It is called the Family Man Starring Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni, Don Cheadle, Jake Milkovich, Jeremy Piven, Makenzie Vega And a whole wonderful cast of people! 

The movie starts off with a man named Jack Campbell and a woman named Kate Reynolds who have been together since college are at the JFK airport, Jack is about to leave to take up a 12 month internship in London with Barclays.

 Kate is afraid the separation will bring tension and detrimental to their current and lovely, over the moon, romantic relationship, she asks him not to go to London.

Jack tells her their love is strong and can conquer anything and that the internship will be beneficial to their future together, well we then see it is thirteen years later and we see Jack is a now a wealthy Bachelor and wall executive in New York City with Millions at his disposal.

 At Work he is putting together a Multi-Million dollar Merger and has ordered an emergency meeting on Christmas Day disregarding his employees desires to spend time with their families, while he is in his office on Christmas Eve he gets a message to contact Kate  Jack is thinking if Kate wants to reconnect with him, he decides not to return her call.

 He leaves the office and is on his way home Jack goes into a convince store when a young man named Cash demands that he has a winning lottery ticket that is worth 238 dollars, the store clerk refuses him and he tells him the ticket is a forgery.

Cash pulls out a gun and Jack tries to defuse the situation and offers to by the ticket calling it a business deal he accepts Jack's offer, Jack is outside with Cash and he is patronizingly trying to help Cash, who feels like he is being preached to asks Jack if anything is missing from his own life.

 Jack haplessly says he has everything he need, Cash tells him that he has brought this upon himself and he goes back to his Pen House to sleep, the next morning a turn of events happens he wakes up and he finds out that he is with Kate Reyonlds in a suburban New Jersey Home and has two children named Annie and Josh.

 He is freaking out and is really confused about what is happening he hops in a van and drives to New York City, his doorman and his neighbor unfortunately don't remember him he is getting frustrated and bent out of shape because they don't have a recollection of who he is, he tells them countless times that he lives in the building.

He leaves the building and he goes to his office guess what? No one recognizes him there either, he tells them that he is the president of the office where he works he comes to find out, there is a new president now he goes back outside and he runs into Cash who is driving a Ferrari which was Jack's car and he has a whole new wardrobe, he offers to explain what is happening to him and gives a vague reference to the organization he tells jack that he is getting a glimpse of something that will help him to figure out for himself what is important in life.

Jack is back at the house and he sees Kate and tries to tell the truth about what's happening and she reacts angrily, in return of the situation he is in he receives some help from his young daughter Annie she believes Jack is an Alien and her real dad will return soon to her and her brother Josh.

 He is struggling with adjusting to fatherhood and the modest family life he finds out that he is a tire salesman working for Kates father and she is a non- profit lawyer, he finds out the life he would have had if he stayed in the USA, and he resents Kate for holding him back.

 He later apologizes to Kate and he is growing closer to Annie and her baby brother Josh, he is realizing he never fell out of love with Kate.

 He is enjoying family life and begins succeeding at his sales job, he then runs into someone he knows his former boss Peter Lassiter, he invites Jack to his office, after a short interview Lassiter offers Jack a position, while he is excited by the potential salary and other perks including a apartment in Manhattan.

Kate is less certain and she tells Jack they should be thankful for the life they have and created together Jack returns home and finds a plane ticket to London, upon closer examination he realizes he did take the flight and then came back the next day to be with Kate.

Kate is reminded of Jack's choice and returns his feelings by telling him she is prepared to follow him and move the family in order to do just as Jack did for her, Jack encounters Cash at the Grocery Store and is frightened by the idea of leaving the life he is previously in which he now loves and doesn't want to leave behind.

 Cash reminds him this was just a glimpse of a life that he could have if he would have stayed with Kate, Jack returns home again and watches Annie and Josh sleep, he returns to his room and tries to watch Kate sleep he ends up getting tired, he wakes up and finds himself back to his old life on Christmas Day.

Jack returns to his office and making plans to go to Aspen to close a big Acquisition Deal to prevent it from failing before he does that he plans to go see Kate and she is an unwed corporate lawyer preparing to move to Paris, she only called him to return a box of his old possessions, Jack makes a suggestion and asks if they can meet for Coffee she tells him look her up if he's ever in Paris. 

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens with Kate and Jack, I can tell you it is a happy ending and will leave you with a smile on your face and joy in your Heart.

 I decided to write about this movie because I love family and it is a really good story it really draws you into the story and pulls on your heart strings and you can feel the emotions of what all the characters are feeling at that moment in time.

