I love my kindle. Now I don’t have to carry a book around with me, lose my bookmark, or forget the book at home. I have kindle on my BlackBerry, and always take my regular kindle on vacation with me. I read more now than I ever have.

This is not your father’s uplifting wishy-washy Biblical epic. This is a violent, dark, and sometimes depressing story that is quite a change from many religious films.

Based on a novel, this film imagines what happened to Barabbas after he was chosen over Jesus to be released before crucifixion. Anthony Quinn is a perfect choice as the unrepentant thief who goes back to the world he knows- crime and carousing. His favorite prostitute Rachel, however, has become a Christian and is later stoned for it. Barabbas is not just an observer, he sees Jesus go to the crucifixion, and later finds Rachel at the open grave. Barabbas goes back to his old gang of thieves, murders the new leaders, and they rob some Jewish clerics. Caught, he is sent to the sulfur mines for life, where he meets Christian Sahak, played by Vittorio Gassman. Sahak knows Barabbas’ name and reputation, and attacks him. They eventually become friends, since they are shackled together in the pit. Barabbas survives in the mine for twenty years, refusing to die. He is tormented by the memory of his near death years before, and he sees the sacrifice Jesus made not just for him, but for all of us.

Barabbas and Sahak survive a cave-in at the mine, and are taken to Rome as good luck charms by a newly appointed senator’s wife. They are recruited to fight in the coliseum, ruled by a maniacal gladiator played by a very young Jack Palance. The duo also make contact with a Christian servant, Ernest Borgnine in a small but good role. Eventually, Sahak dies for his beliefs at the hands of Palance, and Barabbas has his bloody revenge on the field. Granted his freedom, Barabbas takes Sahak’s body to a group of Christians, who reject Barabbas’ half hearted attempts at Christianity. Barabbas misunderstands God’s word and helps in the torching of Rome, eventually ending up a martyr himself.

Just under two and a half hours, there are a few slow spots. The cast is excellent, however, and Fleischer does an impressive jo

This friction mount lets the user set up the Garmin nuvi on ANY type dashboard, it does NOT slide around at all, but lifts easily to reposition. Perfect for use in situations where windshield mounts are inappropriate or not allowed. I love it!

I was skeptical about this de-shedding tool. I have used all kinds of other types, so I was extremely surprised that the FURminator was as good as the reviews said it was. A must for any dog owner that has trouble with constant shedding. I have a German Shepard and she is very skidish and constantly shedding. She didn’t cry or try to run away when I used the Furminator. It’s been about 3 weeks and I have used it once and haven’t had to use it again. The pictures that others have posted are accurate. I got at least that much the first time that I tried it. Very impressed and worth every dime.
