A Great DVD Tip: "The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn"

We just watched a perfectly wonderful movie about real people without a single special effect except for that warm, hopeful feeling it had on us all. Not a single foul word, but a lot of really great acting. We all recommend this without reservations. Anyway, I’d crawl to see anything with either Sidney Poitier or Dianne Wiest. Being able to find movies like this is why I love Netflix.

Small-town farmer Noah Dearborn (Sidney Poitier) lives an uncomplicated existence till shady developer Christian Nelson (George Newbern) tries to usurp his family’s land. Nelson will do anything to take Noah’s property, including hiring a shrink (Mary-Louise Parker) to have him declared insane. What Nelson doesn’t anticipate is Noah forming an unbreakable bond with the doctor that proves stronger than anything the land baron can dish out.
