Dreamer

Dreamer (2005)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Based on a true story, this tells the tale of a family struggling to keep their farm while working the racing ring. On the other side is Sonador, filly thoroughbred race horse with a bad break - in her right foreleg. Not only could this ruin her on the flat, but she's also infertile as well. With no use as a brood mare, either she recovers or she dies, already having hurt the finances of the unlikely struggling family that saved her in the first place. Who would have expected the daughter to be the one to go to bat for Sonador the second time, pushing until this horse has a chance to really come from behind. If you love horses like I do, you'll like this movie. Not as intense or focused on racing as Secretariat or Seabiscuit, this is still a lovely tale.

The Second Chance


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


A pastor's son learns what life is really all about while his father remembers the importance of the foundation he created for the church and one of his followers who became a pastor himself fights to save everything they've worked for. The board and the city don't care, but these three find second chances can mean everything.

The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


THE most influential book you will ever read. As stated by the title it is ANOTHER testament of Jesus Christ. This book goes hand in hand with the Bible in proclaiming the truth Christ himself taught on the earth. So many stories and messages relevant to life now despite how long ago either book was written. Truly meant for these latter days.
