Hachiko

Do you ove dogs? If you do you should watch this movie.

It is all about a real- life story of a pure bred Japanese Akita dog named Hachiko was born in Odate, Japan in 1932; hie was adopted by Eizaburo Ueno (Richard Gere in the movie) when he found the dog lost in the street. Since he ended up taking the puppy home, they became best friends. 

As Hachiko grew older, it became a daily routine to join his owner to the Train station every morning and then pick up him at the same place in the afternoon when he returned from work. On May 21, 1925, Hachiko was waiting his owner at the stato as he usually did, but Eizaburo never came back. Sadly he died suddenly by a cerebral hemorrage at work. 

This is the best part of the story: Hachiko kept waiting his beloved owner at the same hour and at the same place for the rest 10 years of his life...

A japanesse newspapper reported this story in 1932 and published it and the film was published in 2009. 

Hachi, which was his nickname, became the most famous dog in Japan. Can you imagine he has a statue? It is next to Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Why is the best scenario for a romantic comedy an event of great magnitude, or to be more specific a wedding? Because is it more attractive to the public? I don’t know, but the following movie is considered a classic culture, at least for me it is. And maybe for all of you also if you already saw it, today I present to you, “My Best Friend’s wedding”.

Julianne and Mike are best friends after a failed romance many years ago. As most guys will attest, today's woman doesn't really know what she wants, and this is certainly the case with Julianne, who has been fickle in love and charted an interesting course of serial relationships. But she's approaching 28, and she pacted with Michael that if they ever got this far up in years, they'd marry each other. 

After a few months apart, Mike phones Jules to tell her that he is marrying Kimberley Wallace, daughter of wealthy Red Sox owner Walter Wallace. Not so surprisingly, Julianne is dumbfounded by Michael's engagement and shatteringly jealous. She sets out to win him back but, she only has four days until the wedding.

Mike tells Jules that he needs her so she flies to Chicago. She hopes to finally say goodbye to the man of her dreams, but she ends up falling in love with him again just as he is planning to marry Kim. Jules hatches a secret plan to get Mike fired from his dream job and pretend Kim's father wanted him fired so Mike would have to work for him and Kim would be able to study. Mike is fired and decides to cancel the engagement with Kim. Jules sees his chance, but he feels horrible for betraying his best friend. Jules convinces the two that they have to leave their differences aside, which helps the two reconcile but in a desperate moment to recover Mike in a last attempt Jules kisses him.

The series of events (the climax as I call it) that continue from here cannot be commented on in a simple review. Don’t wait any longer, if you still do not see my best friend's wedding, don’t think it twice.

The longest yard

The main characters are Paul Crewe, played by Adam Sandler and Caretaker (Chris Rock). A famous quarterback sold a game and caused the disillusion of millions over the nation, and now he got in another trouble at prison.

Paul Crewe was in the middle of a party in her girlfriend’s house when she found out he was drunk she dumped him, as he didn’t seem to care, he stole her luxury car and started a police persecution around the city, when we knew she was watching through the news channel he stopped on purpose to collide with the patrols chasing him. He was sent to Allenville for three years, but the man in charge of that prison in the desert had other plans for him. He needed all the help possible to make a good football team on the guard’s league. He was threat by the guard before getting in that office, and he refused the offer, but he changed his mind when he spent a week in isolation, yeah, a good counter. He was supposed to make a team and make it work as soon as possible so they could play against the guards, a great deal to the convicts, because they wanted to cause all the damage they could.

He earned the respect of the brothers by playing basketball one on one and losing. He didn’t get special treatment, well, actually he did in a way. But all went to hell when his best friend Caretaker was murdered by a snitch of the guards, it was supposed to be him, but his friend went to his cell to leave a present and decided to turn off the radio.

In the game he was blamed of that murder by the man in charge of Allenville, and he had to sell that game too in order to avoid rotting in prison. When he saw the disappointment of his team, he changed his mind and destroyed the guards in a series of strategies.

Personally, I think this movie has a message for those who think they can’t mend their mistakes, there is always a second chance waiting for us, but we need to go the rough way to actually learn. Friends can be a great support to face that moment, and sometimes we need to sacrifice something to succeed. Nothing is for free.

Hachi

Today I would like to begin the day with a really good movie, that in my opinion is one of the most beautiful movies that I´ve ever seen. You can see it with all your family and enjoy a good time together, and this movie is Hachi. 

