Saving Grace right now
Academy Award-winner Holly Hunter of Saving Grace dvd box set in her first television series, as well as Leon Rippy, Kenny Johnson, Laura San Giacomo, Bailey Chase,ect. Saving Grace focuses on Grace Hanadarko (Hunter), a smoking, heavy drinking, and promiscuous Oklahoma City detective. In the series opener, Grace meets up with her “last-chance” angel, when after a night of drinking she runs down and kills a pedestrian with her Porsche. In desperation she calls out for God’s help, and a scruffy, tobaco-spitting man who calls himself Earl (Rippy) appears.Unfolding his wings to reveal his divine origins, Earl tells her that she’s headed for hell, and asks if she’s ready to turn her life over to God…Holly Hunter is magnificent as Grace! Amazing how she embodies that character so easily!! Sure, there is violence and nudity and harsh language. Life is FULL of that. Not everyone is Christian and not everyone finds nudity disgusting…The screenwriters and director Nigel Cole go to great pains to make sure the film doesn’t trivialise drugs. They ensure that while we recognise Grace and Matthew’s actions as being illegal, we root for them, culminating in a feel-good fantasy ending which cleverly gets round the big moral question of what happens to the marijuana once Grace sells it.
