Mark Felt:The Man Who Brought the Whitehouse Down (2017) PG

Gerald Ford was the President when I first memorized, The Pledge of Allegiance (the 1954 version).  These were events when I was already alive, but knew nothing of.  Events before Mr. Ford became President, thanks to Washington Post's DEEP THROAT(Mark Felt). Dad was feeling bad because of one of the companies where we could not talk to the people involved face to face, so he said, "Let's watch a movie."  We looked for a movie that was not going to make me late for a commitment and something that could make us relax.  The only one that fitted our schedule was MARK FELT and of course, I think most of us know by now that MARK FELT is Deep Throat or should I say "was"? Well, it may be in the past, but he is indeed Deep Throat.  May he and his wife Audrey rest in peace. The film has a good believable cast, thanks to its casting directors Lindsay Graham and  Mary Vernieu.  It's just sad this was not marketed well in this country. ‘Mark ...

SOME NOTES BEFORE I WRITE MY BLOG ENTRY Spoilers are all over the World Wide Web...even our Parish Priest gave spoilers during his homily last Easter Vigil, so if it's spoilers you want, you won't get it "here"(but there are links that you can click ), but I can say this, there are no teasers after the credits.  If you want to memorize stuff for trivial pursuit or something, you can Google them anyway, but it's up to you. PARENTAL GUIDANCE AT ITS FINEST A young dad with his two young sons sat beside us.  When he thought there was ample time, he got his boys some popcorn.  The older one watched the younger one and when there were scary trailers, he would comfort the younger one, even if he was seemingly scared himself.  I was concentrating on the movie, of course, but I was a bit worried about the two boys, but since I was a stranger to them, I did not dare try to comfort them.  I didn't have to, because when t he movie started and their dad was ...

Disney Pixar's INSIDE OUT (2015) PG

Every emotion is important This is a philosophical movie disguised a film for children.  Of course, a lot of children enjoyed this film because of the animation, sense of humor and the things going inside the head of people.  In the cinema where we watched this, everyone enjoyed, except for one child because the little one was so affected with the movie, he or she wailed so loudly that the parents had to bring him or her out.  I really couldn't decipher the gender of the child. There were a lot of scenes that were heartwarming and touching scenes.  A lot of scenes were funny, but a lot of scenes were scary too.  I guess all kinds of inner ramblings of the pre-puberty stage were tackled. I think I like the work of the whole team.  The conceptualization, treatment and execution definitely caused a lot of sleepless nights, but thankfully, all their hard work was not in vain. When the trailer was shown I wondered how the whole movie was going...
