Enter the world of Bobby Paradise, a former astronaut who discovered God during a crisis in space and upon his return became a prominent minister. His power and success are jeopardized when he finds his family at the center of sexual scandal, government investigation and a murderious secret. Stars David Strathairn, James Gammon, Barbara Hershey. Frank Pierson, who penned the scripts for DOG DAY AFTERNOON and COOL HAND LUKE, takes on the media and the business of religion in this scathing story of televangelist Bobby Paradise (David Strathairn, LA CONFIDENTIAL). Formerly an astronaut, Bobby saw God while in space and returned to Earth ready to spread the Word--or at least that's the story he told his wife, Elizabeth (Barbara Hershey, SHY PEOPLE, BEACHES) tells. The two go into business together, and build an evangelical empire, joining the ranks of the rich and famous and enjoying a lifestyle that contrasts markedly with those of the faithful. Doubt is introduced as to the sincerity of the Paradises' claims, and scandal looms on their horizon. A proposed merger with an important mogul, whose past is sullied in the public eye, threatens to expose the skeletons in the Paradise family's own closet. First aired on Showtime, this drama is extremely prescient in the context of today's constant media bombardment regarding sex and religion scandals, and is extremely well acted by all of its players.

Paradise film
$16.29
After a decade in abeyance, the courtly cannibal, Hannibal Lecter, returns to the screen, again played by Anthony Hopkins, under the direction of Ridley Scott. When F.B.I. Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) is blamed for a botched drug bust, her boss Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) makes a media circus of her humiliation, which catches the attention of Lecter. Now a hardened veteran, she begins receiving letters from the twisted genius, who remains obsessed with her. Yet she's not the only one interested in drawing out the psychopath, now lecturing on the Renaissance in Florence. Italian detective Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini) hopes to impress his young wife by nailing the reward for his capture, and wealthy pedophile Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) is eager to take revenge against the cannibal for leaving him with a hideously deformed face. But they're no match for Hannibal's coyly satanic ubiquity, which bewilders his quickly narcotized foes before he administers a punishment sufficiently grotesque to suit his sense of amusement.The odious Krendler, in particular, learns to use his gray matter for, perhaps, the first time in his life. However, all is prologue to his fated rendezvous with Clarice. A banquet for the splatterati, reveling as it does in gore and dismemberment, the film features brilliant work by a stellar cast, and the kind of meticulous art direction and ...
