A beautiful mind centers around the story of John Nash (Russell Crowe) and Alicia Nash (Jennifer Connelly). The character of john nash goes on to accomplish much success in both his professional and scholastic life due to his gift with the area of mathematics. The movie shows how nash’s talent even helps him obtain some prestigious work with the U.S. government. I also acknowledge that the other actors and actresses tie into some of the events surrounding nash and his wife. However, I have to admit that Jennifer Connelly’s portrayal as the wife , even though obviously female, came eerily close in the real-life personality depiction in the immense patience and kindness of my own husband(I must add that my spouse is obviously self-confident and in touch with both his sensitive and masculine sides). In summary, A Beautiful mind is both a serious and yet thought provoking drama.

its all gone pete tong is listed to be a film based on the life of frankie wilde. Frankie lives an exciting lifestyle through his career, but his life is unexpectedly turned upside down when his hearing is affected. He eventually finds the help and support he needed while being able to find a way to enjoy his love of music. My husband was also glancing at the movie and was wondering if it could be a parody. As for me, I was curious which parts of the movie were doctored up for hollywood consumption

![Real Genius [DVD] [1985]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Fans of Val Kilmer and '80s comedies will be sure to enjoy this clever and humorous teen film chronicling the wacky exploits of a group of college overachievers who just can't seem to check their genius IQs at the party school door. The Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment's DVD is no-frills, but the disc is nevertheless a must. The picture has been remastered in high definition and is presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio (enhanced). The picture is excellent, as is the English Dolby Surround audio track. A pan-and-scan transfer is available on the flip side of the disc. The disc also comes with multiple subtitle options, chapter stops, and some bonus trailers for other Columbia TriStar releases.

I felt compelled to watch An Angel At My Table after seeing it on a list of recommended films about writers. Additionally, I feel very strongly in my soul, regardless of what some of my well- meaning critics may say, that it is part of my destiny to become a writer on the side. I intend to write and publish under an alias and/or pen name and credit countless people for inspiring me (such as a recent encouraging e-mail pertaining to authorship that I received from Sean Malarkey). Still, I found An Angel At My Table motivational because this movie centers around the true life story of a woman named Janet Frame (played by Kerry Fox) who enjoys a distinguished career as a writer despite acting different from other ladies who lived around the same time period (including her biological female family members). Sadly, she is at first misdiagnosed to be schizophrenic and almost ends up having to undergo a complete lobotomy. I must leave out how she gets out of this situation for those who have yet to see An Angel At My Table. However, from my perspective, this film captures in a humane and brilliant way the highs and lows of her life. Divided into three parts, this film captures moments such as when she first falls in love and another scene where she ends up getting romantically swept off her feet by another accomplished individual. Part one transitions into part two via the action point of her going off to college. Part two to three makes the transition of her going abroad from New Zealand to England and then to Spain. Quotes from the Shakespeare play of The Tempest and another quote from Robert Burns of Duncan Gray are featured in the movie transitions.

Wild Yet Imaginative Miley Cyrus

I purchased Bangerz by Miley Cyrus and was pleasantly surprised by how good this cd is. Yes, the radio favorites of Wrecking Ball and Adore make Bangerz musically strong. However, I also enjoyed Love Money Party feat. Big Sean and Do My Thing because they capture a music vibe of jolly songs that send the message of seeing the best that life has to offer. Banngerz by Miley Cyris is fine for those who are open-minded to the idea of hearing a fusion of pop and dance beats.

Inspired me to take up writing on the side

from Hyattsville Maryland
I have to admit that the inspiration I just wrote was the last thing I would expect to happen when I purchased this limitless (starring Bradley cooper) dvd at my walmart job for just five dollars back around September 2014. After all, my husband and I enjoyed watching limitless together when we saw it in movie theaters in 2011 and were both drawn to the idea of the possibilities that could be unleashed if a person can increase their intelligence/genius by just taking a pill. I was mainly looking to explore that possibility again when I purchased this limitless dvd,but something just clicked in me in the scene when he accomplishes the feat of writing his novel. There have also been a series of positive incidences that have also gave me a reminder on how seeking out wisdom and striving for the greatness of genius have been discussed; a natalie portman articIe online where she acknowledged the importance of intellectual growth (I intend to update this review later with one of the articles because I’m aware she is widely known for both her brains and beauty), coming across a book at my job where a woman realized that her beauty can only carry her so far and that her greater focus must be on wisdom, a local news article discussing benedict cumberbatch’s role in the imitation game, and a yahoo news connection on chris hemsworth starring in an upcoming movie based on someone known for their genius). However, I wish to avoid saying more on it and to just at least acknowledge that this movie limitless and the actor’s (Bradley cooper)portrayal inspired me to pursue a side writing career ( a new years resolution). Bradley cooper stars as the character of eddie morra, whose life turns 180 degree turn for the better when he is given a pill that expands his potential. Morra ends up attacting the wealth and love that he craves. However, he meets gets his life turned upside down by another powerful and wealth man named Carl Van loon (Robert DeNiro) who would like to exploit his abilities at morra’s expense. The following dvd extras are attributed to limitless; immortals, the warriors way, season of the witch, x-men first class.

My husband and I are fortunate in being able to have originally got the chance to see hot tub time machine back in early 2010 when it was released in movie theaters (we were still living in Orlando, florida during this time and saw hot tub time machine in a movie theater that was just a couple of miles from the university of central florida). Anyhow, imagine my delight when I saw this hot tub time machine dvd featured at my job as a holiday promo and I paid less than 3 dollars for this. It was fun getting the chance to watch this movie again of men who are given another chance to change their lives when they unintentionally are taken back to the time when they were teenagers. Obviously, the front of the dvd cover features john cusack, rob cordory, craig robinson, clark duke, and chevy chase. The dvd gives you a choice of the unrated and theatrical version. My husband and I enjoyed watching this move so much that we both agreed that we are definitely going to eventually check out hot tub time machine 2 ( we're just currently undecided whether we are going to see it in the movies or once it is on dvd). The plot to hot tub time machine is fun to watch because the men are given the chance to go back in time to when they vacationed at a popular ski resort together. There is a giant stuffed teddy bear image on the actual dvd and the following trailers' modern family, our family wedding, and date night.

I bought this dvd set of hornets nest from my Walmart job back on September 30, 2014 and was amazed on all the information that this documentary packed in just one dvd. A sampler of some of the heartbreaking details in this dvd; mike boettcher and carlos boettcher are a father and son duo covering information on the Afghanistan war together, much of the footage shot in 2011, in Afghanistan i.e.ds are responsible for many of the us casualties in Afghanistan, the number of ied incidents in just Afghanistan since 2001 have went beyond 70,000, helmand province has claimed more casualties than any other province in Afghanistan, the following are some of the multiple soldiers who lost their lives in the conflict from Afghanistan, many of them who unintentionally left behind children and/or spouses and won awards for their military conduct; bryan a burjess-1981 to 2011(listed to have dearly missed his kids), Jeremy p Faulkner-1987 to 2011, dustin j feldhaus 1990 to 2011, jameson l. lindskog 1987-2011-pictured with his wife, ofren arrechuga 1982 to 2011- he was pictured with his young toddler, frank e. adamski 1984 to 2011 pictured with young baby daughter and what looks to be his father, bryan a burgess 1981-2011 pictured with one of his babies, and more names of soldiers and documentary details that could take up the length of another review.
