“Street Fighter” is Diverse, But That’s It
Street Fighter cannot be genuinely recommended, even if it is abundantly clear that much effort was expended.

Recorded at Germany's Mainz Cathedral, this inspirational concert video features the glorious voice of opera star Renee Fleming, who's regarded as "the gold standard of soprano sound." With maestro Trevor Pinnock conducting, Fleming performs "Ave Maria," "Laudate Dominum" (from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Mass in C minor), "Adeste Fidelis," "Rejoice Greatly" (from George Frideric Handel's oratorio "Messiah") and "O Holy Night."

“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.
It is up to the community to decide if this film is a force for enlightenment or not.
