conversion story is the time he spent ignoring what God was trying to tell him all along. That Eszterhas was always loved by God for no reason other than God is love. He never had to prove anything to God. He just had to live his life open to what God had offered to him at every moment of his life.… (mais)