This is a real life story that happened in Japan in 1987. This movie tell us the story between a man who is professor of the University and a little puppy. One day he was walking at the station and suddenly he found a puppy, rather the puppy found the man, and he loves at firts sight but, his wife didn´t want a dog in her house, then they found the owner of the puppy but no one were. 

Then they began to take care of the puppy and that's when the story began to make sense. Every single morning the dog went to the station to leave the man. 

One day while the professor was working at the University, he has problems in his heart and he died. The people in the town and also the station were admired because every morning the dog arrive to the station to stay there and wait for the man, but as we know this never happend again. This happend many times, and one day of winter the dog dreamed with the professor and he died too. 

This movie shows how a simple action could be one of the most appreciate actions, even more when is a dog. 

Here you can see Hachi waiting for his mater, until the last moment in his life.

Primal fear
Do you like to watch móviles about murders and investigation? Do you like unexpected endings?
If you do you definitely should watch this movie.
It is all about a lawyer, Martin Vail, who defys criminals because he always believes that that there is a different story behind the crimes and maybe at  the end the guilty is other person; but in this case, everything ends wrong.
The crime was about a murder of archbishop and they do not took to long to find the suspect: Aaron Stampler.
Vail conntinued defending him during all the judgment and he finds out, thanks a psicolquist, that the suspect has an identity desorder, that means he has two personalities: Aaron and Roy, the shy one and the violent one. Vail believes his story and he stands firm throughout the trial.
We are use to happy endings, or at least, in many cases we gess how it is going to end.
Is he going to win the case? Was Aaron the real murder? Or was it Roy? Was everything he said real? Watch the movie and you'll know.

Slumdog Millionaire

Welcome to another "Romantic Fridays" (Or Friday of romantic comedies if you prefer), today we present a movie of, romance? Yes, comedy? Maybe not. But that doesn't mean the movie from don't being of your liking. Today I present you, Slumdog Millionaire.

Jamal Malik is being tortured in a police station in Mumbai. The 18-year-old orphan, who grew up in Mumbai’s slums and works as a tea server in a call centre, is one question away from winning the grand prize of 20 million rupees on the next episode of the Indian version of the popular quiz television show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
As the inspector plays a tape of the show, a series of flashbacks reveal the life experiences that led Jamal to the correct answer to each question. Jamal and his brother Salim are young children being chased by a policeman through a slum neighborhood; when they reach their mother, she drags them into a school classroom. 
Next, the Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan visits the slum, and Jamal, after escaping an outhouse into which his brother has locked him, gets an autograph, which his brother steals and sells. Shortly thereafter, a Hindu mob attacking Muslims invades the slum, and Jamal’s mother is killed.
After Jamal and Salim take shelter in a shipping container, a young girl, Latika, arrives, and Jamal invites her in, despite Salim’s objections. Later, the gangster Maman lures the three children into his gang of child street beggars. When Salim discovers that Maman blinds boys to make them more effective beggars, he attacks Maman, and Salim, Jamal, and Latika flee, but only the boys make it onto a train.
After spending a few years on the road with Salim, Jamal decides to try to find Latika. With his brother's help he's successful, and the three escape together when Salim kills Maman. The reunion is short lived, however, after Salim threatens Jamal and steals Latika away.
Time passes, and we find Jamal working as an assistant in a telemarketing office. He decides once more to attempt to find Latika, and starts by successfully contacting his mean bro Salim. After meeting with his brother for the first time in years, he's able to deduce that slumlord Javed Khan, Salim's employer, is holding Latika.
Finally, we catch up to the present timeline, where Our Hero explains to the police that he went on the game show because he thought Latika might be watching. After this reveal, he's released and returned to the show for the final question.

As my good friend Mr. Pool said, "this is a love story", of course I have summarized it in a monumental way, the stories behind each answer is impressive, the suffering for part of the protagonist for not be able to recover his beloved is unbearable, if you have not seen yet Slumdog Millionaire this is your chance.

Winner of 8 academy awards, with Dev Patel, Madhur Mittal and Freida Pinto don’t miss seeing, Slumdog Millionaire.

Naked

This is a comedy film with the main actors Marlon Wayans, Regina Hall and Jonathan Todd Jackson. Everything starts when the substitute teacher Rob Anderson is offered a full time job, but he hasn’t decided about taking it yet. 

