Touched by an Angel - The Fourth Season, Vol. 1

Amazon.com

Viewers who complain that every story on Touched by an Angel resolves in the exact same way--the divine intervention of angels--are missing the point. This show's fans aren't interested in psychology or clever plot twists; they want to know that rosy-cheeked angels, with caring eyes and soothing voices, will be there for them when their lives seem hopeless. Touched by an Angel gives shape to that wish in the form of beatific Roma Downey, prickly but loving Della Reese, and staunch John Dye as a trio of angels sent all over America to remind troubled souls of God's love. Though the message is consistent, the writing is not. Episodes are sometimes earnest but silly (a painfully sanitized portrait of homeless teens) or outright absurd (a farmer plagued by a drought decides to sue God). But at its best (as in an episode about HIV-positive girls at a summer camp who decide to form a suicide pact), Touched by an Angel can be thoughtful and warm. As in previous years, the fourth season pulls in guest stars of all stripes, including young stars on the rise like Thora Birch (American Beauty), Mandy Moore (A Walk to Remember), Meagan Good (Waist Deep), and Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous); actors well into their careers, like Janet Leigh (Psycho), Stephanie Zimbalist (Remington Steele), Swoosie Kurtz (Citizen Ruth), Robert Guillaume (Benson); and genuine old-hand superstars like Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno. The Fourth Season, Vol. 1 has no extras. --Bret Fetzer

Description

A trio of angels Monica (Roma Downey), Tess (Della Reese), and Andrew (John Dye) are dispatched from heaven with a special mission: to inspire people facing sometimes unseen crossroads in their lives. Monica, an angel who at times still needs some guidance with her earthly assignments, reports to Tess, her tough, wise and always loving supervisor. Also on hand is Andrew, who, in addition to his duties as the Angel of Death, now helps out as a caseworker on carious assignments. Gloria, an angel for the 21st century, continues to seek guidance from Monica performing her angelic duties. While the angels may not bring solutions to every problem, they always deliver a message of hope.

Touched By An Angel - Season 4 Vol. 1.......2007-08-04

I highly recommend "Touched by An Angel." The show deals with real life situations and shows us how God expects us to handle them. There is a God who loves everybody and is willing to forgive our sins and accept us into His family. This message needs to spread across this country and the world.

Favorite TV show.......2007-07-05

This is my favorite TV show. It warms hearts, lifts thoughts and moods, unite families to watch and teaches a lot. This show offers a chance to rethink ones life. It doesn't matter what your religion is, because this show is not about religion. It is about spirituality, love and compassion. It is about finding what is truth in ones life. The angels are here because they love human beings and I love these angels.

Best TV series EVER continues to inspire.......2007-06-08

I can't believe true TBAA fans are refusing to buy these DVDs because of their packaging?? True, the packaging has gotten cheaper and while I wish they would release each season in its entirety, it's only because I want to be able to watch all 9 seasons on DVD before I die!

I'm sure these DVDs don't sell millions of copies like Sex & the City and Desperate Housewives (not enough sex or violence), but I'll take TBAA any way I can get it, even if they package it in a plain manila envelope!

They don't make television series like this anymore which is one reason I watch very little TV. I just hope they continue to release the remaining seasons in as timely a fashion as possible. This is one TV series that's all about the message each episode delivers, not the package it arrives in!

Too long between 'Touches'.......2007-09-13

For 9 seasons, we were graced with Touched By An Angel every week (every night if you watched the reruns on PAX or the Hallmark Channel). Now we're getting 'touched' every 9 months?? Ok, I have the entire scripts of seasons one through the first half of season four, memorized. I need some new material!!

A Wonderful program-THE BEST!!.......2007-09-12

I was thrilled to learn that volume 4, #2 will soon be available. Touched By An Angel is one of THE best program series that CBS ever aired. I have nothing but praise for the show. Each episode relates to the experiences of everyday people and they are uplifting and inspirational. It is programing the whole family can watch.

