Breakfast with Scot

Scot with one “T” is an adorable young boy who recently lost his mother. He likes costume jewelry, the color pink and singing songs from classical musicals.
He ends up moving in with this charming gay couple and they learn to become a family.
I found the movie funny, refreshing and really quite entertaining.
It is unfortunate that [...]

Speak

Speak is a film which delicately reflects how a young high school woman (Melinda Sordino) deals with a very traumatic event that took place at the end of the previous school year.

They ended up loving this film so much that we had to watch it twice. It was very entertaining, especially in the [...]

Kirschblüten – Hanami (Cherry Blossoms)

I really didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie.
It moved a little slowly at first, and then it took off in a totally different direction that I hadn’t expected, and in the end I was left in shear awe.
This was simply a beautiful and heartfelt presentation of one mans [...]
