Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008, Documentary)

This is one of the most "raw" movies I've ever seen. It is a heartfelt tribute to Andrew Bagby from his closest friend, director Kurt Kuenne. I truly admire the Bagbys' passion and them becoming activists to help change laws that seriously need repairs.

Dolphin Tale (2011, Movie)

What a heartwarming, compelling tale, and the fact it is based on a true story of a real dolphin named Winter who lost her tail, makes it even better. Winter who plays herself, is adorable. It's a very inspiring movie.

Skin (2008, Movie)

Based on a true story the heart and soul of this film makes the movie a success. This film explores the incredibly complex role race and white privilege play in all of our consciences and hearts in the most extreme setting. The New South Africa came too late for her but I hope that movies like this which explore the wrenching truth and sorrow of those times ultimately help lead to greater healing and humanity in the world.

Salt (2010, Movie)

The actions scenes are very creative and suspenseful. The film is about a CIA operative. When fingered as a Russian spy she goes on the run with the intent to clear her name and protect her husband. The movie pretends to "keep you guessing" as to whether she is a spy/double agent, but by the end you probably won't care.

Having been invited to perform a dance number 'Red is red and green is green', and in the mean time, enjoying the party at 國防醫學院 annual reunion. Every girl was so gorgeous and their faces just glowed with happiness.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011, Movie)

This is a prequel to the 1968 Charlton Heston original. The tagline for the movie is "Evolution becomes revolution"; but the source for the intelligence of the apes in this film is not natural evolution, but genetic engineering intended to create a cure for Alzheimer's. Yes, the film does provide a reasonable explanation as to how apes could inherit the Earth, but overall the story focuses less on science and more on relationships, primary those between Franco and his ailing father (played fondly by Lithgow) and Franco and his pet/friend/research chimp Caesar.

Turtle: The Incredible Journey (2011, Documentary)

It truly is an inspiration about what sea turtles go experience throughout their lives along with the dangers and beauty they encounter in the ocean. Amazing visuals about this persistent creature - loggerhead turtle - that braves so much from birth to maturity to continue the cycle of life. I especially like the song 'Thank you, stars'.


"Thank You, Stars "

Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.

Some people think it's far away,
Some know it's with them everyday.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.

To some it's the strength to be apart,
To some it's a feeling in the heart.
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home.

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air,
When they try to blow it away 's when you know it will always be there.
Some call it faith, some call it love.
Some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you stars.
Thank you stars,
Thank you stars,
Thank you stars.
