Movies are a great way to have a nice time and make memories. You can make memories on your own while watching or making memories with others with whom you watch movies with. I guess I have always been a fan of movies more than I always agreed to. I watch more movies now but before I had access to my own gadgets and means of accessing movies, I always thought I was not a big fan of movies. Maybe my choice in my favorite movie will say how much I have liked movies.

To pick one movie I can call my favorite is not an easy choice. There are quite a number of movies and series I can put on repeat for the whole day. I am one that I can have new movies on my personal computer or mobile phone but I would leave the new movies and watch the ones I have finished already which are nice for me. I like movies with great story line and ones that are fun and have great acting. The movies I can watch over and over again include, the vampire diaries, let it shine, Avatar; the last air bender, the big bang theory and game of thrones. Maybe there are others but these are the ones on top of my head.

If I am put on the spot with a gun to my head, I think I would go for let it shine. I have literally watched this movie for a full day before. That happened last year around November or December. I just laid bored on my bed with no interests that day looking for something to watch. I binged that movie the entire day. For those who have not watched, it is a movie that involves a lot of singing.

It is a story about 2 friends; Chris and Cyrus who have known each other since they were little and are practically brothers. Chris is a very good dancer and Cyrus is a very good singer / rapper. When their kindergarten school mate Roxie announces a contest where the winner of the singing contest will have a chance to record a song with her, both friends decide to enter.

Cyrus writes and records an exceptional piece but he makes a mistake when submitting a picture of him. The mistake is followed and Roxie announces Chris as the winner instead of Cyrus. Both boys know who the actual winner is but Chris pleads with Cyrus to help keep it a secret so he could make the moves on Roxie. The story begins from here as they try to hide the truth and try to turn playboy non singer Chris into a good singer. She doesn’t actually use a name because Cyrus names himself as “Truth” and says he’s from the streets.

Without giving much away so that those who haven’t watched still can, Roxie and Cyrus become very close and she starts having second thoughts.

Remember Cyrus is a preacher’s boy but because his dad is very against rap, he hides his rap and his work in the bar from him till of course daddy finds out. Dad is pissed and grounds him. However, his mom is able to make him have an open mind. Cyrus decides to end the ruse and Chris sides with him.

On one of their biggest nights, the truth comes out in a very beautiful musical display. Roxie is left heartbroken after being deceived and decides to stay away from both boys. Before she leaves, something happens. Watch to find out what happens hehe. I think I have given out so much already.

So, yeah if you are a movie person and also into songs, this is a great movie for you. I do not think I have come across who have watched this and did not like it. Let it shine is one of my favorites. I would like to know yours and what you think about mine.

I love this movie (shouts double time) 😂 it has been one of my favourite for years now.

Roxie, Cyrus and Chris giving me just what I want to see... The truth coming out anyways.

I love the songs in the movie too, I could sing all of them aside the raps 🤣 I think I'll record one for my next cover.

Nice review of the movie, Goodluck Comrade

😂 triple shouts. Haha they really did deliver on all accounts. I love them all too.The songs are golden comrade, right from the first one till the last.

A song cover? Yesssssssss😂

avatar

Haha I knew he'd like it, wait for it 😂

avatar

😅 I’m waiting. You already owe me a song

We're quite similar when it involves rewatching an old movie when we have tons in our gadget.

Let it shine was my best best at the time. I loved the church moments with his dad.
I cannot even forget the rap battles...damn! Very intense.

Nice choice. Interesting movie.
Well-done!

Hehe glad to see it’s not just me with the old movies.

I love the church scenes and the songs too. The end when his dad finally agrees with him, is the best

avatar

So, there's no action therein?🙈🤔🤔

avatar

😂 oh no action

avatar

Movies like this don't attract me, unless I'm really in to watch movies 😄

avatar

but I would leave the new movies and watch the ones I have finished already which are nice for me

Hehe, sometimes it's just better to watch that which you are sure will give you euphoria other than taking a risk on the one you're not sure of.... I can relate to this even though I don't do it because I read about movies before watching them😂

the vampire diaries, let it shine, Avatar; the last air bender, the big bang theory and game of thrones

See this guy 😂😂😂
That's my list man... Wait... Did you finish the big bang theory? I got tired at a point
It's just too big😢

Hehe, I haven't seen this movie, maybe it's because it has romance in it a bit but I'll add it to my list seeing that you have wonderful movie collections, hehehe

I don’t know why you like this movie so much.😂 Maybe you should be a movie director because I think you’ll be good at it.😅

avatar

😂 I like it cos it’s good. I’ll finally get it to you so you watch.

Movie director? 😁
That’s not a bad thought at all. I’ll give you one fine movie 😂

avatar

Movie director? You’ll act your movie alone.😂

My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services.

I've just updated v4v.app and I'm getting ready for some exciting new features after the next hard fork.

Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #265 or consider unvoting the return vote.

For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I'll also add that I power up Hive every day and usually power up larger amounts on 1st of the Month. I'm on Hive for ideological reasons much more than for only economic benefit.

Additionally you can also help with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner

If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.
