Journey to the Unknown (1968)
Kindred Spirit of the Twilight Zone
This series barely lasted one season, yet I still remember several episodes after nearly 40 years. It was intelligent, thought provoking and yes...a bit on the creepy side. The episode with Stefanie Powers is still my favorite of the series. It was well written and a bit on the sappy love story side, but again it lingers in my memory. Like the Twilight Zone, this series took ordinary people and put them in extraordinary situations. Also, like the Twilight Zone, The opening theme is very catchy and I still can "hum" it after all of these years.I hope it is available on DVD someday, as I would like to add it to my collection.
Crash (2004)
Badly Needed
This country is so divided that it has become a nation of fear. This fear is manifesting itself in bigotry, intolerance, suspicion and downright hatred. Using an ensemble cast and a small timeframe, "Crash" points out the underlying unease of emotional turmoil that lies just below the surface of our every day existence in a post 9/11 United States. Many of us are not even aware of the extent of this fear until something happens that allows our thinly veiled insecurities and bigotries to come "boiling" to the surface. This movie should be required viewing for ALL Americans...and especially those that tend to identify more with the republican party. Maybe this movie will allow someone to see the pain and suffering that comes from fear and bigotry.
