The intern

I watched "the intern" which had Anne Hathaway and Robert deniro in it. So probably what you are thinking is, this movie is going to be really bad with sexual innuendos and inappropriate scenes. I once again was really quite shocked at how clean this movie was. I also really enjoyed the story line. It was definitely one of those feel good movies but not really one that would make you need a whole box of tissues or anything. But it was a good movie and I was happy to see that especially these actors were able to make a movie with a good plot line that cause the audience to evaluate life better.

pixels

So this weekend I watched the movie Pixels. It is an Adam Sandler movie and of course his movies are quite hit and miss when it comes to appropriateness. He has some really good funny movies that I enjoy to watch but there are also many that have a lot of inappropriate humor and innuendo's and such. I heard that this particular movie was not that good, as in not that funny or worth seeing. But my fiancee had seen it and said he was pleasantly surprised with how clean it was and how he thought it did have a lot of humor and cleverness to it. So I gave it a chance and lo and behold I believe my fiancee to be right. It was really clean which is surprising with Adam Sandler. I would relate this to the movie bed time stories that he did a few years ago. It was funny and very clean and I enjoyed that one as well. It is just nice to see that he is making these kind of movies. Who knows it may be because he has his own kids now and he has learned what is appropriate. None the less I would recommend it.

little boy

I watched the movie little boy last night and I really enjoyed this film. It has a lot of really good lessons and morals that I think can be valued. This very small boy is very attached to his father and they are best friends. This boy is also ridiculed by some of the other boys in his town so this creates an even bigger attachment to his dad. It is set in the war time with japan and pearl harbor and his brother can't go to war because he has flat feet so his dad ends up having to go. This crushes the family because he is such a central part of the family. The family finally finds out that he is taken as a prisoner of war and is missing. So this little boy goes to the Reverend for help to bring his dad home through faith. He tell him to befriend a Japanese man in the town. He doesn't want to because people will be angry with him but he wants his dad to come home more so he ends up making friends with this man so much so that when the man is in the hospital about to die he is desperate for him to live. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it but it really has wonderful lessons of faith, hope, and charity all rolled up into one movie. I quite enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good movie to watch.
