Movie Review: Too long but good flick.
Summary: 4 Stars

The Guardian starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher focuses on the important work of U.S. Coast Guards and all the hard training these young men/women have to endure. The two stars give powerful performances, I was very impressed by Kutcher's acting chops and he has a nice body too. Sela Ward feels a little bit out of place who plays Costner's long suffering wife. My only gripe is that this film is 45 minutes too long, The Guardian is a good and well-directed film, watch it sometime.

Movie Review: You Won't Be Bored!
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is jam-packed with action about true life adventures. It will leave you with overwhelming respect for the men in the U.S. Coast Guard.

Along with all the heart-stopping action, you see the softer side and an underlying determination that is rare in today's society. These men are a rare breed and it shows the tenacity and true heart with which they perform their life-saving feats.

I am honored to be a citizen of this great country and proud of all of our military for the sacrifices they make daily. THANK YOU on behalf of our entire family!

Movie Review: Guardian is a re-make of a Japanese Movie/Comic Book/TV series, named Umizaru
Summary: 4 Stars

I watched the movie recently on a plane and found the movie is a re-make or a Hollywood version of the 2004 Japanese movie Umizaru, which is based on a Japanese Comic Book and a TV series of the same title, which is about the Japanese Coastal Guard. The storylines touch on the training, the ordeal, the iron fist trainer, etc, I would say over 85% resemblance. I do not have the chance to scan through the credit at the end of the movie to see if there is an acknowledgement of the original screen writer.

The Japanese version is recommended and you can order it via Amazon. Here is the link.
