the beautiful game

Hello everyone,  I just watched the beautiful game on Netflix.  This is a very inspiring story.  This film covers the Homeless World Cup.  Bill Nye plays the coach of the England team.  This has teams from all around the world to play for this Homeless World Cup.   It may not sound exciting to you but it is very inspiring.  The story follows a soccer player called Vinny who used to play professional soccer in England.  He is living out of his car with limited options and decides to join the English team.  Bill Nye plays the coach that has picked Vinny for the team and it shows the journey of one person growing from hopelessness to having hope even when you can't see it.   This also can be an inspiration for all of us.  Most of us have homes and have food to eat.  This is something we take for granted.  What if you didn't have a place to live and you were forced to live out of your car.   Life is about perspective.  What perspective do you live your own life?  That is the questi

 Hello everyone it is Lance here again at the movies.   Today's film is about a golf team and not just any golf team it is a golf team from Del Rio Texas.  In this film, Jay Hernandez plays JB Pena the superintendent at San Felipe High School.   This film takes place in Del Rio in 1956.  The racism in this film hits close to home.  Because I live in Portland, TX near Corpus Christi Texas.  Del Rio is about 4 and a half hours from my house.  So this story is not so hard to imagine if you live in this area.   This is such a great story that a small school around this area could win a state championship no matter how long ago it has been.  Del Rio should be proud of this team and be proud of their legacy.   This film shows the hardships these players had to go through.  It shows a superintendent from a school who can't join a country club because his skin is not white.  These scars of racism rock this area and the towns near me.  Many families never really got rid of the hurt that

  Hello everyone I know it has been awhile since I had wrtitten reviews about films but here it goes 2 reviews in one day!.  I have done that in quite a while.  A friend of mine told me to do one at a time.  I need some input if you would like more then one film in these reviews again, please leave a comment so that I know what most of my readership likes.   Any way here is the review, it was very different kind of film then was advertised.  It was like the trailers were trying to tell you something but then you watch the film and it is something completely different.   The film starts with Mark Wahlberg failing as his adventure racing teams fails to win an adventure racing world championship because he miss timed the tides and he gets stuck in the mud.  You make think oh this is some sports film with a dog but it is much more then that.   As Mark Wahlberg and his new team train in the Dominican Republic for the next adventure world championship race his group sees a dog on the street

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.
