People are really looking forward to this film. Robin Williams has always been an excellent dramatic actor and this film makes his last role one of the best. The routine of everyday life quietly peels away to reveal the struggle of a loving husband in conflict with his inner-self in Boulevard. While Nolan Mack (Robin Williams) and his wife Joy (Kathy Baker) wake up under the same roof each morning, separate bedrooms underscore the disparate worlds they are living in. His emotional journey begins to unfold with a drive down a desolate city street where he encounters a troubled young man named Leo (Roberto Aguire). As lost time slowly awakens Nolan’s secret life, he realizes that truth is an opportunity for change.
Directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe, this film makes Robin’s role one of his best and serious roles with a bitter sadness and has the ability to feel and portray emotion with such genius, both through laughter and pathos, was his curse as well as our gift as audience adorers.

Spy is the new film of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster. This film was written and directed by Paul Feig.
During 1hr 19 min. Melissa McCarthy’s performance is one of the best. On the contrary, Statham is rarely stands out into his comedic potential. However, the good direction, jokes and the well developed physical comedy makes this is more on par with The Heat.
Most people begin to like the idea that this comedy is very well made from an over weighted -lady jokes combined with two elements that makes successfully a film because this one has comedy and action.
Definitely, Spy is highly recommended for its memorable supporting characters and funny contrast of personalities of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) as the moody and hyper-masculine action tough guy.

During 2 hr. 3 min. a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) must navigate the destruction from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save his daughter and the obstacles of all character have to face are going to make you to think about the real infamous San Andreas Fault would affect our lives. Definitely, this film has to be seen in 4D experience after all the complex sequences, this takes you so deep into the story that feels like some scenes are part of the on-screen actions especially in the fatal destruction of buildings and drama that suffer all characters. This film gives guidance on how to prepare for natural disasters indirectly, even the action scenes are spaced out well and each is extremely immersing despite being able to predict the outcome is almost inevitable, the earthquake itself hast the biggest scarier effects.
