Hello Blog Followers!
Again, I apologize for the delay in posting-I've been a little busy. Believe it or not, this post was inspired by the film 2001 film, Pearl Harbor. For those who do not remember this film, if you have about 3 hours to spare...watch this movie. The film stars Ben Affleck, Josh Harnett and Kate Beckinsale (pre-Underworld days).
I recently received HBO and started watching movies and stumbled upon Pearl Harbor and decided to give it another go. I didn't really appreciate it in 2001 but perhaps I was too young. When the movie ended, I found myself catching tear drops. Was it embarrassing? Yes.
I asked my Facebook friends which movies made them cry and learned of some new ones and others that have also tugged at my little heart strings. Here are some of the movies that were recommended, if you wish to have a nice cry.
-About Time
-The Brotherhood of War
-The Shack (this film came up a couple of times)
-Bridges of Madison County
-The Notebook
-Martian Child
-An American Crime
-Dear Zachary
-City of Angels
-Fault in Our Stars
-Marley & Me
-Message in a Bottle
-A Dog's Purpose
-The Color Purple
-The Joy Luck Club
-Rudy
-The Lion King
-Steel Magnolias
-The Elephant Man
My List:
-The Crow
-Lars and the Real Girl
-Pearl Harbor
-Titanic (darn it, hate to admit this one but darn it Jack)
Again, I have seen a handful of the films that were recommended and will be viewing the others by Christmas holiday.
Stay-tuned.

Movie reviews 2017...thus far
Hello all,
I've been going to the movies every Tuesday for the last few weeks so I have much to discuss. Just FYI, movies are $4.98 on Tuesday nights at the Cinemark located at the North East Mall in Hurst. So far this year, I have seen Hidden Figures, John Wick 2, Fifty Shades Darker, the Lego Batman movie and Logan. SPOILERS BELOW.
My reviews:
Hidden Figures: A
This film lives up to the hype. A worthy Oscar nominated film with a talented cast. The films includes inspiration, hope, angry and sadness. A lot of mixed emotions but check it out before it leaves circulation and enters the realm of Redbox
John Wick 2: B+
I have to say...I liked the first one more. This movie is packed full of action, and you will not be disappointed but prepare yourself for a cliffhanger. I see a third film in the future
Fifty Shades Darker: C-
If you are a true fan of the book series, then check it out. I warn you...if you are not fond of Jamie and Dakota playing Christian and Anastasia...then I say hold off and check it out on Redbox. A lot of the book is left out and some parts altered. Also, many dry spots in the film where I catch myself spacing out and wishing I was watching the Power Rangers movie.
Lego Batman Movie: B
What a fun film! I really like Will Arnett and his comedic role as "Batman." The film is funny and light-hearted, as the audience is introduced to Batman's new family. I love Robin...have a soft spot for him.
Logan: A
Wow. I mean WOW. Talk about a different take on a superhero movie. In this film, you see how vulnerable Wolverine and Professor truly are, and it truly is an end of an era. This film is R rated and includes action, drama, heart and violence. Deadpool teaser trailer in the beginning and no post credits.
Next I will be viewing Beauty and the Beast, Power Rangers movie, and King Kong.
Stay tuned for more blog post.
