Movie Review: Call of the Wild

I had the utmost pleasure of seeing Call of the Wild with my mother and daughter yesterday afternoon.  Call of the Wild by Jack London was my mother's  favorite childhood book, and she was most excited to go to the theater and see it come to life on the big screen. 
Call of the Wild, starring Harrison Ford, is about a St. Bernard mix dog who is stolen from his rich owner and taken away from his cushy life inside of a Victorian mansion.  The dog travels all the way to Alaska where most of the story takes place.  
Buck embarks upon one adventure after another. At times, the dog is abused, spoiled, and eventually loved.  He leads a sled dog team, saves lives, makes friends, becomes a leader, and gives an old man hope.  The dog puts the saint in St. Bernard.  Spoiler Alert-Buck doesn't die, but his owner does.  The dog finds a home and family of his own with the wolves in the wild.

My Review: The dog and other animals in the movie are animated, but you can't tell. They look realistic.  The computer developers outdid themselves in terms of details, facial expressions, fur, and movements.  The Alaskan scenery was breathtaking.  The story followed the classical book and brought tears to my eyes in several parts, especially the end when Harrison Ford dies.  I became entrenched with the story and fell in loved with the dog.

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh 19 KG lighter than us.

(And actually, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING around "HOW" they are eating.)

P.S, What I said is "HOW", not "what"...

Look at the way my colleague Wesley Virgin's tale begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.

THESE are the EXACT same secrets tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and successful.

You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.

Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe that thought has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 in his bank account.

"I'm very frustrated with going through life check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

You've taken part in those types of questions, ain't it right?

Your success story is going to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
