Crazy Heart (2009, Movie)

Jeff Bridges certainly deserved the Oscar for his just outstanding acting as Bad Blake, alcoholic, womanizer, no longer popular Country Western (CW) singer, making the rounds with his old school music act at places like bowling alleys.

Overall, Crazy Heart is a delightful movie of despair and redemption, with outstanding acting, and the script is not that plausible though.

Full Metal Jacket (1987, Movie)

A few critics have claimed that this movie is really two movies. The first being about Marine boot camp at Paris Island and the other half strictly about experience in the Vietnam War. One of the most authentic depictions of warfare ever put on the big screen, the film teems with howling madness, stark images and troubling questions about duty, honor and sacrifice.

Mike Loo's Wedding at Richard Nixon Library



Right before attending Mike & Chi's wedding ceremony, we spent brief touring at the Richard Nixon's Museum and garden. In addition to Nixon's birth place, Pat's rose garden, there was even a real Marine one helicopter dedicated to late President Nixon. It was a quaint place.

The wedding ceremony was cozy and fashioned. I could tell Jean and Joe were very happy and tired. The newly wed are lovely and full of energy. Congratulations to the couple!

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947, Movie)

Before the very first frame of this picture begins you are clued in to the magnitude of what is to come through the powerful and beautiful score by Bernard Herrman and the first visual of the English coastline. With little finances Lucy decides to move to White Cliff, a quaint little seaside town and sets her heart on living in Gull Cottage. The apparition of Captain, Daniel Gregg, unable to scare Lucy away, decides to co-exist with her. This is a uniquely warm hearted FANTASY/ROMANCE written with witty dialogue and interspersed with humor. Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison star as mismatched lovers. This 1947 film was based on a 1945 novel by R.A. Dick and screenplay by Phillip Dunne.
