Last night we continued our new Thursday night holiday movie tradition by watching "The Homecoming". What an excellent family movie. The television series "The Waltons" was launched from this movie and it is based on the life of Earl Hamner, who called the Central Virginia area home. As a side note, if you watch the television series you will hear numerous references to Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Farmville, Afton and lots of other local towns and cities.
If you're looking for good old fashioned drama with heart and soul, "The Homecoming" will not disappoint you. The writing is fantastic, the acting is very good and the spirit of the season permeates the movie like the smell of baking pies in a small home.
