Talking to Heaven

Talking To Heaven has it all. It's thrilling, moving and inspiring. It has fine performances from Ted Danson, Queen Latifah, Jack Palance, Diane Ladd Michael Moriarty and the great Mary Steenburgen. Kudos to director Stephen Gyllenhaal, James Van Praagh who's best selling novel inspired the story and writer/producer John Pielmeier. This is an overlooked gem you must check out!

Great movie for my spiritual friends. This true story is about 175 minutes long, and is based on James Van Praagh's #1 New York Times best-seller "Talking to Heaven: A Medium's Message of Life After Death," and is the complete 2-part mini series. The movie features several big stars, Ted Danson plays James Van Praagh, a very famous medium (famous now--not then--in the story). Jack Palance plays Ted's/James' father; Queen Latifah plays an employee, turned friend, who helps Ted/James accept his inner-self.The movie begins with young James, seeing people and seeing things happen through dimentional portals, but whenever he tries to tell someone, it cause chaos, because they cannot see what James sees. To make matters worse, he is in Catholic school, so it only convinces teachers he is siding with the devil. So, James grows up taught to supress all of this supernatural stuff and not even talk about it. As a matter of fact, he wishes he could just turn it off---but it wasn't meant to be.Fast-forward about 40 years or so, and Mom has a stroke. James hires a lady to work for him (Queen Latifa), and she begins talking about things her psychic told her, but James said he has had his fill of the supernatural. She gives him a Ouija Board, and encourages him. And James begins to see more folks from the other side. The next thing you know, he begins helping police detective Mary Steenburgen find missing children. Especially awesome, and the main theme of the movie, is the 7 young (deceased) boys, who take James on a journey toward solving their murders and helping them continue their path on the other side.Walk with James as he experiences the double-edge sword -- the psychic gift and the pain of having and accepting the gift. For those of you who want to believe there is more to life than most people see and for those of you who believe the dead are closer than most folks think, this movie is very enjoyable.

It’s a good video that the whole family can see. Ted Danson does a really great job along with Queen Latifah and Mary Steenburgen.

this talking to heaven dvd features the celebrities queen latifah, ted danson, and mary Steenburgen on the front cover. This film is based on the real-life work of psychic james van praagh. The movie includes portayals of the difficult life praagh faced as a child when he was striving to cope with his unexpected psychic visions, and did not have hardly anyone to confide in about his situation. However, his mother is shown trying to express as much love and understanding that she could around his spiritual nature. His visions become even more complicated as an adult when he unintentionally sees something that makes even his therapist uncomfortable. However, the biggest calling of his life happens when he ends up using his psychic powers to solve the murders of very young boys who were all without a mother. There is so much more to this show that I must omit out of respect for those who have yet to see the film.

Arrived on schedule, and as advertised.

I never saw anything advertised about this movie. Then, I just came upon it. When you search for it on IMDB it comes up with the title of ‘Walking With The Dead.’ So strange.If you have ever had any personal experiences involving those who have departed... Have ever known things and didn’t trust that knowing to speak it. Get this movie and you will understand. Thank you James VanPraagh. 💜

Was watching the movie and it began to skip and freeze.

After seeing this movie on cable tv I knew I had to add it to my collection of over 650 dvds. Its about a man (Ted Danson) who has the ability to talk to the dead and is drawn into the world of a serial killer by the spirit of a little boy who is trying to free the spirits of his five friends who are entombed in shallow graves deep in the forest. After being visited by this spirit he brings his evidence to Mary Steenburgen (Ted Danson's real-life wife) begging her to look into the disappearances of these young boys. Reluctant at first she soon changes her mind after he brings her a message from her dead sister. This is a great movie for those of us who believe in the here after, and for those who do not - you will, after you watch Talking to Heaven

Good quality video

.

This is the true story of James Van Praagh's induction into the spirit world, leading him to become one of the most famous mediums in our time. This movie helps us understand that perhaps people who hear "voices" and see "ghosts" are not all mentally ill. It's a 2-disc.movie that will keep you guessing until the very end. I highly recommend it for those of you who are struggling to understand murderers and what happens to their victims.

this dvd is the best i have bought in many years and the acting by ted danson and especially mary stienburgen is great one wonders why films or tv films like this do not recieve the recognition they desereve when some of hollywood movies that recieve oscars are rubbish anyway great film, story ,and acting can not fault any part of it
