Lovely and Great Beaches

Here are nine lovely and great beaches destinations arranged alphabetically.

Grand Bahama, Bahamas. Grand Bahama Island is called the Hong Kong of the Americas. A blend of the old and new. The island is the second most popular tourist destination in the Bahamas. Here you will find long stretches of deserted clean-white beaches, inviting hotels, one major casino, night-time entertainment and world-class scuba diving facilities and land and sea sports.


Seven Mile Beach, Cayman Islands, Caribbean. Seven Mile Beach is one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. The beach is also lined with pine and palm trees in some spots, so there is shade from the hot sun. Thanks to the relatively calm water conditions, swimming and snorkeling top the list of things to do at Seven Mile Beach, and there is no shortage of shops and restaurants to visit when a break from the water is in order. Snorkeling is just one of the many options for things to do at Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, and diving enthusiasts will also be in their element.

The Blind Side [2009]


The Blind Side is a Biography | Drama | Family | Sport movie that was released in November 2009. A story of an orphaned guy with no one understood him, sought refuge in school. Being meek and inferior to others made him lonely and with huge physique scares bullies as well as friends away. However, this hinder him not to be recognized by a schoolmate of him that happened to have a mother that gave him a chance to change. Being adopted in a family who loved American Football well, he began motivated to be a sport star.

Sandra played a really nice role here that fits her characteristics. The little brother did well of a supporting actor. Big Mike did good too, but needs more convincing.

Anyway, what this movie failed is that most of the scenes were of the positive side of the story and less with the other side. Like, how he was adopting to the school and otherwise. How the family accepted him was not well elaborated. Maybe to shorten the film to the ideal viewing time. But i admired the flawlessness of the kindhearted the family had, where only a few could do that, even rare in the level from their social status.

Sometimes, it's nice to have a Big Brother - not the TV reality show. Came to think of it when both of you play American Football, he's the line backer then you'll be the running back, here comes the block, here comes the run, and a touchdown!!! LOL..

The movie has been nominated and won several awards like Academy Awards, Black Reel Awards, Golden Globes, MTV Movie Awards, and many more. This is a great movie and is highly recommended for this movie genre. I'll have an 8/10 rating for the film.

Tooth Fairy [2010]


Tooth Fairy is a Comedy | Family | Fantasy movie that was released in January 2010. A tooth fairy is not a bad idea, especially when, as a kid, you were brainwashed of some fantasy that would somehow excite and scare you at the same time. But having a former WWE undisputed champion being the winged kiddie creature is one super-fantasy, funny, and egoistic movie.

What this film failed is that, it cannot arouse emotions when some turning point scenes are not performed publicly or with hundreds of spectators. The scene of finally flying would some how be dull if it was not done in the ice hockey arena in the middle of an intense game. It was somewhat too showy that fairies do fly. Also, fairies this time were athletic, from the main cast whom became the personal trainer of his feebly assistant fairy who became agile after a few days of cute training. But, well, fairies can do everything though magic - spell would rather be attractive.

As always, when The Rock does his movies, the sporty appearance and muscled charm of this Pro Wrestler turned actor do the trick of having a storyline of arrogance overwhelming a famous sport icon leading to loss of friends, career, and family be worth watching. Honestly, I wanted to ask Dwayne if he actually believed in the tooth fairy when he was young - how about 'till today?

This is a kiddie movie good for pastimes over some 2 liters of soda and 24" mozzarella pizza - with the kids of course. I'll have a 4/10 rating for this film.

Hachiko: A Dog's Story [2009]


Hachiko: A Dog's Story is a Drama | Family movie that was released in August 2009. An English film based from a true story of an Akita born dog in Japan of the unconditional love the dog had to the person. I guess, this account would be a rare case of a story of this like, since, having a statue as tribute to the dog is very extraordinary, especially for animals. It just showed how immense the bond between the person and the dog to those around them, and to those who found this storyline favorable.

What this film had failed is that the bond between the dog and the owner was so intense but their interaction with each other was minimal and nothing was uncommon. Maybe because the owner spend more time working and he had his family, or maybe it was just that the dog was born different. The film showed that the owner's happiness was remarkable when he was with Hachi, actually, he was often together with Hachi than with his wife, maybe because she's old or it's because she's allergic with the fur. The storyline was pretty simple, but Hachi's fondness ranked atop other dogs.

A storyline based from true events would gave a different affection on viewers even though the production would be low. Especially, when you can actually relate to the story. As for this film, I think you'll going to give your dog a good hug after the show. Well - although shameful - I got teary-eyed from this movie because I remembered our late dog. When I was a kid, he was about twice my size, most black in color and hairy, a crossbreed from a German Shepherd line. A very scary appearance for a dog, but he was very kind me, we even played almost everyday that's why I cried when that beloved pet of ours passed away.

This is a great film for animal friendship and welfare and is advisable to be watched with friends or family. Recommended to those affectionate with animals and pets, especially dogs. I'll have an 8/10 rating for the movie.

Astro Boy [2009]



Astro Boy is an Animation | Family | Sci-Fi movie and was released in October 2009. Inspired from the Japanese series and game, this film was packed with loneliness, the feeling to belong, love, care, and relationship. I think that kind of storyline would be common for a, shall I say, "non-human with human aspects" boy with a complex internal systems.

What this movie had failed is that if that genius scientist father wanted a replacement of his son, then why did he create a kid filled with an arsenal of not-human features. I think he's not even trying to bring back his son to life but instead make a super bodyguard. But maybe desperation and sadness for the loss of his son brought the superhuman invention to life and say "If my son was like this, I could have been with him longer."

Also, a minute work of art has been defeating a gigantic creation of mass-of-destruction is quite a kiddie stuff, I guess that's what animations originally are for, but i think it's kinda lame 'coz you know who's gonna be overpowered with the super features. Well, the good part about animated films that I liked so much is that impossible is nowhere to be found in any vocabulary.

This movie was nominated a couple of times in Annie's Awards. This is a pretty nice animated movie for a lonely spontaneous kid and a loving over-protected father. I'll have a 6/10 rating on this.

The Boys Are Back [2009]

The Boys Are Back is a Drama | Family movie and was released in November 2009. It's a story of a father having a hard time raising his child after the death of his wife. The movie presented lucidly some points about single parenthood as a father, however, it focused more on the bond between the father and the younger son and a minimal exposure with the older son since there were two sons involved in the parenthood. The movie had been nominated a couple of times. This is a not so good movie. I'll have a 5/10 rating for this movie.
