The perfect son

From a distance, Felix Fitzwilliam, son of an old English family, is a good husband and father. But, obsessed with with order and routine, he's a prisoner of perfection. Disengaged from the emotional life of his North Carolina family, Felix has let his wife, Ella, deal with their special-needs son by herself.

 A talented jewelry designer turned full-time mother, Ella is the family rock... until her heart attack shatters their carefully structured existence. Now Harry, a gifted teen grappling with the caos of Tourette's, confronts a world outside parents' control, one that tests his desire for independence.

 As Harry searches for his future, and Ella adapts to the limits of her failing health, Felix struggles with his past and present roles. to prevent the family from being ripped apart, they must each bend with the inevitability of change and reinforce the ties that bind.

This is a great book, that make me want to search more about Tourettes and some behavior disabilities. Having a son with ADHD make me understand this mom. It's not easy for use but it's much harder for the kid... Great story, highly recommended.

Camp Harlow is a faith-based drama about a teenage bully who finds redemption through her faith in God at local summer camp.

This is that kind of movie, that if I'm looking at professionalism I really can say is so bad... the actors look so fake on it... but the history is amazing... actually I saw myself on this girl, and unfortunate I didn't have the good people around me, to push me up... Really recommend.

Bouncing from foster home to home, it seemed that n one wanted Mason around. From battles with his parents, Mason learns the importance of respect. Desperate for forgiveness, Mason tries to make amends with his family. 

This is what I call a movie with hope... people is not always bad of rude because they want, but because life never show them the meaning of love or respect. I so see myself in Mason... if life treat us bad, why be nice... but like Mason, I also found God's love...

When aliens misinterpret video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth in form of the video games.

It's a good back on time movie, but to be honest it's boring... to much talking and not so much real action... it was ok, but for sure i don't wanna see it again...

I don't even know where to start... this is that kind of movie that make you revolted, with a broken heart, and at the same time completely in love with the peoples attitude... my kids watch it with me and my older actually was crying in the end because he don't understand why people need to do war... definitely recommended...

Year: 2010

First at all, I really don't appreciate foreign movies... but this a true story and the stars are the people that had the real story... so there is no actresses or actors... 

I liked the story and again, how can a human be able to do this kind of thing the a 2 years old... But God is Good and gave her a chance to find amazing people and also help others.

This is movie that really touch our hearts... sometimes God take away the people that we love and we feel like life have no more sense... we feel lost. But God never leave us alone and is always something or someone that can show us that live still make sense... 

The Drop Box

A really touching movie... can make you cry and can make you laugh... It's heart breaking how can people just 'trash' their babies just because they are different. But thanks God there are people in this world like this pastor that take care of this little angels.

This story focuses primarily on Julie Thompson, a young conservative Christian Woman, who is truly tested by God, and gives birth to a child conceived in rape. This decision leads her to a journey  that forces her to explore and redefine her relationships with God, her family, friends and even her rapist Mike Connor, as she struggles to forgive the man who violated her by boldly visiting him in prison and forging an unlikely bond. 

First I really like the movie... wow how can she forgive him could change him... that's something that not everyone can do (even Christians). The filming was really weak and amateur... If it was done by a real professional would the a great movie....