He is about to get married with the love of his life, but there is a little long term obstacle, his father-in-law, who is rich and wants his daughter to get married to a wealthy man. When they go to the rehearsal of their wedding Rob finds out his father-in-law has invited the ex of his fiancée, yes, pretty awkward. After the rehearsal he asks his best friend and wedding god-father to have a bachelor party a day before the event. Here, it all goes to hell for him. For some unknown reason, he wakes up without memory of last night, he’s naked and trapped in an elevator, and he is really late for his wedding.

He needs to get to the hotel, get dressed and pick a cab to the church. And he gets to a hotel quickly, but not his… yes, wrong hotel. He insists until he talks to a maid making the cleaning and shows him a towel with the name of the hotel he’s in, and still naked, he runs through a marathon and gets arrested, at that time a bell sounds and the day starts over. This happen many times until he realizes the reasons he is getting married and about a secret plan of taking his father-in-law company, and stops it.

In my opinion this is a low budget movie that will make you laugh hard a couple times, and in the background you can find positive things that the film has during the story. For example, we can see how a man fights destiny to fulfill his dreams and not disappointing the girl he loves. Second, there are always good people in our path that are willing to help. Getting married is a huge decision, we have to think not only in the love we require to do it, but all the hard work that comes ahead in our lives, we need to live selfishness behind and start being the best version of ourselves.

The pianist

Welcome to another great monday in which we talk about: movies based on real stories.  Today we will be talking about "The pianist".

This movie, in general context, is situated particularly in a time referring to the Second World War, when Nazism and racial hate to Jewish were expanding themselves through Europe, causing the so-called Holocaust. In the middle of these critical situations of that age, the plot is centered in the life of a Polish young pianist, who was born in Poland, Jewish by birth, which was a problem to Germans. That is the reason why he fled from his home, leaved his family and abandon his beloved profession as a pianist; to survive he must hide behind the debris caused by the war itself.

For me, what I like the most about this movie is that the story behind the scenes is real, and despite of the difficult situations that the character has to face, the movie tells a story full of hope and love for good music of an excellent pianist.

You definitely have to whatch it because you´ll learn a lot about the history of the conflict that occurred in World War II; also it is also possible that the film makes you want to cry,  and always take into account that it was a real story of a great pianist of that age.

Leap Year

Welcome again to another Friday of romantic comedy. Today I have prepared something out of the ordinary to what Hollywood presents annually. For men proposing marriage to women is quite common. But what if, instead of a man doing it, a woman does? Well, in Leap year our dear Anna explains it to us very well with a very peculiar touch.

Successful real estate stager Anna Brady is frustrated that her cardiologist boyfriend Jeremy Sloane still has not proposed to her after four years. She decides to travel from Boston to Dublin, to propose to him on February 29, leap day, while he is there at a conference. Anna wishes to invoke an Irish tradition that a man who is proposed to on leap day must accept the proposal. During the flight, a storm diverts the plane to Wales, where Anna hires a boat to take her to Cork. The severity of the storm, however, forces her to be put ashore at a small seaside village called Dingle, where she makes her way to a local tavern. Anna tries to enlist the help of Declan O'Callaghan, the surly Irish innkeeper.

She requests him to taxi her across the country to Dublin. At first he refuses, but after his tavern is threatened with foreclosure, he agrees to drive her for €500. The two set out in his old beat-up car. Along the way, he makes fun of her fancy Louis Vuitton luggage, which he calls "Louie". He also mocks her belief in a leap year "tradition" of women proposing to men.

Their travel is interrupted by a herd of cows blocking the road. Anna steps in cow-dung while attempting to move the animals, and tries to clean her expensive shoes while leaning on Declan's car which causes it to roll downhill into a stream. That night they are forced to stay at a local bed & breakfast at Tipperary, where they pretend to be married, taking the name "O'Brady-Callaghan" so that their conservative hosts will allow them to stay.

During dinner, when other couples kiss to show their love for each other, Anna and Declan are "forced" to kiss as well. This stirs feelings that neither had expected. That night, they sleep in the same bed, but do not admit their new feelings for each other.

With Amy Adams, Matthew Goode and Adam Scott, enjoy this Friday night, Leap Year.

The proposal

This is a comedy directed by Anne Fletcher, followed by the two main characters Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. The plot starts when the Canadian executive is about to be deported because her visa expired, and his assistant an American citizen can be his opportunity to remain in the country legally, by marring him.

