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...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
