A boy tries to fit in at a new school while his family deals with the loss of hos brother and his mother's jerky boyfriend.
This was a very cute kids movie. I thought that there was a great message for being creativity and learning. It tackled that fact that not all kids learn the same way and not all kids do well on standardized tests. Just because a kids doesn't learn the same as most doesn't mean they aren't small it's just mean they interact differently with the world.

The story of the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. It's a look at what people did in order to save money by cutting corners. How those choices effected the lives of the people who worked on the rig and the family back home waiting for answers. The story of how everyone survived the catastrophe.
This is a story the effects everyone alive at the time of this spill. I remember being in the gulf waiting for my older brother to get married and hoping that they oil would wait just a little bit so they could have their ceremony. So, I remember the event after more so than the explosion happened. This movie though was great. It gave you a better idea of what happened on the rig, and it told about the aftermath of everything too with the trial. Over all a great movie.

Snowden
Release Date: September 16, 2016
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden
Shailene Woodley as Lindsay Mills
Directed by: Oliver Stone
Written by: Kieran Fitzgerald and Oliver Stone based off the books by Anatoly Kucherena and Luke Harding
The story of the life and career of Edward Snowden and his choice to speak the truth about the government watching people and his run from treason.
The film was better than I expected and I got to learn why Snowden was such a big deal. When this all happened I was not interested in what was going on. I was thinking that I was ok cause I didn't put anything on internet that was going to get me in trouble. Then when I saw that it was so much more than that, I understood the issue better. It was a very good movie and Joseph Gordon-Levitt was brilliant as always!

This was the surprise movie of the year for me. When I first heard about the film I was unimpressed but I decided to go because I knew that it might be a decent film. However, I think it's one of the best all around films this year. Everything about the film was beautiful, and joyous to watch. I loved every aspect of this film. The clothes were a character of their own. You laugh, you cry, and you wish you could be friends with Tilly. I would really recommend this film for anyone to see.

Bridget Jones's Baby
Release Date: September 16, 2016
Starring: Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones
Colin Firth as Mark Darcy
Patrick Dempsey as Jack
Directed by: Sharon Maguire
Written by: Helen Fielding, Dan Mazer, and Emma Thompson
Bridget Jones is at it again. When we find that her and Mr. Darcy did not last she is off on another adventure. When her co-worker takes her to a music festival for the weekend, she hooks up with a random guy named Jack. Then a few days later she hook up with Mark Darcy and now she is pregnant and has two men fighting over her and the baby.
It was funny, sweet and cute but not nearly as good as the first two. I do like that they finally tied up all the ends of her story but they could have done without the third movie.

Steve, the mastermind behind the whole scam, sends David down to Mexico with a fake identity and promises to send him his cut of the robbery when things calm down. Instead of sending him money he sends down a hitman to kill him so no one finds out who really has all of the cash. When David finds out what really is going on all hell breaks loose and he is now desperate to get home to clear his name.
I thought that the film was entertaining but not a real laugh out load comedy. It was a good film to watch and it would cheer you up when your day is not going great but I was not in stiches through the whole film. However, Jason Sudeikis is what made the film for me. I was rolling in the aisles whenever he was one the screen.
