Movies!

My favorite movie of 2013-2014 was the incredibly intense war film of Lone Survivor. The reason why I chose Lone Survivor was because the movie kept my interest from the second it began until the end credits and was one of the most moving movies I have seen in some time. If your not familiar with this film, I highly recommend seeing it. It was a beautiful tribute to the Navy Seals men killed during Operation Red Wing in Afghanistan and shows the true face of what our soldiers go through on these dangerous missions. The format I saw this film was a dvd red box rental during the summer.

It is so hard to choose my favorite movie of all time since I have quite a few but of that short list I have to go with Blood in Blood Out Bound by Honor. I first watched this film in the late 1990s and felt a cultural connection with the different ethnic mixes represented. The film follows the lives of three young cousins from East Los Angeles and how they struggle with street gangs and later leading into their adult lives. Their strong message is that loyalty runs deep in the blood running through their veins. Although the film is almost three hours long, I can still watch it over and over again!
