Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting (1983)
Wholesome, Engaging, Hypnotic, and Warm
Each of these words perfectly describe the artistry and nature of Bob Ross. Not only was Joy of Painting a formative experience during my childhood, but as I have grown, I still watch Joy of Painting with the same sense of wonder I had as a child. The timeless nature will enthrall generations to come. Ross's style of entertainment is a mark of an era of kindness and warmth long lost to televised entertainment.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Gritty
This is not your normal Marvel movie and for good reason. My one criticism is that they spent a large portion of the film developing Thanos' character, but the Avengers (and others) seemed to not change, develope, or learn in any significant way from beginning to end. Other than that small issue, it's a well written story and finally a superhero movie that makes me want to see the next one.
Voices from Mariel (2011)
Wow
This is easily going to be one of the most influential documentaries of all time. It has the chance of influencing future foreign policy toward the Cuban government and I think it will cause more support toward the policy of asylum for those citizens from Cuba who land in the United States. Dr. Garcia is very brave for doing this work and I commend him for it. I have the tremendous privilege of knowing him personally as my teacher, adviser for my fraternity, and mentor. The film has already won best documentary at the Gasparilla Film Festival and I am certain that it will receive many more! Congrats on a huge success to all of the production crew and of course to Dr. Jose Garcia. Go see this documentary or order it when it is out of DVD/blueray!
