Tyler Perry's A Fall From Grace Movie Review

This movie is about Grace Waters(Crystal Fox) a middle aged woman  with a kind heart. Grace was accused of killing her husband so She was assigned a public defendant Jasmine Bryant (Bresha Webb) who had  never tried a case before because her clients always settled for a plea deal. Jasmine was sent to bargain for a plea deal for Grace because Grace already confessed that she was guilty of the murder. Jasmine felt that Grace was innocent and different from her other clients so she decided to take the  case for trial in the court.

Jasmine investigates the case and convinces Grace to open up finally narrating the story of events leading up to the murder through flash backs. Through the story it was shown how Grace was mistreated by her husband until she snapped and this evokes sympathy from Jasmine making her more determined to win the case.

I don't want to spoil the movie if you have not watched it but Grace suffered because she was kind and her so called husband saw that as her weakness and took advantage of her. This shows that we need to be careful of the people we allow to become close to us. Grace was a victim because she was kind and timid which is sad because it happens in real life. No matter  what try to be strong around people because if you are weak and timid you will become vulnerable and prey to those with bad intentions.  Always remember that you can't trust  everyone so be alert at all times.  That is all for now guys. Remember, be careful of the friends you keep and those you trust they might just be wolves in sheep clothing.

Turkey Drop movie review

Are you a risk taker? Or are you scared of taking risks? Life is full of dangers so taking risks is  a part of life. If you don't take risks you'll be stucked in a particular position all your life. Some people don't like when change occurs in any area of their life e.g they want to stay in the same neighbourhood or keep the same job e.t.c but change is the only constant thing in life. In this movie, Lucy (Olivia Holt) had been with her boyfriend Jordan (Tyler Perez) for 5 years and she knew that he was planning on breaking up with her when she came back home for thanksgiving holiday. Lucy has a whole life planned out so Jordan breaking up with her was not an option.

 Lucy saw them getting married and having kids together in her future so she did everything within her power to stop Jordan from  realing up with her. Lucy changed and did things she normally wouldn't do but because it would make Jordan happy she did them. But was it all worth it at the end?

If you are in a re6you font have to pretend to be someone else to please your partner.  He/she should love you just the way you are and if your partner wants you  to change  feel free to walk away. There is someone out there who will recognize your value and wouldn't want to change a thing.

Do not be scared of change like Lucy. Life is unpredictable and anything can happen at anytime. Do not be afraid to try new things, visit new places or meet new people. Also, Change can be healthy sometimes . It can also be a sign of growth and maturity .  If you feel something is not working out for you be free to try something new. In Lucy's case she was scared oh her boyfriend leaving her but little did she know that being with him was preventing her from being with the person that actually loves her. Change might not be easy everytime but trust me it  will be worth it at the end. 

That is all for now my lovely reader till next time. Don't be afraid to try something new.

Just Mercy movie review

Can you imagine that you were wrongly accused of a crime and you went to jail because of it? I know, God forbid!! But that is the storyline of this movie. It is about a true life event that happened to Walter Mcmillian in the 1980s.
    Walter Mcmillian (Jamie Foxx) was wrongfully accused of murdering a white teenage girl in Alabama during the 1980s and he was sent to death row in jail. Many lawyers had tried to help him get a retrial because there was no solid evidence to prove that he was guilty of  the crime but all to no avail.
Then he met Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan) a young graduate from Harvard university with the passion to save innocent prisoners from death row with the help of his organisation Equal Juatice Initiative.   Will Bryan be able to get Justice for Walter and take him home to his family? Or does Walter die because of a crime he did not commit?

This movie is heart touching and it arouses sympathy from the audience especially because it is based on a true life story.  8n the past, the justice system I  america was biased and crooked especially to African Americans.  Even till today innocent people still find themselves 8n hail all over the world. The story of Walter reminds me of Joseph in the Bible when he went to jail because of potiphar's wife. Joseph was in prison for so long but he did not lose hope or faith in God and God did not disappoint him. The God that brought Joseph out of the priaon in a big way is still alive today. Like Walter or Bryan you might not know who to trust. The only one that you can really trust is God. Men may fail you but God never fails if you trust in him. Trust God today and he will turn your sorrows to joy and your weeping to laughter in Jesus name. Amen.

That is all for now guys. God loves you so much. Trust in him today and all will be well. Have a blessed week!!

Nappily ever after

People may have a plan for themselves and think they have life all figured out but life can surprise anyone at anytime and plans don't  always workout. In Nappily ever after, Violet Jones (Sanaa Lathan) has been living a life mapped out for her by her mother Pauletta (Lynn Whitfield). To Pauletta, appearance is all that matters and she would do anything to make sure her small family always looked good especially her daughter. Pauletta made Violet feel very ugly she always had to straighten her curly african -america  hair daily . This scarred Violet and gave her low self esteem.

As women we should not let our beauty be defined by our appearance or by what others expect us to be but our beauty should come from within.  We should know our worth as humans both men and women.  If a woman feels beautiful inside no matter how many times another person calls her ugly she does not believe it. Instead she keeps her head high and keeps on moving. Live your life for yourself don't try to change your appearance to please someone else. It's your live and if you know youre worth you are going to live it to the fullest. We need to know that we are all unique in our own way this will help with our self confidence, self esteem and self love. Without self love one can not be truly happy and your happiness is very important. When you know your self worth you will have peace of mind and happiness. This in turn will affect other areas of your life .


