Movie Review: Million Dollar Arm


Hello Everyone!
I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far. I am super excited to be doing a review on this movie. As you all know, I love movies. But my love of sports movies is a different story. So today, I will be reviewing the movie, Million Dollar Arm. 

Summary: 
This movie is about a man named Jamie Bernstein or JB. He is a sports agent. But 3 years before the movie started, he decided to create his own agency. Now him and his two co workers have not signed any new players since they went on their own and started their own company. In the beginning of the movie, he was trying to get a football player Popo to sign with him. But while waiting for Popo, he realized something. What if he turned a cricket player from India, into a MLB pitcher. So that's what he tried to do. He went to India, and created this contest called the Million Dollar Arm. He traveled throughout all of India looking for a pitcher. They had to pitch over 80. He found two pitchers. He takes them from India to the United States. In 6 months, a college baseball coach teaches these two players who have never picked up a baseball before, to becoming future MLB pitchers. Then JB sets up a tryout for them. With all the major league teams scouting them. And that is all I can say or else I will ruin the ending. 

My Opinion: 
Oh My! Oh My! This movie was so good. This is something not many people know about me but I love Bollywood. I love Bollywood music and movies. So throughout the whole film they had Bollywood music and I was in my glory. But that's not the point. The point is that this story is incredible. What is even crazier is that it is based off a true story. That is what blew me by surprise. These two teenagers came from nothing and left everything to live their dream and try to make a life for themselves. And they did. I thought the casting was incredible. I love Jon Hamm anyways because of Mad Men and the actor from Life of Pi, Suraj Sharma, he is incredible. I have a little crush on him. And I really enjoyed the other actor, Madhur Mittal. The brotherhood that they both had was really sweet and caring. This movie was not only touching but it was extremely funny. I thought that it was a quirky kind of funny. So I really recommend this movie. Especially, if you are like me and love inspirational sports movies, you will really enjoy this movie. 

Ps: This is the real Rinku and Dinesh


Watch the movie. You will not regret it! And check out the album. It was a really fun, plus it gives you a taste of Bollywood music. 

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post. Have a wonderful day/evening.

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the  Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the  Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the  L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...
