PROBLEM: A strong family drama, well worth watching... . With 21st century eyes, it's wonderful to see a family like the Waltons. Although they are scrabbling against poverty, living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia during the Depression, they are happy. The large family, which includes seven children, parents, and grandparents, is loving and supportive. Sure, the kids aren't angels -- like any others, they squabble and have their problems. But when push comes to shove, they've got one another's backs, like when eldest sister Mary Ellen beats up a classmate for mocking little brother Jim Bob's shirt (made from sister Erin's old dress) or when eldest brother John-Boy defends Mary Ellen from a potential assault by a guest staying with the family. Most gratifying is the children's overall contentment. Sure, they aspire for "things" - they long to see a traveling circus that comes to the mountains, and they pause by toys displayed in the general store. But for the most part, they don't dwell upon what they don't have. They take contentment in life in general, and when the occasional treat comes their way, they truly appreciate it...unlike many kids today, whose parents buy them the latest iPods and video games, and it's STILL not enough. The Waltons' saga is told through the eyes of eldest son John-Boy, who is 17 and aspires to be a writer. He is based on Earl Hamner, a Virginia native who wrote "Spencer's Mountain," the book upon which the show is based. Hamner does a voiceover in each episode, speaking as the adult John-Boy looking back on his childhood. (For the record, I'm 26 years old, not someone who grew up with this show, or looks down upon "today's youth" from the vantage of age. But, as you know, not all young folks are content with the attitudes of today's society as a rule. I, for one, truly wish we could return to a simpler time; it won't be long before our complicated lives lead us to self-destruct.

PROBLEM: "I Stand In The Dark With A Blade In My Hand" ~ Physican Heal Theyself . Esteemed psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Ricard Burton) takes on a case nobody else wants to deal with. Alan Strang (Peter Firth), an eighteen year old working at the local stables blinds four horses with a metal spike in an unpresidented night of unspeakable madness. As Dr. Dysart delves into the causes leading up to the event he soon realizes he is dealing with more than just a confused, emotionally unstable teenager. He has stumbled upon a shocking tale of intense spiritual devotion gone horribly wrong. As the ongoing therapy with Alan reaches its climax Dr. Dysart finally comes face to face with the young mans' inner passion and divine obsession. An encounter which challenges Dysart to finally look into his own soul and confront his personal demons and loss of passion. As though peering into a mirror darkly it eventually becomes a case of "Physican Heal Thyself." Truly one of the darkest, most penetrating journeys into a troubled mind you will ever view. Peter Shaffer's masterful screenplay along with director Sidney Lumet performing at the top of his craft have brought to life a harrowing vision not soon to be forgotten.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: I wish I could go lower than this. . This is horrendous movie. I will never claim it as the movie of my generation. It's one of the many reasons why I absolutely hate the "80's". The others are:Breakdancing, The Yuppie lifestyle,Power hungry businessmen/women, Women with manly handshakes, New Wave Music, and junk movies like this. I know that the main character is nothing less than a manipulator who is only concerned about himself, and what he can get out of life. He ridicules his friend because he's sick, and doesn't feel like driving Ferris around...especially in a Ferrari that mysteriously gets lost in the parking garage, so what am I left to believe I have to wonder if this is where Ice Cube got the inspiration for "It Was A Good Day". I don't care what decade it was, or what was cool back then, or now manipulating your friends is "NOT" I repeat"NOT" cool. I know with John and Johnette Q. Public this is something of a sexual relase. I could picture private parts of men and women everywhere getting soaking wet from this movie, and I find it so repulsive that everyone out there finds this funny.
