A
Heavenly Countdown
Top
Ten Angels
Let me start by saying that this was way harder than I
thought it would be. Apparently, I don’t watch nearly as much television or see
nearly as many movies as I thought. I had to think pretty long and hard and in
the end, some of these are probably going to have people scratching their
heads—which is okay, too, since I’m all about confusing people. Now, in no
particular order—Jesus, stop making this so hard on me already—I give you my
top ten angels.
Gabriel, Constantine. This was the first time I saw an angel,
specifically an archangel, portrayed in such an androgynous manner. Sure, she
(he?) turned out to not be on the side of angels after all, but she’s still
pretty kick-ass.
Loki and Bartleby, Dogma. Again, not the most angelic of angels, but you
can’t say these two weren’t focused and on a mission. Was I the only one who
got a little teary-eyed when God came down and Bartleby asked Her to…well, I’m
not going to ruin things if you haven’t seen the movie.
Leo and Paige, Charmed. Not technically angels, but close
enough, right? I mean, I always equated whitelighters with angels since they
were all about protecting and guarding and stepping in with a healing/helping
hand. Just me? Please say no.
The Crab, Simply Irresistible. I’m going to bet there are a lot of you
who have no idea what the heck I’m talking about. That’s cool. It’s a little
known movie with a crab that’s either a fairy godmother or a guardian angel of
sorts. Maybe it’s a mix of both, who knows. It’s a simple little romantic
comedy that always cheers me up so it goes on the list.
Dr. Malcolm Crowe, The Sixth Sense. Somewhere out there, someone is
wondering what I’m smoking in order to put a ghost on this list. Yes, I know—a
ghost is not an angel. Still, Malcolm does sort of act like a guardian angel.
He does his best to help Cole deal with his issues, to protect him, and to
guide him. Granted, he did initially scare the bejesus out of the poor kid, but
things worked out the end.
Michael, Legion. Critics be damned, I LOVED this movie.
Well, except for the old lady in the diner—she creeped me the hell out (my
friend and I still joke about her). Michael was everything I would want an
archangel to be—driven, kick-ass, and sexy as hell. I think I need to rent it
again….
Loren McConnell, The Reaping. Okay, so someone may correct me on this
and that’s okay. I believe Loren is called a prophet, but she might be an
angel, who knows. Either way, she was under some serious protection from God
and her faith was what brought the entire town burning down.
The Angel, Can’t Hardly Wait. Yes, this is more for shits and giggles
than anything else, but think about it—she shows up right on time, she
dispenses much needed advice, and then poof!,
she’s gone again. Yes, she’s only a stripper dressed as an angel, but still.
She’s on the list.
So there you go! My top ten angels—feel free to add to the
list and let me know who your favorites are.
Winged
By LM Pruitt
I fell from the Talmadge Bridge the week before I turned thirty.
I was given a choice: Go to Heaven. Go back to my life in Savannah. Or spend eternity fighting evil under the direction of the archangels.
I chose the demons--and the angels.
I chose the Winged.

And now there's the Resistance.
Joanne must choose again, this time between her fellow Winged and their burning desire for change or the archangels and the eternal vow she made.
Even in the afterlife, one truth remains--everything ends
