The simple act of forgiveness can have profound consequences, and in this documentary filmmaker Martin Doblmeier explores the personal and spiritual transformation experienced by those who somehow summoned the power to forgive others for their transgressions. After studying the concept of forgiveness for the past two decades, researchers have finally begun to understand the true power of forgiveness. Recently, clinicians have found that by helping people learn to forgive, they can help them lead more meaningful and productive lives. In this film Doblmeier travels from the Amish countryside to Ground Zero and Northern Ireland in order to explore the power of forgiveness alongside Noble Laureate Elie Wiesel, Reverend James Forbes, Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh, and best-selling authors Marianne Williamson and Thomas Moore. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A quaint little beach town is terrorized by a bloodthirsty great white shark in the infamous Italian Jaws rip-off The Last Shark. As usual, the powers that be turn a blind eye to it for tourist reasons, although eventually even they cannot escape the ocean of blood at their doorstep. Cue novelist Peter Benton (James Franciscus) and shark hunter Ron Hamer (Vic Morrow), who valiantly seek to kill the beast. Best known for the Universal Pictures lawsuit that found the film's North American theatrical release cut short and subsequent releases barred due to the blatant similarities to Steven Spielberg's blockbuster and its sequel, The Last Shark lives on in movie legend and Japanese laserdisc bootlegs for those who can find it. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

A horrible and bloody Indian raid on a small town sends the townspeople to the local fort for help and protection. With only a handful of men left in his command and his hand tied by massive Army red tape and regulations, the Captain of the fort enlists the aid of frontiersman Clint
McPhearson (played by Brad Harris) to help him figure out why the Comanches are on the warpath. It turns out that the Indian leader Black Eagle is reluctantly sending his people in battle to revenge the deaths caused by a renegade marauding band of fake soldiers. ~ Cub Koda, All Movie Guide

Alan Ladd once more journeyed to England to make a film for Columbia's British counterpart (Warwick Studios), and the result was the lively swashbuckler The Black Knight. Ladd plays John, a young swordmaker who aspires to join the Knights of the Round Table. Unfortunately, he is falsely accused of cowardice and banished from his community. Thanks to the secret tutelage of one of Arthur's knights, John is able to train himself in the art of combat, and soon reemerges as the vengeance-seeking Black Knight. In this guise, he is able to bring a group of traitors to justice, rout a band of invading Saracens, and rescue his lady love Linet (Patricia Medina) from certain doom. Anthony Bushell, who was soon to completely forsake acting in favor of producing and directing, costars as King Arthur, while the villains of the piece are essayed by Peter Cushing and future Dr. Who Patrick Troughton. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The entire Earth is placed in jeopardy when a huge asteroid -- measuring more than five miles across -- approaches on a collision course. In a last ditch effort to save the planet, and the city of Metropolis, which is right in its projected impact area, Superman (George Reeves) himself into space directly at the object and manages to deflect it into a close orbit around the Earth -- but he is nearly destroyed, returning to Earth weakened and shaken up so badly that he can't recall who he is. Suffering from amnesia, he finds his way to the apartment belonging to Clark Kent and collapses while in the shower. He spends the next few days with help from Lois Lane (Noel Neill) and Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson) trying to get his strength back and remember anything about himself. Meanwhile, Daily Planet editor Perry White (John Hamilton) is increasingly desperate to find Superman, as the asteroid's presence so close to the Earth continues to threaten the safety of the planet. His contact with Superman has always been through Kent, but Kent can't remember who he is or who Superman is, much less how to contact him. Finally, a series of accidents demonstrate to him that he is Superman, and he rushes to confront the new threat to the Earth, even though a second encounter with the asteroid could kill him. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
