A Time for Miracles

Summary: Kate Mulgrew before Voyager
Review: "A Time for Miracles" is an underrated gem. Showing a bit of American history that is often neglected, and showing Kate Mulgrew as a determined woman who was strong willed, clever, not afraid of anyone, and was fond of coffee. No wonder she was cast as Katherine Janeway.

Summary: Read "Butler's Lives of the Saints" Instead

Summary: Time For A Change
Review: In this day and age when the majority of movies consist of explosions, profanity, and lame plots, it's nice to go back a few years and enjoy a film like "A Time for Miracles." Based on the life of Elizabeth Seton, this movie encompasses the difficult aspects of doing God's Work and accepting the consequences from it. A very young Kate Mulgrew gives a believable performance as Elizabeth, although her old-age make-up lacks considerably. John Forsythe and Lorne Greene also star rounding out a rather high caliber cast for a work of this nature.

Summary: Read "Butler's Lives of the Saints" Instead
Review: This is a remarkably uncatholic movie that is supposedly about a famous Catholic. St. Bonaventure said that those who do not have a devotion to Our Lady will die in their sins and be damned for all of eternity. Nevertheless, Elizabeth Seton is never portrayed as having a devotion to Our Lady and indeed, never even says one hail mary that I could see. Other Catholic teachings are notably absent. The acting and production values are lamentably poor. Read "Butler's Lives of the Saints" or "The Baltimore Catechism" instead.
