   "A banker convicted of uxoricide forms a friendship over a quarter century with a hardened convict, while maintaining his innocence and trying to remain hopeful through simple compassion." -  IMDB   Currently listed as the #1 top rated film of IMDB, this is probably a film we all have heard of if not seen. I've definitely seen bits and pieces over the years and basically knew the whole plot going in but it was very refreshing seeing the whole thing in one viewing.  Good to see a young and spry Clancy Brown. Also always good to see Morgan Freeman. Maybe it's an American thing, but I Morgan Freeman is such a comfort. The voice of God in America for 40 years. Stephen King's story was brought to life so perfectly. It's hard to pick out anything wrong with it. Well written and executed with great acting. Do I think it's the greatest movie of all time? Greatest movie ever made? Will I watch it a million times more? Probably not. But I enjoyed my time with it ...

We love them or we love to hate them, but we'd rather see the villain win in some stories. Here are my top 5 villains I love to root for! Loki Tom Hiddleston did it right. He's our favorite little god of mischief. Even in other forms like Atreus from God of War or even the original Loki of Norse Mythology, Loki seems to have a fanbase where ever he goes & I'm right there. Norman Bates Not just a psycho, but THE Psycho. I loved seeing Anthony Perkins portrayal and as a life long Freddie Highmore fan, you just know I was obsessed with the show . Norman is just an interesting character and it's fun to see his dual personality thrive. Walter White This is what good writing and acting can do. Bryan Cranston is one of the greatest actors of his generation. He perfectly portrayed Walter's rise of Heisenberg . It was easy to feel connected to Walter who was desperate enough to fall into the drug industry. He spent the earlier seasons struggling with regret until one da...

"A captured mustang remains determined to return to his herd no matter what." - IMDB   My top 3 movies of all time – sorcerer's stone, spirited away...... and stallion of the cimarron herd. A live action fantasy, an anime, and a cartoon, I think I cover all bases lol.  Spirit and Shrek were the only DreamWorks films I really watched as a Disney snob child. I remember on a few different occasions choosing to rent it at Blockbuster. The film has since been such a symbol in my life and I have also found new ways to appreciate it over the years as its own art form. Looking back.... I’m so grateful that I've always had this movie in my back pocket through every stage of life I've been through so far.  The music. It’s powerful. I've seen this movie a hundred times and have yet to be desensitized to the emotions the music produces.   Music is the center of everything I love about this movie. Of course you got Hans Zimmer who just doesn’t miss. Bryan Adams was behind ...
