THE 13th DAY (September, 2010 - 6/5 Stars)

Category:Movies
Genre: Documentary

"The good will suffer".

Very rare do you come across religious movies that are done well. The 10 Commandments, The Passion of the Christ are some that were done with intricacies. The 13th Day is a great addition with fresh approach using sepia as a mnemonic device. The story was written with simplicity and is never boring. The movie made me shed a tear or two. It allowed me to flashback to some memories at age 7 while I was praying the Holy Rosary - the Miraculous Medal that i found in mud which i placed over St. Jude Thaddeus as necklace danced as I sang the Our Father.

The movie is inherently powerful. Because it is true.

Special fx: 5, Concept : 5, Consistency : 5, Storyline : 6

PS- Part of the movie ticket sales / proceeds go to Hapag Asa Foundation to feed malnourished children.
