The Secret: Dare to Dream - Movie Review

 

Something Different

I will admit most of my digital collection is science fiction, superhero, or action. My list is also varied. I have a romantic side. Don't think less of me. I don't remember when or where I saw this trailer but it spoke to me. I added it to my digital wish list hoping it would be less than $10 someday. Granted it is only $15 regular price but I do like to look for bargains. I have been burned in the past with trailers that make a movie look appealing so when I got a free movie rental, I decided to use it on this movie.

Review

This is a romantic drama not a comedy. So if you are looking for a lot of laughs in this movie, you might be disappointed. I ended up watching the one special feature on the rental where the cast talked about the book the movie is based off of. Unlike other movies from a book, this movie is based on a book that is about a mindset and not this particular story. 

I have seen this mindset working in my life without really understanding it until possibly now. This is possibly why the trailer spoke to me. Katie Holmes, Josh Lucas, Celia Weston and Jerry O'Connell give great performances. The movie is a little predictable but most romantic movies are otherwise they would be tragedies. I believe everyone will enjoy this movie.

Rating

I would give this a HD rating. I highly recommend at least renting this movie. I am hoping to pick it up for under $10 someday.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
