Love the movie
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This is a great movie and a true story. We never know how much we are blessed until we see what others go through in life. There is always someone who is going through worse than we are. A good family movie. Great acting and some comedy. Everyone needs to see this movie.

Time to awaken
|Posted .an encephalitis epidemic leaves the victims in a catatonic state in a facility. Robert DeNiro is a patient and Robin Williams is a new physician. Williams finds a drug which will allow them to be revived ... some for a long time and some very temporary. The struggle Williams has to overcome the politics behind doing something different is powerful...he learns to overcome some of his own withdrawn dynamics.

A classic must have for your Blu-ray collection.
|Posted .This is a sad movie but you'll learn to appreciate it Robin Williams is both exciting and sad to watch Robert De Niro puts out what I think is one of his best performance other than the Godfather two. It's based on a true story and It will makes you appreciate life by the end of it definitely recommend it it gets five stars for me and I'm not over selling it enjoy.

Guaranteed tears!!
|Posted .This movie is not terribly well known, but it’s definitely worth watching. Robin Williams plays a fairly serious role for him, yet quality nevertheless!! It’s a movie that will move you to tears because it’s all about being human, and how frustrating it would be to be trapped inside yourself. Need to cry? Highly recommend it!
