The Bible Code is a 40-minute American TV documentary, originally titled Secrets of the Bible Code Revealed, re-edited for the UK with narration by British presenter Paul Ross. The title change links the programme closely with Michael Drosnin's bestseller and The Bible Code, and while Drosnin is featured, the film is based more closely on the books The Mysterious Bible Codes by Grant Jeffrey and Cosmic Codes by Chuck Missler. The theory that there are phrases prophesying future events mathematically encoded in the Hebrew text of The Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) is centuries old; Sir Isaac Newton spent years investigating the possibility. However, it was the 1994 publication of a paper in the journal Statistical Science, consequently publicised by Drosnin, that revived modern interest. This short film can do no more than provide an introduction to a subject hotly debated by many leading mathematicians, statisticians, theologians and historians. The programme is in no doubt that God encoded secret messages in the Bible, and so oversimplifies the issue as to reduce it to the level of tabloid sensationalism. Anyone genuinely interested in the theory would be better served reading a serious book on what is an enormously involved subject. On the DVD: This is a standard 4:3 TV programme with average picture and sound which doesn't benefit from the digital format. The only extra is a handful of barely relevant text pages on the Enigma code. The listed "brief history of WWII" is not present. Given the subject so much more could have been done in providing background material, even to including a DVD-ROM computer programme to run code searches. As it is this is a missed opportunity to make a genuinely interactive experience. --Gary S Dalkin
Nothing ever happens in Suddenly. It's a just small town with small concerns. That is until the President decides to show up... In this intelligent 1954 film noir thriller Frank Sinatra delivers an electrifying lead performance as psychotic undercover assassin John Baron. Alleged to have been viewed by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963 only days prior to the shooting of President Kennedy 'Suddenly' was subsequently withdrawn from circulation by United Artists at Sinatra's personal request. Chillingly prophetic in it's subject matter 'Suddenly' is a killer addition to any noir collection.