My family is my Heart I love visiting my family and spending time with my family, I stay in touch with all of my family members because I enjoy talking with them and I want them to know that I love and care about them and that I am thinking of them.

My family has been there for me through everything.... I can feel all the love and care they have for me pour into me and my heart, Spend as much time with family as you can, life is fun, lovely, and Golden... It is also short always remember to tell your family or friend or whoever you are close with what is on your heart while they are still here to hear it.

  It is easy to say I can tell them this tomorrow or next time I see them, you don't want to let the moment pass you by because something may end up happening to the person and then that chance will be gone... Cherish the moment.. and seize every opportunity you have with your family and friends.

 I seized every opportunity I had with my friend Kelly, she was such a joy and a beautiful lady inside and out she had a big heart of Gold, I first met her at an AKA Health Event And when I started talking with her I learned she is also a Nittany Lion and attended Penn State.

And from that moment on we became very good friends and she lit up every room she was in... and always had the brightest and happiest smile... one of my favorite moments with her is when my mom did an AKA Photo Shoot and Kelly was there She was in the room hyping up all the ladies who were getting their photos taken, My mom went ahead and she stood In front of the camera and Kelly started Hyping her up and telling her all kinds of things to make her smile and be happy throughout the photo shoot! 

She did an incredible job with hyping my mom up throughout the photo session.... That is a moment I will always treasure I can say so many things about Kelly and all the memories and moments we shared together I will say I am forever blessed and grateful and thankful to have had a Kelly Experience... She truly changed me for Good! 

I will always have a special place in my heart for her... One fun thing I shared with her is She always loved my selfies, and would tell me I can't wait to see your next selfies... Yass Girl!! 

I know you love your selfies, You are a selfie Queen! At times when I take a selfie, I think of her often and smile and I know she's loving my selfies and saying Yass Girl! Don't let the moment pass you by.... Say what you want to say right at the moment Don't wait!

My favorite scene from the movie is when Jack is freaking out about the new life he is in, and no one remembers who he is even when he is explaining to them who he is.. they still don't have a clue that scene makes me laugh a lot!

 I also like the scene where he starts getting close with Annie and Josh, Annie is helping him out and showing him how to take care of Josh! 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family film!

 It Stars Leigh-Allyn Baker, Bradley Steven Perry, Bridgit Mendler, Jason Dolley, Mia Talerico, Eric Allan Kramer and a whole wonderful cast... 

The movie starts off with the Duncan family preparing to visit Amy's parents in Palm Springs Florida for Christmas, while they are preparingTeddy asks her mom for permission to travel with her best friend Ivy to travel to Florida for Spring Break.

 Amy refuses to let Teddy travel by herself, they make it to the airport and teddy is still hoping to go with Ivy to Florida for spring break.

 Teddys dad Bob tells her if she can get her own plane ticket she can go to Florida, a couple minutes ago by and they are hearing their plane number announced to go on the plane, after they hear the plane number announced they start to run through the airport to make it to the plane on time, and check in at the desk before they can sit down on the plane  the lady at the desk told them they made it just in time before take off and they are good to go.

They make it on to the plane and they are making sure there kids are ok and comfortable in their seats and putting their suitcases  in the bin above their seats, while they are getting situated and comfortable there is announcement heard on the plane by one of the flight attendants  the announcement is the plane is overbooked because It is a full flight of people.

The attendant asks anyone to give up their seat for a free ticket to go anywhere else they would like to travel, Teddy says that she will give up her seat for anyone who would like it, she sees this as an opportunity to go to Florida.

 Amy tells bob what Teddy is doing and she tells him that she is going to go with her to make sure she is ok and safe, Amy doesn't think teddy is ready to travel by herself just yet,  they make it to the check in desk at the airport and learn while they are there the next flight to Palm Springs is in three days after Christmas.

 They are having some trouble at the check-in desk, Amy ends up getting into an argument with the lady and having a confrontation, unfortunately she ends up getting escorted out of the airport by security, along with her daughter Teddy, Teddy suggests they take the bus to Palm Springs.

 The rest of the Duncan family arrives safely in Palm Springs they have a couple of mishaps and tensions start arising uh-oh lol! Bob is facing constant criticism from Amy's mother Petunia, Charlie breaks a lot of items in her grandmothers house, Pj Gets an unfortunate case of Sunburn, after accidentally using suntan oil instead of Sunblock, Gabe teaches his grandfather how to play video games, Hank ends up getting addicted to the game.

We then see in the movie what Amy and Teddy are up to in their travel to Palm Springs Amy ends up getting Motion sickness, and she ends up hogging the bathroom because of that She and teddy end up getting kicked off the bus, now they are stranded and desperate Teddy and Amy rent a worn-out yugo they unfortunately end up destroying it.