Their story began in a book publishing company, Margaret Tate was an executive editor in chief and Andrew Paxton was her assistant. He used to live in Sitka, Alaska but he left on pursuit of his dream of being a writer in New York. Unfortunately for him, Margaret was well known for her always bad mood and drastic decisions, until one day the executive table called her because she needed to put order in her legal papers, something she had always postponed for not being important. When she realized her career was in game she invented a false marriage with his assistant, who did not tell the truth because he wanted a promotion. So they travel to his hometown in Alaska to meet his parents and give the good news in a party they had arranged. Here they have to explain how it happened, and Andrew wanted to be masculine a not so romantic proposal, but Margaret insisted on saying he cried during the final question.

When they thought everything was going just planed, the conflict between Andrew and his father arises, all because he wanted his son to manage all the companies they had created during their lives at Sitka. This uncomfortable situation becomes suspicious for a so suddenly event, so he starts investigating by his own until he founds out the truth.

In that moment, Margaret starts feeling something real about Andrew and his family, she finally felt loved and welcome in a home, due to her past and the way she lost her parents, she suddenly panicked and wanted to run away before she can hurt the family, so she accepts a deal with Andrews father and leaves to New York to pack everything and go back to Canada. What she didn’t know was that Andrew was in love with her since they kissed that first day in the welcomed party, and followed her thanks to his granny that faked a heart attack to get a plane for him. Finally, they started a real process of marriage and make it right with the legal situation.

In my opinion, this movie shows what people can do to achieve their dreams or to protect their hard work. It also proves how the family is always there when things seem to fall apart, to support you, to encourage you in all you want and to love you. We must always keep in mind that love is something unexpected, we are never ready for it, though we always look for it.

Welcome to another Monday of  based on real-life stories movies.

Have you ever travel by plane? Have you ever heared about plane crashes? If you do, you must have heared about the 2009 accident in Hudson River. I just have one way to describe what happened there: a miracle. This story is so amazing that you definetly have to watch its movie called "Sully". 

This movie is all about what happened before, douring and after the accident. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger is the name of the airplane pilot who, with his exprecience and habilities, succesfully landed in Hudson river after losing thrust in both engines. That was amazing, but that is not the best of all; surprisingly, even though it was a very dangerous landind, there was not even one life lost. 
Right after the crash, everybody started to evacuate the plane inmediatly  no understanding what had just hapened. They where right in the middle of the very cold river, so they had nowhere else to go insted of the wings of the plane. If you life movies based on real-life events, you should definitely watch this.

Made of Honor

If it's Friday night (or weekend) and you don’t have any movies to watch, a bit of romantic comedy would do you no harm, this day I bring you a little bit of Maid of Honor, with Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan.

One Halloween night, Tom Bailey dressed as Bill Clinton goes to slip into bed with his pre-arranged date "Monica", but it was the wrong woman. Instead it was "Monica's" roommate Hannah. After bantering which each other, they become instant friends for Tom likes her honesty and how she doesn't fling herself at him.

Ten years later we see Tom, very wealthy because of his creation of the "coffee collar" (gets a dime every time it is used) and leaving the bed of another girl. A different one every night for one of his rules is "no back to backs except for Sundays and Mondays for they are a different week". After picking up two lattes at Starbucks and another phone number, Tom meets up with Hannah at a museum where she is a painter, and the two have lunch.

On the reception of his father’s sixth wedding, Hannah tells Tom she must go to Scotland for work. While she's gone for those long agonizing months, Tom discovers that without her, and being with other women over and over is not very fulfilling. He soon realizes that he is in love with Hannah. During a basketball game he tells his friends his realization and get typical Neanderthal responses from them, but decides to tell her his feelings after all when she gets back. However, after meeting up with Hannah at a restaurant, Hannah surprises Tom by introducing to him a wealthy Scotsman named Colin and announces that they are engaged, and incredibly asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor.

After discussing it with his friend, Tom decides to be her maid of honor after all just to spend time with her. After meeting her pastor he tries to convince her she does not even know Colin and make her realize that she loves him but to no avail.

After arriving in Scotland for the wedding, Tom realizes he is running out of time to stop Hannah, the following evening Tom takes Hannah out for a walk hoping to tell her how he feels; however the other bridesmaids interrupt for Hannah's bachelorette party (Hen Night). On her Hen Night, Hannah parades around a pub and sells her kisses for change. As she goes around, Hannah kisses Tom. Though it just started as a peck, it turned into a passionate kiss.

