The map of the tiny perfect things




 Hello everyone sorry I have been on a hiatus but I just really needed sometime to find myself and fix what I can in my life.  Alright back to the movies.  The film is called The map of the tiny perfect things and it is online only on Amazon Video.  This film was referred to me by a friend and I can't say enough about it.  

This film takes place at a middle America small town like most of us live in but with a boy whose day keeps repeating like the film Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.  But the catch in this film the boy is in High school dealing with all of the high school boy problems.  Then he meets a girl who is having the same thing everyday.  What you might think happens, does then chaos ensues.  This film is a masterpiece!  It is the best Amazon released film since I saw since 8th grade which was also released by Amazon studios also. 

It is a much needed art at this current time in history.  It is a much needed film to what love really is and where it should go for all of us.  The film gives you a perspective on our lives and if they are really meaningless.  We are here for a reason but we just don't know what that reason is and we need to seek God for that.  As it the film says "I just want it to mean something."  I think we all need out lives to mean something to have a purpose to make a difference in someone  else's life.  

I know that many of us are asking what the meaning of life?  This is something that we all struggle with.  We all need to find our purpose and wakeup and smell the coffee to what life is all about.  I have not seen anything like it.  This deals with how girls can be afraid of commitment when their lives are upside down and they feel vulnerable.  The characters have to deal with their own selfishness and what they can do for others instead of themselves.  

The New York times called it "A Groundhog Day for teenagers."  And I would agree, it reminds me a film called Safety No Guaranteed from 2012, Garden State, Groundhog Day and Say Anything.  These films have a romantic aspect to them but there is some sort of coming of age or self realization in the story.  

One thing I will tell you I took away from this film is that only you can change your future.  Will you do it.  Will you live for every moment?

Bob Marley ONE LOVE

Now I know this is a little late but I saw this with my daughter on Valentine's Day.  I was my daughter's date.  I know she doesn't like me saying that but that is exactly what I was.  My wife was tired from work so I reluctantly agreed to go see this film about Bob Marley.  I had known the background of Bob Marley and that he died around 1980.  But it was still interesting to see his life on the big screen and see the beginnings of his iconic album EXODUS.  It also shows the relationship between him and his wife.   She stayed with him even though he had children with other women she still stuck by him.  Now that is a real woman.  The more I watched the film, the more I missed Haiti and the life I had there with my wife and family.  It made me remember when I first was dating my wife and how gitty we were for each other.   This film is interesting and was done under the supervision of Ziggy Marley who is Bob Marley's son, who is also one of the producers of the film.  Y

Land of Bad

This new film is now out in theaters.  For those of you who like Black Hawk Down and Asian action films, this may be up your alley.  There are 5 soldiers assigned to go into the bush of the Philippines to rescue one of their own.  It is up to the soldiers and one JSAT soldier who helps them control the drones above them.   This film has the Hemsworth brothers in a film together.  Liam is the main character called "Playboy and he makes sure that the drones land where they should on the ground.  Luke plays one of the other soldiers in the group.   This is an action-packed film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  I really enjoyed the action sequences and the relationships with the soldiers with each other.  They tease the new fish but when they are in the thick of things they are all brothers.  The themes in this film are iconic.  The element of brotherhood for the soldiers and the sense of family is hinted throughout the film.  The one who steals the show is Russell Crowe

Godzilla x King Kong a new empire

  I saw this film a few weeks ago and I guess I figured it was time to do a review of it.  The film has amazing visuals and incredilble action scenes.  But it struggles with making a coherent story and makes you wonder if this new universe or whatever you call this new world of King Kong and Godzilla world will really work in the future.   It makes you wonder about the film and where it is going.  It felt like a action packed film but lacked the mystery and wonder of the original films.  But it is the second film in the franchise maybe the next film will give more coherence to the entire story.   See you at the movies.