They then take the car to a Junk-Yard teddy suggests they hitchhike to get a ride much to Amy's amusement, along the way they meet a nice elderly couple and hitch a ride with them, while they are getting to know each other and talking with one another, the woman deduces that Amy is pregnant much to Teddys surprise.

Amy tells teddy that her and Bob wanted to surprise the family with the news of the baby on Christmas later they discover their luggage has been stolen, Amy calls Bob and he decides to drive to las Vegas with Pj and Gabe to pick up Amy and teddy.

Guess what Teddy and Amy get into another argument, culminating in Amy angrily accusing teddy of ruining Christmas which makes Teddy tearfully storm off, they now have to make money to afford dinner, they decide to a show involving Christmas Carols and a staged fight , they end up reconciling which is good and they are both happy with one another.

While they are eating dinner Amy admits to Teddy that she didn't want her to go to Florida because she is afraid Teddy is growing up too fast, Teddy apologizes to her mom for leaving the plane.

Amy assures her Christmas isn't ruined, they then encounter the girl who stole their luggage her name is Jordan she tearfully explains to them that she has become stranded after running away from home to attend a country-cross musical festival that her mother didn't approve of her going to.

Amy because she is a mom and has daughters of her own sympathizes with Jordan and calls her mom, Teddy tells Jordan everything will be ok and that her mom is really good with connecting with people and talking with them, making them feel at ease, Teddy decides to give Jordan her plane ticket so Jordan can go home to her family, after seeing what Teddy did for Jordan that is when Amy acknowledges Teddy is responsible.

  You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens, I can assure you it is a happy ending for everyone.

And the whole Duncan family is smiling and happy, I decided to write about this movie because It is a good family, heart-warming movie that you can smile, laugh at, have a really enjoyable fun experience and enjoy the story that is being told in the movie.

 The movie makes you feel like you are in the movie and the characters really bring you into what they are feeling and going through it makes you think that they are actually the people they are playing in real life! 

My favorite character is Amy because She is fun, lively, likes to have a good time, she loves her family, and will do anything for them, she is very empathetic and has a kind, caring, loving heart and wants the best for her kids.... She kind of reminds me of myself in the empathetic and fun, lively sense because I am a very fun and lively person also and I am also an empathetic person I am very good at empathy... I am also a compassionate and joyous Gal! 

My favorite scene from the movie is where Amy gets into a confrontation with the lady at the airport, that is a very funny scene! 

I also like the scene where Teddy and Amy have their little Christmas singing fight, and the people who are watching them think its all part of the show they don't know they are actually doing that for real!

 I also like when Teddy finds out her mom is expecting with her fourth child, her and siblings all already think there's too many kids in the family lol.. Teddy is excited about the new baby coming, when the family finds out the baby news they are all excited too!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family, heart-warming, comedic, loving joyous Christmas Movie!

Free Willy


Free Willy - Wikipedia

Hey Everyone,  I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving! 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Free Willy

It stars Jason James Ritcher and a whole wonderful Cast .

 The movie starts off with the pacific Northwest Coastline a pod of orcas is tracked down by whalers an adolescent male orca is captured and separated from his family.

And he is sold to the northwest park, a few months go by and a twelve year old named Jesse who was left by his estranged mother six years ago, fled from cooperton with his fellow orphans and spends three days roaming Portland, begging for money he is also stealing food.

He attempts to avoid the police he and his friend Perry later that night break into the adventure park unaware they triggered the alarm to go off, they are putting graffiti on the walls when he comes face to face with the orca in the water tank before he gets caught by the police.

 A man named Dwight tells him Glenn and Annie Greenwood would love to be his foster parents, Jesse who hopes to be reunited with his mother one day begrudgingly goes with them to their home in Astoria, to avoid being sent to juvenile hall if he leaves again.

Jesse is allowed to make up for his vandalism by cleaning and repainting the observation area, while he is there he forms a bond with the orca named Willy who is a wonderful and phenomenal Orca.

He enjoys Jesse's harmonica playing, with his probation soon ending and his job is almost up he decides to sneak out into the night and see willy he ends up falling in the tank, he almost drowns in the tank Willy saves him and brings him to the surface.

 Randolph and Rae Willy's willy's perspective caretaker and trainer/veterinarian notice that Jesse is the only human normally ill-tempered Willy responds too and eventually Jesse is offered a summer job, he starts to warm up to the Greenwoods.

 Park Owner Dial sees Jesse and Willy in hopes of finally making money from willy who has recently this far has been costing him money, on the opening day he refuses to perform due to being antagonized by the children in the observation area.

