Movie Review 14

An IRS agent with a fateful secret embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

One of the best movies I've seen...ever. This one had me crying so much I had stuff running from my nose!!!

Enough said :)


There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.

This movie had alot of mixed reviews so it took me a long time to finally get interested enough to watch..mostly because we'd run out of new releases. Not at all what I expected...better, a very nice story.



Based on actual events, a plot to assassinate Hitler is unfurled during the height of WWII.

I have actually seen a documentary on this true story and I think the Mythbusters did an episode to prove that Hitler's injuries were reported acurate.

Quite an enthralling movie, even though I already knew the ending, I was on the edge of my seat.



Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and about 1,000 Jewish non-combatants.

Saved the best for last...

Would you rather rip out your brain stem, walk across the nearest 4 way highway and skip rope with it than see one more machine gun, explosion riddled war movie?
Well let me educate you my dear friends,don't pass by this gem. It tells a completely different story about the jews, one which I had never heard of before in my WWII studies...one of dignity, empowerment, self-sacrifice, love and of course...danger.
Oh there are many fantastic stories of courage and faith like Anne Frank and the movie "The Pianist" just to name a couple... and this true story can be added to that list.

100% movie magic. the acting...stellar, the cinematography...incredible and the acuracy...impecable. I was blown away by this production and to see the actual people was inspiring. If you make extra time to watch the special features...you won't regret it.
