Nothing. I suspected as much, since they went so blatantly with the debunked characterization of Mary Mag. as a prostitute. Aagh. But the music was decent and the twist that Pilate was under pressure b/c of an impending visit by the emperor was a nice touch.

Don't be too hard on Cliff Curtis. Sometimes it's the material and you can't really do much with it. Or maybe you are right -- and a really good actor could make the part sizzle. Nevertheless, New Zealand does have a proud legacy of great acting, particularly considering Xena Warrior Princess and Hercules, the Legendary Journeys.

The big short is also playing at our theatre and I just thought I had made a decision on Risen. LOL LOL Dang you learned people. I was looking forward to see things from the "Roman perspective". Be advised I also enjoyed the latest "Exodus", despite the objections. Starring other actors from "the company of nations." LOL<br /><br />nckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