Now if you want to know how it ends (In case you haven’t seen this movie yet) you should see it, we don’t want to ruin the end of a movie that in a personal opinion is pleasant to the public, has comedy and is entertaining, however to criticism, doesn’t seem to like it at all, but those are other points to discuss. If you ever show up in the same situation as our beloved protagonist, do not beat yourself around, just do it. Give me your opinion about the movie, what did you think about the movie? Do you like the movie? Did you hate her? See you when I see you.

Shrek 1

This animated movie involves four main characters, Shrek who is interpreted by Mike Myers (the actor from Austin Power movies), Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). This is the kind of movie that kids can see to learn valuable lessons of friendship, to never let down a friend, to aim high when you fight for your dreams, and most importantly, to fight for the true love without excuses.

The movie starts with Shrek adjusting a warning drawing with his angry face at the entrance of his domains, because he doesn’t like any kind of visits, he’s an ogre after all. While he was doing this he meets a donkey by accident. The donkey was running away from the soldiers that were buying magic creatures from fairy tales. This donkey could talk and was being sold by a granny. The moment that the soldiers identify the ogre they immediately run away, afraid to be eaten. Against his will, the ogre accepts the donkey to spend the night in his domains when, suddenly, he hears somebody whisper near his table. Unluckily for Shrek, all magic creatures that were bought just a few hours ago. They were sent there by Lord Farquaad, the incredibly tiny king that controls the country. The only way he could get some peace was talking to him in person, and so the adventure began. The donkey was his guide during this long journey, but when he finds the king, this one ordered all his warriors to attack him and the winner would have the honor of rescuing a princess so he could get married in order to be crowned absolute king.

Both Shrek and Donkey travel to an active volcano which center there is a ruined castle with a high tower and a dragon as guardian. The tale says that they must kill the dragon and rescue the princess whit a true love kiss but they skipped some parts and go straight to trouble with the princess Fiona, who believes is being rescued by his blue knight, not an ogre. They miraculously escape in one piece, at that point the princess knows the story of Lord Farquaad.

On their way back home they go through different obstacles, thieves, rough paths and the falling sun. Every time the sun sets, the princess must hide because of the spell a witch made to her, beautiful in the day, different when the sun sets, she becomes an ogre too, but believes the true love kiss would release her to be happy with his love one.

But when his mission is complete in bad terms with the princess, Shrek realizes he loves her, but there is someone that can help him demonstrate his love to her, the always loyal friend donkey, and so they go to stop that wedding. It all ends with that one kiss, that takes shape of his love for Shrek. So they live stay together happily after.

In mi opinion, this is the type of movie children really need to see more than once, even if the characters are fictitious, they can teach a lot more during their adventures. We can observe and understand difficult concepts about our lives and emotions with humor, but the real message remains and that is a fact. Love, friendship and loyalty are top values that are hard to comprehend being a kid, and Shrek represents this very well with a worldwide language.

"The Blind Side"

The Blind Side

Have you ever seen "the movie of Big Mike"? I bet you do. I think "Big Mike" is a better reference to know of which movie we are talking about insted of its real name.

This is so far one of the best based on real story movie I've seen.

It is based on real story of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), a seventeen-year-old black homeless, who has been under the care of different families due to his mother's drug addiction. Then his life change completely when Ligh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) and her husband, Sean (Tim McGraw) saw him on the street and eventually they took care of him as he was part of the family. Then story keeps going to the point that they adopted him, and he realizes his potential as a student and football player and achived a position as one of the most highly coveted prospects in college football, then finally becoming a first-round pick of the Ravens. He was jusy a blessing to the family and vice versa.

The movie has many emotional scenes and it is really difficult not to cry.

Finally, I would like to tell you something interesting of the movie. Why "the Blind Side"? Well on futboll it means the side of the field opposite to the way a player is facing. This term is often used when describing offensive tackles. The left tackle is often said to be protecting the quarterback's blind side.
The personality of Michael Oher was not like a common futboll player personality, he was not violent at all; but he was overprotective, and once he started to protect the quarterback's blind side as if that player was part of his family, everybody saw he was gold worth.

If you have never watch it, you should!

Here you can see the real Michael Oher and his family.