Back to this movie now, when Violet discovered her self worth she was happy and she wouldn't trade it for anything.  Violet lived a life she wanted not a life someone else wanted for her. Check yourself today are you really happy with the life you are living ? If not the power to change it is in your hands.

Breakthrough Movie review

Breakthrough is a Christian movie based on a true life event. Its storyline is similar to that of Miracles from Heaven because in both movies the main characters suffered from sicknesses. The movie speaks on perseverance, humility and gratitude.
This movie is of  a teenager John Smith (Marcel Ruiz) who fell through a frozen lake while playing  with his friends. He was underwater for 15 minutes before the ambulance came and his heart stopped beating. Joyce Smith (Chrissy Metz) his mother was told that he was not responding to treatment and he had no pulse. Devastated she cried to God and John's heart begins to beat. Despite the miracle the doctor still told John's parents not to ua e hope that John might not recover and even if he does he would have severe brain damage. But does Joyce give up? Does John recover?

This movie is heart touching and the cast were able to carry the audience along through the rollercoaster ride of emotions they passed through. Although it is different from what lovers of faith based movies are used to because it is more real and reflects the life of a true American Christian. This makes the movie unique and enables it to capture the hearts of the audience.

Swiped

In this recent generation, most youngsters are almost always on their mobile devices or laptops. This has reduced the rate of socialization between people. The rate at which we interact has reduced probably because everyone is online and there is an app for almost anything. This comedy shows how young girls are desperate for guys attention and will do anything even agree to a hookup just to get noticed by guys.

     Swiped is about James Singer (Kendall Ryan Sanders) who is a smart college freshman. His family members are worried about him because he is shy and always on his phone or computer so he has no friends. When his mom and sister dropped him off for his first semester they encouraged him to socialize with people and make new friends in college. James's roommate turns out to be the most popular student in the department,  Lance Black (Noah Centineo).  Lance is a play boy who just wants girls without any attachment or commitment. His ideal girl will just hookup with him without spending the night, asking for his name or anticipate a second meeting. He and his group of friends thought of an idea to come up with a dating app that will make this possible.
 They discovered that James was so good and coding and creating apps so they ask him to make the app offering an opportunity that is difficult for him to say no to which is the chance to study at the Massechusets Institute of Technology (MIT). James creates the app and named it jungle and everyone seemed to like it at first but after a while the guys started taking girls on this app for granted and hurting their feelings and he realized it was a bad idea.He decides to make things right and shut down the apps.  Does he succeed? Watch the movie to find out.

This movie satirises lustful makes who just want to use girls and also ladies who fall for them because they do not know their value and self worth. There is no form of sexual activity in the movie but it appears to be on the mind of almost everyone. Pictures of ladies in their underwear are shown and uploaded online. Foul languages and some swearing occur in few scenes. A character commits briefly while another one farts loudly. Adults drink in several scenes as well as college age individuals.

In my opinion,  the movie succeed in passing its message of self value, self love , the importance of a good relationship and the dangers of rushing into a romantic relationship  . I recommend this movie to young adults especially the females. It was released on November 6,2018 and it runs for 93 minutes.  It was directed by Ann Deborah Fishman and it is not rated.

Otherhood


Parents try to bring up their children in the best way they can. They shower them with love and try their best to make them love a comfortable and happy life. But sometimes when children grow up and become independent, parents are often neglected which make them feel as if they failed as parents. Otherhood is a story of three friends Helen (Felicity Huffman), Gillian (Patricia Arquette) and Carol (Angela Basset) who felt abandoned by their grown up sons.
 Helen, Carol and Gillian have been friends for long. They met when their sons were still very young and as their children became friends, they also formed a strong bond of friendship with each other.

The movie begins in a town called Poughkeepsie when the three women gather together for the celebration of mother's day which they spend together every year. They find comfort in each other because their sons have moved to New York city and hardly gets in touch with them. Their sons forget mothers day every year so the women spend it together but this year, the mothers get drunk and make a spontaneous decision to travel down to New York city to spend some time with their sons. The journey leads to the three women discovering new things about themselves and about their children.

This movie according to www.rottentomatoes.com is a "soulful, hilarious,and honest exploration of life after motherhood". It is based on a novel  called whatever makes you happy  by William Sutcliffe. This movie talks about issues like middle-age anxiety,  parent-adult children  and Infedility. Expect few offensive languages in this movie.  There is a scene of a man and a  woman kissing and trying to undress but they are stopped in a funny way but the man's backside was shown briefly and he found out that the lady was underage. A gay relationship is shown. Characters drink alcohol which leads to arguments, drunkenness and intoxication.

Overall, the message this movie is trying to portray is life after parenthood. As children mature and grow parents needs to change their life and live for themselves. The three mothers realized that their sons were adults and that they had to redefine their relationships with their sons, their spouses, their friends and most especially themselves. The otherhood was directed by Cindy Chupack. Written by Mark Andrus and Cundy Chupack. It was released on August 2nd, 2019 and it runs for 120 minutes. It is rated R for language, sexual references and brief nudity.
