arii-zamudio Spoiler don't read after this point if you don't want to know. The main theme in the movie is about spirituality and it gives you a look in to what the writer thinks happens when we pass away. In this movie someone is about to die but as his soul leaves his body and visits every loved person to say it's good byes, he figures out that if he leaves at this moment the two persons he cares the most for, will hate each other and there for resent each other and end their friendship forever; instead of supporting each other after he is gone. So he decides to go back to his body and fight for his life. As he gets better and starts his difficult new life; he hates it ,as he forgot the reason why he went back. But thanks to the help of a friend that believes in spirituality, he is able to remember why he came back. Once he feels like the two people that he came back for, care and support each other... Then he is ready to die.
ashgameover This movie was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. The cast is excellent in this film. This film is very emotional. While I didn't necessarily like the way things may have turned out in the film in terms of the ending, it definitely left food for thought. There was an excellent use of foreshadowing in the writing, and all in all it really exposed a decent part of the human condition. My favorite actor, Costas Mandylor did an amazing job of playing a paralyzed cop and I believe this film showcased his versatile acting skills. I also liked his character as a whole because ultimately the character had a great sense of integrity and throughout the film the character also had genuine humanity. The rest of the actors as a whole also did an excellent job so I give props to the actors, the director, and the casting director on that one. Once again this film is very emotional, and I would even say it sent me on an emotional roller coaster. There were times of happiness in the film, as well as wonderment, drama, sadness, anger, and laughter. A really decent film for a TV movie, and one I would enjoy watching again.
coachem This is one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen, mainly because of the ending. Even though there were a lot of weak spots in the movie, I still had some hopes that it could be saved with a good ending. Even though the best friend's comments early in the movie made it clear what his feelings were, the plot allowed him to realize them through his own misdeeds. The husband's choice at the end made absolutely no sense. There were so many options that were available to him, and his choice was the least palatable. The final shot of the movie was the last straw, and had me shouting obscenities that I had wasted my time watching this movie. I watched it this morning on a cable network and I feel very disappointed that I allowed this movie to ruin my whole day.
F1ame Incase you don't know what is about, then it is about a married couple and their best friend. It is not a love triangle as such, but a drama of emotions, played out to the setting of injuries, police officers and ice hockey.The film is good in part and poor at times. The anger I feel when people behave irrationally, but you have to convince yourself that people may react in that way. Still I will not point out exactly which bits I am referring to, you can enjoy that for yourself.At the half hour point I was beginning to get quite annoyed with this film, but it did improve near to the end. I did find that some emotional content that was enjoyable to watch play out. Many people will find this movie dull and uninteresting. This is by no means brilliant or ground breaking, but it does have value if you ask me. 5/10... ooh I'm harsh.
