Homeland: Season 4 Bluay Review

September 22, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Homeland-4th-Season
 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

 

While I was late to watching the earlier seasons of Homeland, I did binge watch the first three season earlier this summer. For me, this was the type of series that once you start you do not want to stop! is so action packed and each episode is a thrill ride full of suspense and drama as well. The actors in the cast have a great chemistry together and I, for one, love how well Claire Danes plays the main character in the show, Carrie Mathison. What is great about her portrayal of the character is that she shows that she is flawed, and that is ok. So get ready for twists and turns in this season, as it was a non-stop and fun season!

 

About Homeland Season Four

Gripping suspense escalates to a fever pitch in the brilliantly reinvented fourth season of this Emmy Award-winning thriller. In her new role as a CIA station chief, Carrie (Emmy winner Claire Danes) convinces Saul (Emmy nominee Mandy Patinkin) and Quinn to help her hunt down one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists. But when Carrie recruits a young Pakistani as an asset, the lines between right and wrong blur and the operation spins out of control. Facing unclear loyalties at every turn, Carrie must take extreme measures and risk everything to protect her country.

The Croods Bluay Movie #Giveaway #TheCroodsDVD

September 21, 2013 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

 

The Croods
 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

The relationship between a father and his daughter is a very precious thing. Some of the most touching scenes from movie history are the loving moments between dads and daughters. In The Croods, we watched as Eep and Grug slowly come to realize how much they truly love each other. Take a look at five of the most memorable dad and daughter moments in movie history.

 

Join the Croods on the journey of a lifetime in the epic comedy-adventure that “has the magical wonder of How To Train Your Dragon” – Jake Hamilton (Fox-TV). When their cave is destroyed, the Croods set out to explore a spectacular landscape filled with fantastic creatures, strange surprises…and a whole new world of adventure!

 

Eep and Grug – The Croods

 

Teenagers always go through that phase of life where they feel that they are being smothered by their parents. Eep is definitely feeling these emotions when her over-protective dad keeps her under tight boundaries.  But it turned out that Eep and Grug were more alike than they realized. Eep’s heart is broken when she thinks she lost her opportunity to tell her dad how much she loves him. In a very memorable moment, Eep and Grug are reunited and our hearts melt as we watch them embrace in a great big word that rhymes with Grug… a hug!

Charlie & Bella Swan – The Twilight Saga

 

Throughout the Twilight saga, there are multiple adorably awkward father-daughter moments shared between Charlie and Bella. Charlie may not always know exactly what he is doing, but there is no denying that he is an excellent father! Our favorite Charlie and Bella memory is the day of the wedding. Before heading off on her honeymoon, Charlie tells Bella how much she means to him and the two share a meaningful moment.

 

 

Bryan and Kim Mills – Taken

 

Every girl wants a father who makes them feel safe and is willing to protect them from any kind of harm that comes their way. Bryan Mills represents the ultimate dad in Taken and Taken 2 as he takes down anyone who comes between him and his daughter. Kim is lucky to have such a fierce father figure in her life and their relationship benefits from the difficult situation that she faces.

 

George & Annie Banks – Father of the Bride

 

In Father of the Bride, George might be having a hard time giving up his little girl, but in the end he accepts the wedding as a reality and the two have a major bonding moment.  On the night before her wedding, Annie and George play basketball in the driveway and hundreds of female viewers thought back to the times they played sports with their dad as a kid.

 

Graham, Sophie, and Olivia – The Holiday 

Being a single dad and raising two daughters is no easy task. In The Holiday, Graham seems to be one of the greatest single parents we’ve ever seen. From being Mr. Napkin Head with his two adorable daughters to building a dreamy tent with fluffy pillows and hand-cut stars, Graham goes the extra step to make sure Sophie and Olivia have a great childhood. We love the moment when we find out that the father and his daughters call themselves “the three musketeers.”

Other Life Changing Journeys in Film

A “magnificent and moving” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) motion picture event that has been hailed as “a masterpiece” (Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times), taking in over $500 million in worldwide box office.  LIFE OF PI follows Pi Patel, a young man on a fateful voyage who, after a spectacular disaster, is marooned on a lifeboat with the only other survivor, a fearsome 450 lb Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker. Hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery Pi and his majestic companion make an amazing and unexpected connection.

 

Pi experiences an incredible adventure out on the open waters that forever affects his life. Here we’ll count down the Top 10 journeys in film that changed the characters’ lives, including Seven Years in Tibet, The Lord of the Rings and Into the Wild.

