Watch Walking Across Egypt For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Don't Believe the Hype

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

You know sometimes when your browsing through DVDS, and your extremely eager to buy something, but you don't know what. Then you come across a film where you've seen the actors before, but you've never even heard of the film? Well, that's how I staggered across the film Walking Across Egypt. I purchase about two new DVDS a week and as soon as I laid eyes on the cover I read the description I decided to buy it. Despite only watching this film once, I believe this is a film you could watch with anyone and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. For those of you thinking of watching it I really do recommend you should. All of the performances are fantastic and I was especially impressed with Jonathan Taylor Thomas who plays a mischievous kid with a big heart.

i have seen this film for so many times. i had told all my friends about it. i want to have the film on my computer but i can not download it. how can you help me with this. is there any web side i can go to were i can find the film and download it? please help me with this. on the other hand the film was amazing. but i have lots of questions about it like what was it's plot who is round and flat characters and is mattiy and the young boy the main characters. what are the settings of the film (the place the time ...) where can i find a metaphour in this film. i want to learn more fiction elements about this film.thank you

Arthur Allan Seidelman has worked extensively on television. This film, adapted from a good novel by Clyde Edgerton, with a screen play by Paul Tomasy, looks as though made expressly for the small screen as it has that certain look of well intentioned movies that usually turn up on Lifetime, or are made into a Hallmark special feature.The main attraction for watching the movie is the casting put together for the project. Ellen Burstyn, a wonderful actress is Mattie Rigsbee, an older woman living by herself in a small community in the South. This well intentioned lady decides, after hearing her pastor read some bible passages, that she will bring food to one boy in a juvenile detention camp in her area. That's how she gets to meet Wesley, a boy that knows his way around the system.The relationship between Mattie and the young man, is in sharp contrast with the one Mattie and her own adult children have. Mattie's son lives by himself; her daughter wants to send her mother to a 'retirement home', instead of helping her. That aspect of the novel doesn't come across too well in the film, which concentrates in Mattie and Wesley.Ellen Bursyn's Mattie is the best thing in the film. Since she has been so isolated from the rest of the community, she is not wise enough to realize the possible danger in welcoming Wesley to stay with her when he turns up at her door. It's obvious that her kindness transforms Wesley, who for the first time is shown genuine affection.Jonathan Taylor Thomas makes a good appearance in the film. Edward Herrman, Dana Ivey, Herve Pernell, Gwen Verdon, Judge Reinhold, Gail O'Grady and Mark Hamill are seen in supportive roles."Walking Across Egypt" is a heart warming tale about filling the generation gap between Mattie and Wesley with love.

Late last night, suffering from insomnia, I decided to watch the Walking Across Egypt video I purchased over the weekend. JTT has such a magical performance in this film, I was actually watching the timer count down on the VCR as I simply didn't want this film to end. It is truly a gift, that I found this film in the "pre-viewed video" bin at one of the rental stores in Berkeley, CA. How I missed knowing about this film astonishes me, as it is must surely be one of the best films made in 2000. Both Burstyn and JTT give reserved, cool performances, but it is those calm, taking-my-time characterizations that allow for a real acme to surface during the film before the end of the story. I admit it, I've had a crush on JTT for years, but in this film I was even able to separate my belief that "JTT can do no wrong" from the truly brilliant acting of this fine fellow. I am only sorry that there are not more JTT films around. I have been completely unsuccessful in locating Speedway Junkie. As far as a recommendation on Walking..., run to your nearest video store to see this work of art! I promise, there is not a boring moment, and you will not be disappointed. Burstyn and Thomas absolutely sing with their synergy and sympathetic performances. The pairing of two of my very most favorite actors was someone's genius and my outstanding good luck. Speaking of luck, JT, if you are out there reading this - please keep with the films. You are an exceptional talent that needs to be seen and heard! Thanks to everyone for reading. Kieran O'Connell