 Jesse is unable to get Willy to do tricks with dealing with pressure from spectators expect the Greenwoods and Dwight he tearfully storms off.

 Willy cracks the tank with his stress induced- rage having had enough of the children's constant banging, Jesse plans to find his mother despite Dwight affirming she doesn't want him, he sneaks out to stop by the tank to say goodbye to Willy, before leaving something responds to Willy's calling again.

Jesse follows the responses and realizes Willy is communicating with his pod, Randolph explains to Jesse that Dial plans to hurt Willy and collect the million dollar insurance money.

 Jesse hatches a plan to return Willy back to the ocean with Rae and Randolph helping him they get a forklift to transfer Willy from tank to Glen's pickup truck Randolph and Jesse stole.

Jesse calls Glen and Annie for help with Willy they arrive at the scene and at first reluctant to help Jesse pleads with them and they end up helping them with Willy, they make a brief stop at a carwash to get willy wet more, Glen drives his truck to Dawson's Marina and smashes through the gate, he backs willy into the water. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next, I decided to write about this movie because It is an amazing and beautiful wonderful story and will truly touch your heart the movie really brings you into the story and what is happening with every character in the movie.

 You especially see how magnificent and majestic Willy and how much he wants to be in the ocean and with his pod Willy is really kind and caring and he really loves Jesse they become really good and incredible friends.

 In the movie you will see how much Willy responds to Jesse and how grateful he is to Jesse for helping him get back into the ocean with his family, also Michael Jackson I assume you all know who Micheal Jackson is if you are not familiar with him He is the king of Pop and a childhood star and he has shared his gifts and talents with the world for fifty wonderful years and his music and his legacy lives on in the peoples lives and hearts who he has touched the song he has in this movie is Will you be there? It is a really good song and goes along amazingly with the movie, as soon as you hear the song you will be singing along with it and having such a joyous and wonderful time! 

I absolutely love Micheal Jackson he will forever be one of my favorite singers He just has such a kind and caring heart and has such a delightful presence about him that shines beautifully!

 He will forever be a part of everyone's heart he definitely loved to sing and dance! 

Oh Boy could he dance? He could do some dancing now and he was absolutely amazing at the moonwalk I was watching YouTube clips of some of his singing and I came upon where he was the Star of the Half-time Show and He made it to the stage and People just started screaming and were so excited, He was just standing there he had not even done anything yet.

He was just standing that's how strong his presence was and how much people loved him! He truly was the king of pop Inside and out!  I loved his movie this is it it's an awesome movie, It showed him preparing for this is it tour and all the songs that he was going to sing and dance too! It is an awesome movie check it out you will love it ! 

My Uncle says I have an old soul because I love all kinds of Music! I do love all music, like Aretha Franklin, the supremes, James Brown...Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson.. Music is my Heart and my second love! 

Singing is something I have loved to do since I was little, My mom even says she knows I am a singer because I shape my mouth the way singers do when they sing! 

She says I am an Alto and I have a nice sultry voice when I sing in that tone personally I think I am a soprano lol! 

I do think I have a nice alto voice and it sounds nice I like my soprano voice I have also heard my talking voice sounds like Michele Toussant,she talks over her larnyx just like me... I have learned to love my voice and be proud of the voice that I was blessed with and born with... I used to get made fun of about my voice and the way it sounded... I would often try to change it to appease the person that said it shouldn't sound like that... I learned from Cynthia Erivo to not let anyone change my voice or steal my voice because it is my voice ! 

And it is one I love and to be completely honest a lot of people love my voice and it brings a lot of people joy and happiness and is like music to their ears... I am going to keep using my voice and singing with the voice that I was blessed with and just say this is me! You can take it or leave it... I am taking my voice and going to keep on keeping on Just like Elphaba sings with all she's got and doesn't let anyone or anything stop her I am going to do the same and sing just like her, Micheal Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Clarkson and Whitney Houston

I also like the beautiful scenery and the ocean is such an incredible and calming color it looks so wonderful and just incredible... You can tell how excited Willy is to be out in the ocean and be free and just swim with his Pod and not have to worry about being stuck in a tank or doing any tricks or having any pressure on him to do anything besides swimming and just being himself.  

My favorite scene from the movie is when Jesse encourages willy to jump from where he is to get where he wants to go Jesse's encouragement works for Willy and he jumps over Willy's head and lands In the ocean it is such an incredible scene! 

The way the water goes up while Willy is jumping is such an incredible scene! It is like WOW when you get to that point of the movie! 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good and touching story that after you see it you will want to talk about it for years to come!
