I really loved this film! It makes you realize how we take so many things for granted. And for so many, reality can be so harsh.
This film should be seen broadly. It really pulls at ones heart. I thought Eugenio Derbez was fantastic in this role, and the young actors were fabulous.

Starring: Eugenio Derbez, Daniel Haddad, Jenifer Trejo, Mía Fernanda Solís, Danilo Guardiola and directed by Christopher Zalla.
Based on a true story. This film is in theaters, November 3.
This film teaches you to never give up on your dreams. I think it is a must watch.
Jose M. Hernandez was born in French Camp, California. As a youngster he worked in the fields here in the U.S.A. and Mexico. While working at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he co-developed the first digital mammography imaging system. This invention aids in the early detection of breast cancer. He then persevered to become a crew member on Space Shuttle mission STS-128.
Synopsis: Inspired by the real-life story of NASA flight engineer José Hernández, (Michael Peña) A Million Miles Away follows him and his devoted family of proud migrant farm worker on a decades-long journey, from a rural village in Michoacán, Mexico, to the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, to more than 200 miles above the Earth in the International Space Station. With the unwavering support of his hard-working parents, relatives, and teachers, José’s unrelenting drive and determination culminates in the opportunity to achieve his seemingly impossible goal.
Acclaimed writer and director Alejandra Márquez Abella has created a dazzling tribute to the loyalty and tenacity of the entire Hernández family, as well as anyone who dares to dream.
Starring Rosa Salazar, Veronica Falcón, Julio Cesar Cedillo, Michelle Krusiec, Garret Dillahunt, and Eric Johnson.
Experiencing Gran Turismo with my number one grandson, Jimmy. Who was familiar with the game. There was a driving simulator he got to try, which he enjoyed very much. And very jazz, to be watching the film.
He gave the film, a 10 out of 10. But the highlight of the evening was, meeting the man himself, Jann Mardenborough. Check out some of our photos from the evening below.
Synopsis: Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race-car driver. From gamer to professional racer.
Directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, Archie Madekwe, Darren Barnet, Geri Halliwell Horner and Djimon Hounsou.
Based on the PLAYSTATION STUDIOS video game. The film is in theaters now.

We really enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, it was nostalgic and a little melancholic for me. Since I feel it’s Mr. Ford’s last time as Indiana Jones.
On the bright side, I could see the character of Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), taken the mantel in any future film based on the adventure theme. It was nice to see familiar faces like, Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies.
In the past week I’ve watched all the previous films. It was my build up to this fifth and final installment of the adventurous franchise.
Synopsis: Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Accompanied by his goddaughter, he soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who works for NASA.
