Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella is inspired by a voice he can’t ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife, Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true.

“If you build it, he will come.” That’s the ethereal message that inspires Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. At first, “he” seems to be the ghost of disgraced ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta), who materializes on the ballfield and plays a few games with the awestruck Ray. But as the weeks go by, Ray receives several other messages from a disembodied voice, one of which is “Ease his pain.” He realizes that his ballfield has been divinely ordained to give a second chance to people who have sacrificed certain valuable aspects of their lives. One of these folks is Salingeresque writer Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), whom Ray kidnaps and takes to a ball game and then to his farm. Another is Doc Graham (Burt Lancaster), a beloved general practitioner who gave up a burgeoning baseball career in favor of medicine. The final “second-chancer” turns out to be much closer to Ray. That “magical” field in Dyersville, Iowa still draws thousands of baseball-happy tourists each year.

A superb story, removed from time, space and law of physics, telling an emotional story about life, choices, second chances, all tied through baseball. Six popcorns and hits a home run into the Movie Vault.

IMDb

A father and his teen daughter attend a pop concert only to realize they’ve entered the center of a dark and sinister event.

Classic M. Night Shyamalan movie where you’re watching at stuff and you think you know what happens, and no matter what you think, you’re wrong. Also Shyamalan’s daughter can’t act for shit even the simple role of brown Taylor Swift. One very generous popcorn because I actually liked the idea of having a killer trapped in public and him trying to escape, but the ending is actually worse than of a classical MNS movie.

I mean I could have been happy if the wife was the killer, the black fatman t-shirt guy was the killer. Hey, I would have accepted even his daughter to turn into a werewolf and be the killer, but not all the “he was so severely crazy, only his mother could have seen it” bullshit.

At best, it felt like a long setup for a Butcher sequel coming up, which no one will see if it’s this shit. To quote a dude from screen rant: the biggest surprise ended up being the movie’s predictable conclusion.

A priest in a poor community lives a charitable life in accordance with his religious principles, but many others do not return the favor.

Excellent movie by Luis Buñuel, about faith as the only manner to live, about struggling to live following the word and spirit of God. An excellent insight on the life of normal people in normal situations, a reflection on what it means to live honestly, a great parallel with a much better known book. Five popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, and Agnes welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his girlfriend Valentina, and the family is forced to go on the run.

Cute animation following the other three. It’s fun and funny, but don’t expect a masterpiece. The minions are either annoying or brilliant and in the end it’s a decent watch for the kids and parents alike. Four popcorns.
