Editorial Review:

Amazon.comKing Solomon led a grand life, thus rating this epic movie told in two parts, averaging 86 minutes apiece. Director Roger Young chronicles the king's rise from the weakling mama's boy of Bathsheba to a ruler known for his wisdom, international alliances, construction of the Jewish temple, and oh yes, those thousand wives--concubines included. Part 1 spends the first hour tracing the rivalry of Solomon (Ben Cross) with half-brother Adonijah, before and after the death of their father King David (Max Von Sydow in a brief appearance). It then makes a 10-year leap to dramatize his famous method of divining the true mother of a contested infant. In Part 2, the filmmakers embrace the legend that Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (Vivica A. Fox) had a romantic as well as political alliance, suggesting that they were the star-crossed loves of each other's life and introducing some soft-focus nudity. With the queen's departure, Solomon descends into materialism and idolatry. The performances are strong and the script, penned by Bradley Winter, artfully weaves in background information to give the viewer helpful historical context. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great, but a little too much "Hollywood" in places
These movies are great for the most part. My only disappointment was Solomon. It contained a lot of "extra" that is clearly not biblical. These great Bible stories are much better if told accurately in my opinion. Genesis is narrated and is more of a documentary but still good. I do recommend the set. A great value and very enjoyable.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Biblical movies
Great series of movies although the first one, Genesis is very slow and almost put me to sleep. Follows the Bible well



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellente
These films were made very realistically and I especially like the one about Esther. I think I have seen it more than 8 times and I still don't get tierd of it. I like the fact that they are not holywood style. Great actors.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WOW!
My wife and I have not understood the Old Testament stories better before watching these DVDs. I highly recommend them.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Solomon the Movie: More than Just the Bible Account
Since I was looking for a scriptural account of Solomon, this version of Solomon was disappointing for me. Many interpretations of Solomon were thrown together to create the movie. As an example, the relationship with the Queen of Sheba was long and drawn out in the movie and was what I believe to be based on the Ethiopian and Eritrean account of Makeda, not the Bible account of Solomon's encounter with the Queen. As a movie it was good, but not a scriptural representation.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers axed payrolls by 533,000 jobs in November, the most in 34 years and far more than expected, government data on Friday showed, as the year-old recession hammered every corner of the U.S. economy.

The ancient climate change on Mars was caused by regular variation in the planet's tilt, or obliquity, according to new research. On Earth, similar "astronomical forcing" of climate drives ice-age cycles.
