This period drama seems promising at first. Once a demon shows up, however, things become ridiculous, which makes me lose interest.

In positional play, the instructor should've replayed it in stop-run motion while explaining it with a marker.
In team formation, the instructor should've showed an actual live action.after the whiteboard presentation.

As the personal lives of the central characters become increasingly entwined, the plausibility of the ever-more-complex plot becomes stretched to breaking point. The story, however, keeps you gripped as the unlikely events appear, one by one – each more preposterous than the next.

Trapped in a dull job painting album covers, struggling artist Sonny Malone gets instantly attracted to Kira (Olivia Newton-John), an anonymous woman randomly photographed in the background of one of his assignments, but no one is able to identify her. Visiting the auditorium where the cover was shot, Sonny finds the mysterious beauty, an ageless Greek muse, who encourages him to team up with old-fashioned Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly) to build a roller-skating disco. Not even over-the-top musical numbers can save this movie from questionable acting, unimpressive effects, and an unrealistic story. Gene Kelly gets too old for the role, he works hard though.Trapped in a dull job painting album covers, struggling artist Sonny Malone gets instantly attracted to Kira (Olivia Newton-John), an anonymous woman randomly photographed in the background of one of his assignments, but no one is able to identify…

You can stimulate your natural healing with qigong to a certain extent, but I don't think qigong alone cannot heal cancer. I believe in the Gerson Therapy, but NOT in qigong because Helen Liang is NOT a medical expert. I don't believe her.

This film reminds me of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in terms of Pentagon conspiracy.
