MEN OF HONOR
Written by Captain Mary on Thursday, October 02, 2008
It's about a man who wanted to become a deep sea diver in the face of adversity. He came from a share cropper background, joined the military during a time that prejudice was high. Opportunity for black men was very limited, but he never gave up trying to reach his goals. This story is a great one for anyone who thinks about giving up, this man didn't give up no matter what the odds. He over came obstacles and hurdles that only determination could conquer.
As a diver and captain I appreciate the call of the sea. For every time I take my boat out and I reach the last channel marker leading toward the sea; it's like a veil is lifted from my soul. I look out toward the deep blue water and all my worries and sadness disappear. I find myself smiling uncontrollably and I don't understand it, all I know is that this is the place I am most happy. My next vision could be of dolphins jumping and playing, stingrays flipping into the air, or even whales exhaling. The sense of something incredible and maybe even dangerous, exhilarating my existence.
BROKEN BRIDGES
Written by Captain Mary on Monday, June 30, 2008
I watched Broken Bridges last night and I am not really a fan of country music, but it certainly got my attention and perhaps changed my opinion. The story was about five men who lost their lives in a military exercise and it took place in the small town they lived in. The main characters are well defined, and all have some demon that is haunting them from the past. Its a heart warming story, like the good old days. About community, death, love and living. I don't know how many times I cried during the movie, but if you are looking for a story that touches your heart and soul I highly recommend this movie. I don't want to give the ending away, so check it out and give me your opinion, bet I'm right.
THE BUCKET LIST
Written by Captain Mary on Tuesday, June 17, 2008Now this is a must see movie The Bucket List. I watched this movie the other night and it was certainly an eye opener. How many people go through life without enjoying the things they wish for. The acting was superb and the story was something everyone can relate to. I am going to make my own bucket list, of course I have pretty much experienced most of my list already. I have done so much in my life time I am not sure what is left to add. I have gotten to the point in the movie, where I realize what is really important in life. I hope that everyone gets a chance to see this movie, without giving away the ending it is a life changing movie. If I was going to rate this movie it would get 4 stars, that's because no body gets 5.
