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

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
