Big Game (2014)

Image
Big Game is a 2014 action adventure movie that stars Samuel Leroy Jackson (as William Alan Moore, President of the United States), and Onni Tommila (as Oskari), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Some lessons from the movie: • Your enemies are always WITHIN, not far away. In fact, I don't think one has enemies which are far off. The devil isn't even your enemy! To be able to take down Air Force One, which has the most efficient counter measures required an inside man, Secret Service Agent Morris (Ray Stevenson), who helped orchestrate the attack, and disabled whatever counter measures that would have repelled the attack. The ultimate purpose of the attack was to kill the President and inspire a fresh war on terrorism. Not only Agent Morris was involved, the Vice President (Victor Garber), who had eyes on the country's number one citizen's position, and Fred Herbert (Jim Broadbent), a former CIA operative, advisor and head of the Terrorist Intel Uni...

Rush Hour (1998)

Image
Rush Hour is an American buddy action comedy film that stars Jackie Chan (Detective Inspector Lee) and Chris Tucker (Detective James Carter) as mismatched cops who must rescue the Chinese consul's (Consul Solon Han) kidnapped daughter. Photo Credit: Wikipedia What did I learn from Rush Hour? • Sometimes, one's dream(s) becomes reality in the most unexpected and funny of ways. I admire people who take life happily, make fun out of the seriousness of life, and at the same time, still stay focused on their dreams with optimism, trying to make great use of opportunities that comes around them. Detective Carter of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the cop who doesn't go with a partner on cop duties (he had lost his Dad who was also a cop due to the failure of his dad's partner to back him up), unlike his other colleagues in the police department, seemed to be regarded as a joker, a carefree cop in the LAPD. If every cop in the LAPD were to be ranke...

London Has Fallen (2016)

Image
You watched Olympus H as F allen ? London Has Fallen is kind of a sequel to that movie. The movie stars: Gerard Butler (Agent Mike Banning), Aaron Eckhart (Benjamin Asher - US President), Morgan Freeman (Allan Trumbull - US Vice President), Angela Bassett (Lynne Jacobs - Secret Service Director), Alon Moni Aboutboul (Arms dealer/terrorist mastermind - Aamir Barkawi), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia I love this movie just as I love Olympus Has Fallen . Maybe it's because of Gerard Butler's bravery and role in both movies. I do enjoy movies that showcases fight against terrorism, you know, the CIA, FBI sort of movies. I couldn't help watching the complete nine seasons of 24, one time my best movie. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but sometimes when I'm tired, maybe bored, and I need to relax and at the same time, get some motivation, I watch these kind of movies. They just have a way of drawing out motivation within me, and after...

Getaway (2013)

Image
Getaway is an american action thriller movie that stars Ethan Hawke (Brent Magna), Selena Gomez (The Kid), and Jon Voight (The Voice). Photo Credit: Wikipedia It seems a bit weird picking this movie for this week. One could be asking what possible positives can one draw out from an action thriller movie? Anyway, we'll see what we can do about that today. It's crazy what love and family can make one do. Brent had to be loyal to 'The Voice' for that period his wife, Leanne, was in the hands of her kidnappers. He was a former race driver, a talented one, but also, one who must have also lost a bit of his touch as he quit race driving a while before then. But on the day his wife was kidnapped, his skills came back and he was at his best. This may be a weird lesson but has truth in it. Sometimes, one can do something, one can achieve something, but one needs some motivation, maybe something to trigger some "healthy anger" that will bring out that spi...

Aftermath (2017)

Image
This is the cool movie of this week. I got mixed feelings watching this movie just before I write this. The lessons one could learn here are deep. Aftermath stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (Roman Melnyk), Scoot McNairy (Jacob "Jake" Bonanos) among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Some lessons I learnt from this movie: • A job/industry/organization which is a direct and high risk threat to lives, should be executed and managed most effectively. Personnel and equipment should be adequate and functional, respectively. Efficient backup and counter measures should be available and properly managed and executed. It was a bad day for Jake, the air traffic controller. His partner shouldn't have left him alone to monitor the air traffic. Jake tried to divide his attention among a number of responsibilities. The bad telephone also contributed to the crisis. It was late to stop the two airlines from colliding in mid air, and those 271 lives couldn't have been lost...

Geek Charming (2011)

Image
Another cool movie to talk about. It's based on the novel by Robin Palmer. Geek Charming stars Sarah Hyland (Dylan Schoenfield), Matt Prokop (Josh Rosen), Sasha Pieterse (Amy Loubalu), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Some things I learnt from the movie: • Challenging Yourself to something different and new, can teach you more and help bring out some uniqueness in You. Josh's movie on a human subject (Dylan) was a big challenge to execute. Most of the other persons involved in the Puget sound film festival, picked a non human subject. As an aspiring film maker, one of a very young age, a documentary on a human subject was something so big and rare, and very challenging. Josh picked up the challenge, one which didn't just help him win the festival, but also helped him discover the real personality of Dylan; how her mum meant so much to her and how the loss of her mum when she was eight years old had affected her and shaped her social life. Josh wasn...

Step Up Revolution (2012)

Image
It is another interesting movie to talk about. It's a dance movie starring Ryan Guzman (Sean Asa), Misha Gabriel (Eddy, co-leader of the Mob with Sean), Kathryn McCormick (Emily Anderson), Peter Gallagher (William Bill Anderson), among others. I think you guys will love the movie. As usual, I'll share the lessons I learnt from the movie. • It's really cool seeing the team Sean and Eddy put together. They brought different talented dancers together so they could express their voices as a team and make a bigger difference collectively. It's also great having a team of people who share same goals and who are committed. They didn't just gave themselves a voice, they also gave a lot of persons a voice and at the end, their voices were heard. A lot of times, team work with a positive team spirit ensures more positive, less stressful impact and makes the journey entertaining and fulfilling. One could go faster alone, but with a team, no matter how small the team is, the...

3 Idiots (2009)

Image
I thought of the second movie to write about and I picked this one. It is one amazing movie I love to watch repeatedly. After the first time I watched it on my mobile, it was deleted. I had to search for it and get it back, and since then, its been there. 3 Idiots is an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan (Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Chhote / Phunsukh Wangdu), R. Madhavan (Farhan Qureshi), Sharman Joshi (Raju Rastogi), Kareena Kapoor (Pia Sahastrabuddhe), Boman Irani (Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe; the Engineering college Director), Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam) and Rahul Kumar (Millimeter), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Readers, if you haven't watched this movie, I'll recommend you do. Let's see what I learnt from the movie: • Life is actually a race, but not a race to compete with others; it's a race with oneself. Follow Excellence and Success will chase you! Rancho taught this lesson to his friends, Raju and Fahran. While Rancho came first at...

Rags (2012)

Image
So I picked this movie as the first I'll write about on this label. I've watched lot of movies, deleted some, but this is one of those I find it difficult to delete. I just have to delete some others to create space for some more movies I want to watch.. This is one of the movies I'll recommend if you are looking for one to give you some motivation. Rags is a musical film, starring a number of characters, two of which are most outstanding. Charlie Prince (Max Schneider) and Kadee Worth (Keke Palmer) both got musical talents, but of different financial backgrounds. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Charlie, who had lost his mum and was from the lower financial background, had great passion for his talent and always believed he will be someone great one day. He kept up his faith, even with his discouraging step dad and step brothers. Anyway, he got that little family (Diego and Martha) which kinda filled a gap and gave him some inspiration. He had his fears, sometimes doubte...