Be Touched again this December!.......2007-09-05

Touched By An Angel is a show that can stand the test of time. For those that say the show is repetitive, they've missed the whole point and purpose of the show. The show dealt with the human condition, and I think touched based with every experience one could go through; always delivering the message that God loves us through it all. This is the second half of Season 4 with episode descriptions below. The season is thought to have been split because at it's height, the show was extremely popular and had numerous Promise Land crossover episodes, giving the season(s) an abnormal amount of episodes. The show hasn't been fairing as well financially as say Sex & The City or Lost so I encourage everyone to support and buy these season sets if they can. I enjoy and learn something from every episode I watch.

14. Deconstructing Harry
Monica and Tess arrive at the DMV where Tess has been instructed to obtain a driver's license. Her instructor is Doris (Lainie Kazan).

Herself a former athlete, Mary relates to her eldest son Michael, who is the star wrestler of Olympus High School.

When Michael (whom Aaron looks up to) dies, Aaron is distanced from his mother more than ever.

22. Seek and Ye Shall Find
Can Angels get amnesia? Well Monica does when she falls and hits her head outside a bus station in Savage, MI. Dr. Chester Crayton reluctantly treats Monica's injuries inside rather reluctantly. The doctor is on the way to a prison to watch the execution of a man who murdered his wife, whom he cannot forgive.

23. Cry, and You Cry Alone
Four aging comics sit around a diner table reminiscing about their careers and celebrating the fact that one of them is soon to leave on a cruise ship gig.

25. Elijah
Jacob Weiss, a bitter slumlord, is sentenced to spend two weeks in one of his own tenements and the angels arrive to help him understand the error of his ways.

It is Monica and Tess' assignment to make sure these relationships don't self-destruct.

27. The Spirit of Liberty Moon
Perhaps the landmark episode of the series, The Spirit of Liberty Moon is a 2-hour special. The angels escort Edward Tanner CEO of Tanner Toys to China where Edward will decide if he should start manufacturing toys in Beijing. He brings along a worker, Jean Chang, who claims to be Korean but knows Chinese. After arriving in Beijing it is learned by the angels and Edward that Jean is really Chinese and searching for her husband, who got taken and "reformed" during the Cultural Revolution. Jean is considered an outlaw by the Chinese government and when taken and tortured Monica stays forever by her side. This episode is considered by many to be the most violent and the most heart-wrenching episode of the season.

Touched By An Angel is a show for people of all ages and generations. It speaks of the unchanging truth that God loves and watches over us along with his angels.

Product Description

A London newspaper columnist loses his wife and two of his children during a failed airplane hijacking. Frustrated by perpetual international political stonewalling, he is encouraged by a shady U.S. diplomat to look for "alternative" ways of attaining justice (and revenge). A backroom political deal that leads to the release of the hijackers prompts the columnist to take matters into his own hands. He soon learns that there is more to the story then a simple hijacking gone wrong.

A mesmerizing thriller! .......2006-08-08

From time to time, certain films emerge from the quotidian triviality (and this is one of them) to engage us from the first shots, to make we live with those personages the fatalism of his dramatis personae, leaving our accustomed positions of simple spectators.

When an airplane is taken by a group of terrorists, the correspondent stage of control rescue operation will be out of control, and the mess will be reigning and so, the abominable, repudiated and nasty event will concluded with the blood spill of fifteen innocent victims. Among them, three were linked with a magazine editor - his wife and two daughters -. This awful nightmare will become an inexhaustible search of justified punishment around the surviving kidnappers; but when the fine threads of the power have turned in, these kidnappers are set free, due legal artifices.

As you may guess, this abominable state of things are far to remain undamaged, and the long arm of the revenge will begin to grow, reaching levels of cosmic justice.

Vibrant performances of Jeremy Irons and Forrest Whitaker (what a knockout acting!). There is no any possible reason for you to miss this intriguing thriller, one of the most remarkable in years.

A cult movie from its instantaneous release!

