Root of the Problem

Having grown up in a family where money was always an issue, Paul Campbell is determined not to be in that same situation now that he is married to housewife Grace Campbell, they with two teenage offspring, Kari Campbell and Landon Campbell. As a real estate agent, Paul is the top seller at his company, but is so in employing cosmetic or band-aid solutions to larger problems which he does not disclose to the prospective buyers, and spending all his time on the job at the expense of quality family time or doing other things that do not add to that money earning potential. Regardless, Paul and Grace, in pinching every penny, are just making ends meet, Grace and the kids who just want them to save for a long talked about family vacation. When Grace's wealthy Uncle John passes away, he who Paul has always admired in being self-made in his wealth, Paul believes they have it made in the expectation that they will inherit much of if not all Uncle John's estate. They learn not only that Uncle John has instead donated all his money to a children's charity that was started by Grace's family, including his house which Paul is to act as the selling agent with his commission also going to the charity, but that all Uncle John has left them is a potted plant along with a somewhat cryptic message associated to it. While Grace accepts the inheritance in the love that was intended by Uncle John, Paul is totally deflated, he contemplating trashing the plant in his anger, until he eventually learns the source of Uncle John's wealth which is tied directly to that plant, something he doesn't tell Grace or anyone else. But Paul will learn that too much of a good thing has its downside, especially as, blinded by the wealth, he is unable to see the larger picture of all that can be accomplished instead of just lining his own pocket with big boy toys.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
