What would you do with a Zoo? Refurbish? Take the job and run away? Or become a part of something special? Matt Damon plays Benjamin Mee, a novelty writer for a local paper, being a columnist only pays so far. Given a choice, keep his family local, or job to go elsewhere. So with his youngest daughter, they find out that an open set of land that has yet to claim an owner. This land turns out to be a Zoo, with a crew set and ready to go at a moment’s notice, including a collection of animals that were kept off the endangered species list.

A Thousand Words
2012
If you were given a gift, would you? A) treat it with care, B) disown the item for something else, or C) walk away. Well Eddie Murphy plays a business mogul who pines from others, making deals and changing minds. Until he finds his open mind within a gathering of peace, and tranquility. Only one problem, he can’t himself without speaking literally. One such teacher offers a way to teach him a lesson of humility. With one decision, every word counts when a guiding tree scratches him changing his aura altogether.
Sadly his life may never be the same, with work or his family (wife and young son). Trying to make his wrong decisions right, he only can use a thousand words.
I have honestly never seen Eddie Murphy in a film quite like this for some time. At times it’s a comedy, but also a drama, yet seems to rebound in all sorts of directions. There is so much range in the form of expression, whether its kindness, anger, frustration, or happiness.