 

BATMAN BEGINS

Having grown up in Wayne Manor, where every need was catered for, Bruce Wayne’s life changed irrevocably when his parents were murdered. Unable to live with the pain Bruce ran away from Gotham and began a journey that would take him across continents and eventually to the training ground of ‘The League of Shadows’. This journey certainly changed Bruce’s life forever, forcing him to face his deepest fears. Initially keen to join the league, Bruce soon became wary of their motives and ended up returning to Gotham to create his alter ego, Batman.

 

SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET

Austrian Heinrich Harrer (Brad Pitt) was a skiing champion and passionate climber who decided to climb Nanga Parbat in British India. When WWII broke out, Harrer and his team were arrested and lodged in Dehra Dun’s P.O.W. Camp. He successfully escaped along with Peter Aufschnaiter (David Thewlis), and they ended up in the holy city of Lhasa where Harrer befriended the Dalai Lama. He settled into this strange new way of life and he and the Dalai Lama became firm friends, but nothing prepared him for the devastation which descended when Communist China decided to attack. This true story depicts a life turned around and takes the audience on a journey they will never forget.

 

WALL-E

This animated film is probably not one that you expected to see in this list. However, when audiences met WALL-E in 2008 they were taken on an emotional journey which they didn’t expect. Even though he was only a small waste collecting robot, WALL-E’s journey to save his beloved EVE not only changed his life but ultimately decided the fate of mankind.

 

RAIN MAN

Charles Sanford Babbit is a self-centered Los Angeles-based automobile dealer at war with his own life. When he learns that his estranged father died and left his $3 million fortune to Raymond, his unknown autistic brother, he goes in search of him. When he finds Raymond, he kidnaps him and takes him on an eventful trip to the West Coast as a threat to get the $3 million inheritance. Their trip almost drives Charlie insane but by the time they arrive in L.A. their bond is unbreakable. This crazy journey that changed Charlie’s life forever earned Rainman 4 Oscars in 1988 and is viewed as one of Tom Cruise’s best performances.

 

THE BEACH

Danny Boyle’s cult-classic tells the story of twenty-something Richard as he travels to Thailand where he finds himself in possession of a strange map. It’s rumoured that the map leads to a solitary beach paradise. Excited and intrigued, he sets out to find it. When Richard finds this idyllic paradise he thinks his journey is at an end, but little does he know that it has only just begun. This journey of self-discovery teaches Richard lessons that he will never forget and changes his life forever.

 

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

Another surprise entry in the top-ten is Little Miss Sunshine. This quirky comedy starring Steve Carrell and Toni Collete follows a family determined to get their young daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) into the finals of a beauty pageant. As they travel across the country in their VW bus experience adventures and challenges which bring this warring family together. Dealing with everything from heart-break to drug-addicted pensioners this unique story  won two Oscars in 2007m including Best Original Screenplay, and remains a hit among film-fans worldwide.

 

THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES

This dramatization of the motorcycle road trip Che Guevara went on in his youth was directed by Walter Salles and depicts the journey that transformed the life of this iconic figure. This epic journey filled with ups and downs in equal measure has become a must-see for film-lovers across the globe and shows how one journey can not only change one man’s life, but create a political icon whose life changed a nation.

 

INTO THE WILD

Into the Wild was directed by Sean Penn and was released to critical acclaim in 2007. Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) is a grade-A student and athlete at Emory University with his entire life ahead of him. When he decides to abandon his possessions and gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity so that he can hitchhike to Alaska, it comes as a shock to everyone. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life and change the way he thinks. Into the Wild is a powerful film which takes viewers on an emotional and touching journey as they share Christopher’s life-changing experience.

 

LORD OF THE RINGS

Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy made movie history when they were released between 2001-2003. The films were critically acclaimed, winning 17 Oscars in total, as well as wide praise for the cast and innovative special effects. Set in Middle-earth, the three films follow the young Hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) as he and a mismatched group embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring, and thus ensure the destruction of the dark Lord Sauron. This epic journey changed the lives of every character involved and remains the highest grossing movie trilogy of all time.

 

CAST AWAY

Tom Hanks played Chuck Noland in this tale of a modern-day Robinson Crusoe. When Noland, a FedEx executive, crash lands on a deserted island he must transform himself physically and emotionally to survive. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Cast Away depicts the immense challenge ahead of Chuck as he engages in a battle of wits with himself and is tested mentally, physically and emotionally in order to survive.
