DVD of the week

My spouse and I were going to go see the new movie Click today but we just couldn't muster the enthusiasm to go see it on the big screen; it's definitely a DVD movie. In the meantime, we rented the film End Of The Spear, newly out on video. Spear, which is based on a true story, came out earlier this year amidst controversy by the religious right over gay actor Chad Allen's casting in the lead role. He plays the head missionary, Nate Saint, one of five guys who hope to integrate themselves into the Waodani tribe in order to facilitate peace in Ecuador. The five are killed and as a result the women of the men live with the tribe to show them that not all foreigners are killers. The Waodani tribe were notorious for their killing of each other. Chad Allen does a good job and the movie is excellent; it's definitely a must see. I've also included a link to a website of the film for a better idea of the timeline that the film covers. The music is haunting and beautiful and while there are a few moments that are almost too overly sentimental, it's a wonderfully directed film that is truly touching. Rent it today.

Here's the link for the film. http://www.endofthespear.com/