Cheap and politically biased.......2005-12-12

It is very disturbing how moviemakers serve rotten political purposes. After the bombing of Serbia, the Serbs (old US and British allies from WWI and WWII) are suddenly the "bad guys". The name Karadan Maldic obviously hints at the Bosnian Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Radko Mladic. This is a direct insinuation. What a pity to see prominent actors as Jeremy Irons sell themselves so cheap. Jack wants to ensure justice for his family, but he does big injustice to a whole nation.

JEREMY BOND?.......2005-03-15

THE FOURTH ANGEL is a slow-moving, cerebral movie, which features Oscar winner Jeremy Irons as an avenging angel. While one can certainly sympathize with this journalist who loses a wife and two daughters to terrorists, it's hard to accept the stoic Irons in this action hero role. Director John Irvin (Ghost Story) keeps the pace efficient, but the movie loses a lot of its punch on a convoluted and sometimes hard to follow script. Forrest Whitaker uses his nice guy persona to efficiently play an FBI agent who ends up helping Irons in his quest for justice, and Jason Priestley flashes his blue eyes convincingly as an arrogant CIA agent, and we even have Charlotte Rampling in a basically useless role. Overall, though competent filmmaking is evidenced, the casting of Irons stretched my credibility a little too much.

Ordinary Thriller Featuring Irons, Whitaker, & Rampling.......2003-09-28

The title of "The Fourth Angel" refers to the Revelation, but the whole content of the filck has little to do with the Bible. It is about Jack Elgin, a British magazine editor whose wife and daughters are killed by hijacking terrorists. Now Jack turns an avenger to gun down all those responsible for the deaths of his beloved.

It sounds familar, and it is familiar. But the point is its casting for Jack is played by Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons, who is getting more and more character actor as seen in "Dungeons and Dragons" and "The Time Machine." In this film, thankfully, he avoids hammy acting, delivering pretty a decent one.

The problem is, I think, that casting itself, however. I don't beleive in the idea of one-man army (especially when formerly he was a man in suit) who can eliminate the trained terrorists. If it is Arnold or Sly, well, that's another story, but the guy who can play the love of Lolita so convincingly cannot play such kind of part.

More intersting is the supporting actors. Forrest Whitaker appears as FBI investigator while Jason Priestley is clad in suit, posing arrogantly like any gvernment agents are required to do on screen (which is incredibley shot in widescreen). But the most surprising part is the inclusion of Charlotte Rampling who is still gorgeous. It is always good to see her, and hear her say "Matey" to Irons' hero on yachet, but she is not required to do much.

And the story is clumsily told (though it goes fairly smooth), and the awkward conclusion is saddled with most heavy-handed flashbacks that would question the intention of the film. There's little action that thefilm can boast of, and the shoot-out scenes (too brief) are not well conducted. Some good ideas are there, like showing a pretty daughter of a terrorist, but that doens't amount ot much because the film somehow forgets about it in the course of its 90 minutes running time. Regardless of the urgent matters about terrorism suggested here with its serious tone, this film fails to deliver, deliver whatever it wants to.

After disturbing opening, becomes ridiculous..........2003-08-25

This movie was dropped from U.S. release after Sept. 11th. It should have been dropped for just being dumb. After a traumatic opening sequence where Irons loses his family in a hijacking, the movie spirals into unbelievable twists as Irons tracks down those responsible. Honestly, after the past few years, can anyone believe that finding terrorists is this easy? Makes you wonder what Irons and Whitaker are doing with their careers and confirms (for those who doubted) that Jason Priestly can't act.

Teenagers (no matter what).......2005-10-13

This is not a great movie, but is a beautiful one, and the best thing about it is that even thought it has a theme that can be the biggest tear jerker of them all(teenage cancer) it also has a dark sense of humor and a sense of cotidianity that allow the patients of the Fourth Floor (children orthopedic care)to be not pitiful cases but regular kids who fight their illnes while living in a microcosm of teenage life.
Yes, maybe sometimes in the film you will roll your eyes knowing that the movie is playing shamefully with your feelings, but most of the time you will be charmed with those four spanish boys who no matter what, won't quit the pleasures of being teenagers.
