All of us adults need to search deep inside us once in a while for our inner child to emerge.  An inner child that we may have forgotten and need to be reminded of.  The joy that was probably lost along the way because we have the wrong priorities, et cetera, et cetera.

This latest Winnie the Pooh movie focuses on the adult Christopher Robin who is trapped in a job that he is not happy with.  A job that has robbed him of the joie de vivre.  A job that made him neglect the most important people in his life and made him forget who he really was.

EWAN MCGREGOR plays the part so well that I almost believed that Christopher Robin and the 100 acre woods really exist somewhere in between Sussex and London. 
 
Being "The" Madeleine is BRONTE CARMICHAEL biggest break so far.  She did a mighty fine job of being Christopher Robin's daughter.  She is very believable.

HAYLEY ATWELL plays Christopher Robin's wife who misses the man she married.

The scenes are very believable.  The "teddies" look so alive, even if they are stuffed animals. Or are they? 

I love this movie and I would probably watch this again and again and again.  When it ended I couldn't help, but clap.  Some others applauded along with me, including my folks who were so grateful that they were able to see it.

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(a...

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et ce...

" War, what is it good for?  Absolutely  nothin'!"- Edwin  Starr The Mamasapano Massacre in Mindanao made the people wish that an ALL OUT WAR should happen  there.  Those that are wishing or hoping for that to happen do not know what they are hoping or wishing for. "The War Song" By THE CULTURE CLUB War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothin in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers People fill the world with narrow confidence Like a child at birth a man with no defence What's mine's my own I won't give it to you No matter what you say No matter what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me Man is far behind in the search for something new Like a Philistine we're burning witches too This world of fate must be designed for you It matters what you say it matt...
