The Good Lie (2014)

I have been seeing this poster for the longest time, but for some reason, I never saw the description of the movie.  We had a heavy day today, so we wanted to watch something light , so mom and I chose to watch this.  We were not prepared because we had no idea that this was a serious movie.  It did have light moments towards the end, but what these young people have experienced really broke a lot of hearts and are still breaking a lot of hearts.  Wow, I'm on a roll.  I have watched about five(5) movies without anything to prejudge the movie.  It is a beautiful movie that gives people hope.  Perseverance does have its rewards and true FAITH gives you courage and strength, Here's the summary from the Worldwide Web:    After their village is destroyed and their parents killed by Northern militia, Sudanese orphans Theo, his siblings and other survivors make a difficult journey to a refugee camp in Kenya. Thirteen years later, the group g...

(click this if you want to purchase the poster from the source) Sometimes you just " know it " by a mere touch of the hand   ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Have you ever wondered why there are times when you meet someone for the first time that there is an unexplained connection between the two of you?  There are times you feel that you have seen that person before and if you haven't, you wonder why you are drawn to that person? Some get freaked out when they think people are just giving them pickup lines when they say, "I've seen you in my dreams."  I can't blame them because more often than not, they, the speakers, I mean, are indeed just uttering a line  or something. When two people are meant to be, no matter what the odds are, they will be together. This is what happened with Elizabeth and David. It's a ten-year-old movie.  I wonder if I should give spoilers or not.  Anyways, in Elizabeth's case, Elizabeth dreamed of a beautiful garden. How ...

How do you know (2010)

More or less, I've seen this movie twice.  Once as a full film feature and in parts.  The truth is that I never intended to see this again after a long time .  Why? Not because I didn't like it the first time I watched it, but nothing really drove me to see it again and again and again.  There are movies that have that kind of effect on me and this was not one of it. I have respect for the actors for all of them are very versatile.  I have great respect for James L. Brooks who wrote and directed the play.  The story weaving is almost seamless, but... But what?   There was something missing. Something I could not name. Anyways, when it was being aired again on TV I got a little interested again, so I joined my mom, but left when I had to.  Later, she watched it again, around the middle part, and I finished the film with her. She seemed to like the twists and turns that kind of convinced me that it was worth a second look as a full feature f...
