A Man Called Otto Available Now!!

March 22, 2023 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

A Man Called Otto

About the Movie

Based on the # 1 New York Times bestseller “A Man Called Ove,” A Man Called Otto tells the story of Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grump who no longer sees purpose in his life following the loss of his wife. Otto is ready to end it all, but his plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves in next door, and he meets his match in quick-witted Marisol. She challenges him to see life differently, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world around. A heartwarming and funny story about love, loss, and life, A Man Called Otto shows that family can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places.

My Take on the Movie

I love Tom Hanks, but did not know what to expect with this movie. You usually think about Tom as a happy go lucky actor in his movie. In this movie you see him in a new way. His character us heartwarming but also sad in it’s own way too, There are light-hearted moments but also moments where you are brought to the brink of tears. The movie is a drama and you have to keep that in mind to know to not watch for the comedy. You will definitely be drawn in and kept engaged by this character and by the acting of the incomparable Tom Hanks. He pulls off this character and does it with great skill while at the same time being with a great cast as well. While this is a movie that the more seasoned of us can and will appreciate, the movie will also stand the test of time for all adults to watch and appreciate!

She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel; Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric; Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian; Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle; Jacob Tremblay (“Luca”) as the voice of Flounder; Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as Queen Selina; Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby; with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) as King Triton; and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula.

Nominated for numerous Academy Awards® including Best Picture, the James Cameron-directed film became the third highest-grossing box office film of all-time and set a new benchmark for visual effects. Produced by Cameron and his longtime partner Jon Landau, the Lightstorm Entertainment production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis and Kate Winslet. Joining the illustrious adult cast are talented newcomers Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass and Jack Champion.

Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in the present day, a group of disparate teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin their parents committed two decades ago…as well as their own.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is the fourth television series in the Pretty Little Liars franchise, which is set within the same continuity as the previous series. Bailee Madison (Parental Guidance, Just Go With It), Chandler Kinney (Zombies 2, Lethal Weapon), Zaria (Two Distant Strangers)?, Malia Pyles (Baskets, Memoria), and Maia Reficco (Evita, Kally’s Mashup) star as our new generation of Liars.

Television. I. Marlene King (who developed the original “Pretty Little Liars”), Michael Grassi, Caroline Baron, and Alloy’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo are also executive producers of the series, which is based upon Alloy’s bestselling series of books by Sara Shepard. Jimmy Gibbons serves as a producer for Muckle Man Productions.

My take on the series

This was a power-packed series that will keep you on the edge of your seat, or at least it did that for me. The series has great suspense, action and more. On top of this you get great characters, some that you like and some not, but in the end the dynamic is built in such a way that it keeps bringing you back for more episode by episode. I was really impressed by the series in all and I think you will be too!

DVD Review – The Staircase

December 26, 2022 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The Staircase

About the DVD

Inspired by a true story, The Staircase follows writer and war veteran Michael Peterson after the suspicious death of his wife Kathleen. On December 9, 2001, Michael makes a frantic 911 call reporting Kathleen has fallen down the stairs of their Durham, NC home. But when the district attorney brings murder charges, members of Michael’s blended family must choose whose side they’re on and which version of events to believe. As the case becomes engulfed in a media circus, a French documentary film crew arrives to meticulously chronicle its many twists and turns. Intertwining multiple perspectives and timelines, this gripping limited series explores the elusive nature of truth, while serving as an intimate portrait of a family’s grief.

My Take on the Series

I always get drawn into these types of stories and this docuseries does not disappoint. The series had great actors and a storyline that really drew you in. Each episode adds to the mystery and through the episodes you really get to see and play out a number of the theories that came up in the actual case. The story is tragic and at times the series is not always easy to watch, especially as you relive the last moments of Kathleen again and again. The story is so complex and every episode really keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Movie Review – Strong Fathers Strong Daughters

December 17, 2022 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Strong Fathers Strong Daughters

Strong Fathers Strong Daughters

When a wealthy businessman learns of his daughter’s sudden engagement to a missionary, he embarks on a quest to keep her closer to home. But when his efforts go awry, he must reconsider what it means to be a strong father. A heartfelt journey of a parent who is desperately trying to hold on to his children learns to trust in God with their future instead of controlling his daughter’s narrative. The movie explores the widely relatable challenges and joys of parenting and faith.

Both set of couples, respectively playing Steve and Connie (Bart Johnson and Robyn Lively) and Carlos and Bella (David Barrera and Maria Canals–Barrera), are also married in real life. Just like their
characters, they are raising children of their own, resulting in an on–screen dynamic that feels authentic and meaningful.

About the Movie
As someone that was a fan of the book with the same name I was excited to watch this movie. While it is not the same as the book I can see the parallels and to be honest I love how Sony Pictures captured the essence of the book through the characters and the plot of the movie. One of the things that I loved in this movie was the journey that the father went on to be a better father. The movie is heartfelt and allows you to  see the power of God in trusting that the future will work out instead of as a father trying to control the fate of your daughter.
