Movie Afternoon!

I had off for President's Day and decided to finally watch Ben-Hur. I've had it for a couple of day, but was having trouble finding the time to watch a 3 1/2 hr. movie.

Ben-Hur stars Charlton Heston. It's about a Jewish man whom becomes acquainted with an old childhood friend who is Roman. The Jew is betrayed by the old friend and is forced into slavery. Some years later, he regains his freedom by a series of good deeds and faith, only to seek revenge on his old acquaintance.

I thought this movie was a little to long, and was a little weird how the Ben-Hur story line intertwined with the story of Jesus. Still not a bad movie, and now I have another movie marked off my list!!!!
