Lack of good storyline.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Zion, Canyon of Color (1934) *** (out of 4) Nice, early entry in James A. FitzPatrick's TravelTalks series takes us to Utah where we learn about the Zion Canyons. We start off learning that it became a National Park in 1919 and its shape was due to it behind beneath the sea at one point when scientists believe the Earth shifted and the rest was wind and water. From here we see the famous Mt. Carmel Highway Tunnel, which was built between 1927 and 1930. We also learn that Brigham Young didn't agree with it being called Zion so for a time he had Mormons calling it Non-Zion. Overall this is a pleasant entry in the series and the early use of Technicolor was certainly the highlight. Just take a look at the opening sequence as the camera pans the canyon but take a look at that rich blue sky and you'll certainly love the fact that this was shot in color. The stories told by FitzPatrick are good as usual but this early episode features three different songs, which thankfully didn't become the norm for the series.
