This is, of course, the third in the Prophecy series starring Christopher Walken. In this chapter, our angel-who-fell-to-earth is keeping an eye on the unfortunate half-man, half-angel that's been sired to lead a revolution against God. It's the weakest of the movies, though Walken is at his leathery best.

Since the VCR I watched it on was a 25-year-old clunker, I think I missed a fair bit of the dialog and visuals to the movie. I intend to watch it again, some day. Maybe.

Not recommended.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
