This show may have been to mushy for some. I was already a fan of Landon's back to the Bonanza days. "Highway To Heaven" really allowed Landon a broad base a touch on every subject. The stories dealt with mentally and physical disabilities to obesity, lying, cheating, greed, gambling, poverty, literacy to just about every subject within the human spectrum and beyond. This show gave Michael Landon a real pair of wings to express his undying love to the human race. I managed to record 75 episodes from TV. These are truly heartwarming stories so if you think they're to mushy you may just need to watch the show more then the rest of us. This show was TRULY INSPIRATIONAL and ALL HEART.
I tried to write my thoughts about this movie but can't keep in under 1600 words so I'll keep this short. I first seen Angela Bettis in the TV movie remake of "Carrie". I thought the story was good and I was very impressed with the lead player Angela Bettis. I few months later I looked her up at the IMDb. I had read about "MAY" and liked the fact "Ebert" had given the movie 4 stars, his highest rating. This was unusual for him to give such high praise to any horror movie or like genre. I ordered "MAY" on DVD having never seen it. I had high expectations and was not disappointed. Angela Bettis is not only very talented with her many fantastic subtle facial expressions of her characters (rarely seen in the best actors of all time) but she is just a great actress in general. Sad that she has not been recognized and given her due credit but then I like it that she is not mainstream, makes her more special. Angela has a very unique beauty and she is with out a doubt one of the most beautiful women acting today. The movie MAY as it turns out has one thing in common with the "Carrie" remake and also the movie "Sparrow" (Avail. DVD-private dealers-ebay) with Angela as the main character "Maria" from 1993 when Angela was about 17 or 18 years old, she's now 29. The character in all three of these movies were more or less loners looking for LOVE wherever it may find them. All three movies end with a very sad ending for her character at that time and course we don't see the rest of her life. I have watched "MAY" several times and have the soundtrack (bought from a private party-Luckett) and both are excellent.
The Breeders, Kelly Deal 6000 & others as well as the music score by Luckett and her ATE13 music really set the mood. Angela's singing in one of the versions of FROX was very cool as well. I very much liked Anna Faris and her and Angela's scenes together are a rear treat. The best line with them was when Polly (Anna Faris) ask May (Bettis) "Do you like pussy" and the followup to that scene, it's quite sexy and provocative. I believe Angela Bettis will get her long overdue credit. I liked the doll "Soozy" in this movie, the whispering noises and the cracking glass sounds all added to the atmosphere. This is a "cut em up" movie done in a stylish black comedy setting. All the other characters and the movie as a whole were very well done. I encourage anyone who likes unique movies like "Harold & Maude" or that fit into dark\black horror comedy will enjoy this movie. This movie is not for everyone but it was 100% for me. I will watch for others movie by Lucky McKee and most of all I will watch for movies with Angela Bettis of which I find intoxicating.

Where is the "Toolbox Murders" movie with Angela, can't find it anywhere?
