Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House

 I know many of you aren't old enough to remember the Watergate scandal, but maybe you are.  It has always fascinated me, and one of the silent people in the background was Mark Felt.  If you haven't heard of him, he was the associate deputy director to J. Edgar Hoover.  

This film demonstrates the will and the courage this man had to do what was right.  Liam Neeson plays Mark Felt, whom we all know from the Taken series and many other films.  But this time he isn't playing an action star; he is playing a man with conviction.  A man at odds with his government, with his family, and with his soul.  Neeson shows the struggles this man has within himself and with the Nixon White House.  

Diane Lane plays his wife Audrey.  It shows the difficult life they had together, as her husband was an F.B.I. agent.  She shows the struggle of a wife of a government agent and how much she gave up in order to be his wife. Her performance is worth watching, and both of them make you believe that they really are like these characters.  

The film has many other big actors like Josh Lucas and Marton Csokas.  But the overall theme is very clear: what would you do if you knew something was wrong?  Would you say something or would you keep quiet?  

The Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians, "Do not grow weary in doing good."
How are you feeling? If trouble came and you had to risk everything, would you do the right thing?  I hope you would.  

That is what the film Mark Felt:  The Man Who Took Down the White House is about.  I would highly reccoment for most people.  It has some language and is rated PG-13.  But the overall theme everyone should watch it and want their family to stand up and do the right thing.  

You can watch it on the Roku Channel or rent it on various websites; it is also available on DVD. 

Take care and I will see you at the movies.

Nuremberg review

   This is a new story that analyzes the relationship between Douglas Kelley and Hermann Göring.  The film deals with the other suspects, but in a very small way.  The performances are spectacular.  Russel Crowe gives humanity to this monster of a man, Hermann Göring.   I was fascinated of how this monster could have a relationship with a psychiatrist in Douglas Kelley, who is played by Remi Malik.  The film shows the relationship between these 2 men and how they were trying to represent their countries over all view at the time.   The only conflict I see with any of the characters is how Goring didn't have emotion for other families that died, but still loved his own family and cared about them so much.  That is what a narcissist does.   It shows that Goring had disdain for his own family; his uncle was Jewish, but Goring would never admit it.  How his uncle took advantage of the Goring family when they were poor....

Fight or Flight Review

  This review is for those of you who like action movies and don't mind swearing and bloody gore, action, and fighting.  In no way would I recommend it for children, but if you like action, this is the film to see.   Fight or Flight, what can I say about it?  It says the producers of John Wick.  Well, it sure is.   Josh Hartnett is back!  Where has he been?  This just might be the film to get him back on track like Liam Neeson.  This gruesome action film is awesome.  Non-stop action for the duration of the film.  Hartnett plays a down-on-his-luck former Secret Service agent sent to find a criminal on a plane and bring them back to the United States.  The problem is, which Hartnett finds out rather quickly, is that so are 70 or 80 others on the plane, but they don't want to arrest her; they want to kill her. So he needs to protect his asset at any cost. The film has a few redeeming qualities. The asset Harnett is tryin...

Nothing is Impossible review

  Hello folks I know how everyone will think of this but here it goes. The new review is on Nothing is Impossible which is a new film on Pure Flix. Now I know many of you will not have their streaming service. This is a film I have hesitated on doing because I thought just another cheesy Christian movie but I thought I would give this one a chance. Nothing is impossible is about a NBA team announces open tryouts a high school janitor get a second chance at both love and life is what the synopsis says. Well lets see where this one goes. What a shame isn’t that what we say about every player that got away that is shown at the beginning of the film. These are the sentiments that many of us have in our lives we think everything is done and there is no sense of redemption of our lives. This film stars David A.R. White as a washed up player who is a custodian at the local Christian High school. He volunteers with the head basketball coach to encourage ...
