About the blog:

Well, hello!
Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app.
Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY RATING: 8 of 10

MY REVIEW:
I give the movie an 8. The MOVIE. Bradley Cooper does an amazing job of playing deceased Navy Seal Chris Kyle. This may be the single greatest role that I have ever seen him take on. The "war" scenes feel true and real and really show the "dirty" side of war to the masses who have never seen the military life. This movie was well written, well acted, and emotional. I can remember a few times sitting in the theater that I realized I was gripping the arms of my seat so hard that my fingertips were falling asleep.

I am not addressing any controversy surrounding Chris Kyle in this post. The man served his country and is due his reverence for doing so.
