Meant to Be (2012)
The search for WHY Iwas put up for adoption
This movie touched me t the core for a very simple reason
I WAS THERE THIS IS MY STORY However mine had a happier ending Basically the premise is that a young boy of 20 goes out to find out why his mom rejected him He feels invisible and no one really sees him His whole life has been in the shadows Now he's determined to put a close to this saga once and for all So he catches a plane to where he suspects he might just find his mother He can then find out the facts of his rejection On the way he meets various people who assist him He does find out why he was rejected but with the help of a cleaning lady Tess (Della Reese from Touched by an Angel fame) she guides him to his final destiny The final outcome is not what he expected but the results are positive I said this is my story In a way it is twice over I was adopted I too searched for my birth parents very similar to the way the boy did I found my birth family at the age of 38 I only discovered I was adopted at the age of 33 in 1986 Even though I never knew at that time I felt the death of my mother in 1975 My birth mother and family had been looking forward me for over 20 years so when I was FOUND they were happy to be reunited with me Alas even though I found the whereabouts of my birth father he has never wish to communicate with me It hurts very similar t the boy in the movie When I discovered my adoption I also ran the Gamut of emotions of Where why who what when It was not easy I was one of the lucky ones I was not aborted and went to a family to loved me 200% as their own We nearly aborted our last child because of the fear of her been retarded or deformed because of medication that was prescribed before we discovered my wife was pregnant My wife begged the doctor to abort the baby but he refused Had he listened to her the world would have lost out a girl who is changing the world She has made a MAJOR DIFFERENCE to many people around her The topic of the movie deals with Abortion Adoption and forgiveness During my search for my family I went through exactly the same motions and emotions as the boy did The pain of abortion is very great and those people I know who have terminated their pregnancies have had to live with the thought of what they had done and regretted it emensely Most have wished they could have turned the clock back and not aborted I was lucky I wasn't and was adopted by a very loving family who brought me up to love and care fr others SEE THE SHOW it has a very POWERFUL MESSAGE EMESHED IN IT
I am not going to go into the full movie just to say several things It is slow moving It does have a religious overtone to it It is a Touched by an Angel genre but it isn't (Monica was missing but even without her it has the same feel as all the Touched by an Angel episodes It is an excellent movie touching to the core your emotions It is very similar to the Sixth Sense in outcome Don't let the slowness of the movie put you off It's well worth watching right through to the end credits to see the final outcome
Legally Blondes (2009)
Not as good as LEGALLY BLONDE but on par with LEGALLY BLONDE 2
Having seen and bought the first two in the series I would rate this an 8 Legally Blonde 1 was excellent Legally Blonde 2 was fair but had a very disappointing ending Legally Blondes was also fair but enjoyable Despite what many critics say there are many references and incidents from the first two movies They are very similar in many ways and several of the scenes are reminiscent of LB 1 Warning spoilers The party fiasco The shoe incident The outburst at the end by Tiffany The rejecting of the twins by the rest of the school The acting might not have been the best but Everyone carried off their roles well The downfall of Tiffany was most welcome because it was carried off very well by the actress to make her much disliked and showed how shallow and vain a person can be and how family class and snobbery is so rife in our schools today I DO recommend this movie and am very contented to have this as part of my LEGALLY BLONDE COLLECTION I hope a Sequel will be made soon which I DEFINITITLY will add to my collection
Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door (2006)
A movie to relate to ESPECIALLY if you had in law interferences
I unfortunately missed the main portion of the movie but the bit I did see wants me to see the full movie If you've had in law interference then this is definitely a movie you can relate to While not giving anything away how many children have had their weddings TAKEN OVER by their mothers who only want the best for their children's and proceed to dictate everything about the wedding over the objections of their r children One can relate too the characters in one way or another and siding with each in their own domains and also identifying the part that THEY played in their own children's big day I heartily recommend this movie to everyone through and through It's funny, tense, delightful, warm, empathetic and lovely It definitely deserves a 10/10 rating in MY BOOKS
Miracle on 34th Street (1973)
Close to the original but very bland
I had the opportunity to watch this version on You tube The only thing I can say about the movie that is good is that it is closer to the original than the Richard Attenborough one It was very bland No emotions No suspense No drama Even the court case was dead No public While it has its merits I still prefer the original It might have been made in black and white but the best sumation of the 1947 version is the comments made at the end of that movie with the director talking to some of the actors to get a review about the movie That movie had it all Romance Love Tenderness Drama Suspense This version AND the Attenborough version don't come a patch up to the original In fact I would even downgrade my rating of this movie from a 4 to a 2 The Attenborough one to a 1
The Book of Esther (2013)
A pathetic version of the TRUE STORY of Esther (spoilers )
Firstly To the person that awarded this movie 10/10 all I can say is they must be from the studio trying their utmost best to promote this dismal movie or someone who has never read the story of Esther If they did they must have read the story with total blinkers on The basic facts are close but far away from the truth This is to say the Least Hollywood JUNK Fact Esther did exist Fact the Jews were threatened with mas extinction Fact Haman did try to destroy all the Jews Fact Modachai did reveal the plot to kill the king Fact Haman was executed on the gallows Fact Esther Did go before the king un announced under threat oft death Fact Esther did order the Jews to fast for three days
Those are the facts FALSE There was no court case pitting Haman against Modachai FALSE God Never spoke to Esther No where in the actual story of Esther is God revealed to be in the forefront of things FALSE There was no Beauty contest between the advisors for a replacement queen for Vashti FALSE She was executed not banished FALSE Modichai did not present Esther or the King All the virgins were seized and rounded up for the Kings presence FALSE Hamans daughter never became Esther's maid servant She killed herself after throwing Opfal on her father while Haman was escorting Modichai on a donkey at the Kings order FALSE Esther's Banquet was two banquets not one She unveiled Hamans Plot at the second one not the first place he FALSE after the unveiling of Hamans Plot the king left and stood brooding until he saw Haman seemingly pleading with Queen Esther and came back and had him executed for touching the Queen The whole court case scene and ending is a total fictitious dream of the movie makers
There were countless other errors omissions and mistakes made but we won't go there Needless to say this movie like so many other countless movies made by Christians only warped the true facts of the story Noah The 10 Comandments Gods and Kings and recently even Bible Stories miniseries done by Touched by an Angel actress Romy are full of LIES FALSEHOODS AND DISTORTIONS Really NINJA ANGELS That' takes the cake
It would so sad that these film producers distort the true Bible Stories the way the do In plain simple English they are pushing out PROPAGANDA hopping to dupe people into believing what they are showing is true and correct And sadly there are people who will be live it as gospel
If you want to see more accurate versions of the story of ESTHER Watch ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING And ESTHER by Carlton films in their THE BIBLE series I have found the ones I have watched there are closer to the true stories of the bible than most of the other bible story's made today
