Rating movies is similar to cooking for a person EVERYONE has different tastes, likes and preferences. I DO NOT watch horror films or anything remotely creepy. I do not like to see people being hurt or killed, I do not like feeling scared or better yet horrified! On the other hand I enjoy laughing, feeling happy, surprised, thrilled, suspenseful and even crying ~ did you know that crying is like an internal shower for your soul?

In the Land of Blood and Honey

This movie takes place in the 1990’s during the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart, it tell the story of a soldier named Danijel fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian who is held captive in the camp he oversees. They knew each other before the war, and could have found love with each other. But as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, their allegiances uncertain.
This movie is very, very graphic! There was one point where I thought I was going to have to look away from the screen - thankfully I didn't have to! I know the movie can seem to be too much at times, but a huge part of Angelina Jolie's life is as a Good Will Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this is something she sees and knows about and is trying to show the world that this is what happens and that it happens to women and children as sad as it is.
Angelina Jolie's gut-wrenching look into the Bosnian War that must be seen.

CRAZY HEART

Staring:
Jeff Bridges (Won an Oscar for this role)
Maggie Gyllenhall (Oscar nominee)
Colin Farrell
Robert Duvall (Producer and Co-Star)
Directed by: Scott Cooper
I highly recommend this movie. I loved it! Amazing directing, acting, soundtrack.
Incredible performances by all, maybe the best of all movies they have acted in.
The movie portrays washed up, alcoholic, country music legend Bad Blake. Blake gets interviewed by single mom Jean Craddock and they instantly fall for each other and begin dating. Not only does Blake fall for Jean but also for her young son. Blake must get over living with the success of Tommy, the young musician he once mentored and his alcohol problem to save his relationship with Jean and her son.
You will have to watch to see if Blake can turn his life around.
Even deeper interest for anyone who knows and/or loves a person fighting alcoholism.
Tear Jerker Alert!!
