MUST SEE MOVIE REVIEW; Secrets in their Eyes


Let me begin first by advising anyone reading this article that I am not a professional movie reviewer but I do know what I like and am never afraid to share when I am moved by anything or anyone.  Having said that, I must admit that this movie did much more than move me, it demonstrated who we are as human beings and how even non-verbal communications and body language can inspire feelings in any movie-goer.

Secret in Their Eyes is rated as a PG-13 movie and categorized as a Crime, Drama, Mystery made on 20 November 2015 but it carries not only a star-studded cast but a story line that is often see but never felt to the degree this movie makes you feel.  It is described as “A tight-knit team of rising investigators, along with their supervisor, is suddenly torn apart when they discover that one of their own teenage daughters has been brutally murdered.” directed by Billy Ray with writers Billy Ray (screenplay) and Juan José Campanella.  It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts and Dean Norris but those who were cast in supporting roles made this movie a blockbuster, in my opinion.

If you choose to watch this movie and I highly suggest you do, please be prepared for the emotional roller coaster it provides as well as the laughter and tears that comes with such an epic movie.  I did not know and hadn’t heard anything about this movie when it debuted in 2015 but thank God for Netflix and its ability to allow viewers to read the info section and possibly watch a trailer.

This is definitely one of my favorite movies and one that I can even watch with the kids which makes it a family event.  You know that a movie has what it takes to make it most memorable when you can repeat scenes verbatim and each time you do it either makes you laugh again or bring tears to your eyes.  Pay very close attention to the words not said, Julie Roberts acting without makeup and the subtle but substantial subplots that arises.  It is a MUST SEE for me and I can almost guarantee it will be a MUST SEE for you.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

The Sum Total of all our Experiences and our Reactions to Them By Dr. Ronnie Manns, NP, Psy,D., FAIHCP

  At the Start In the second term of conception, when the fetus begins to form, so does parts of the brain.   The parts of the brain that begin to form contain only one cognitive component which is called the Mix-Match Negative (MMN).   This portion has two major functions, the first is to instruct that body when it is time to form the different parts of the fetus body and organs, the second, and one which will present more influence than any other aspect of our existence is designed to record every event that happens to us and our reactions to them. All the information created and recorded by the MMN is sent to the temporal lobe to be housed and disseminated when necessary.   These recordings begin to establish your normal, the safe harbor you will run to every time something like a past event or even similar to it happens because it is the only defense you have and the safest place to be. How this works is based on the example of being born.   For nine (9) months we are safe,
