Children of Invention
Children of Invention tells the story of a mother raising two young kids on her own. When she gets arrested for being entangled in a pyramid scheme, her pragmatic children come up with an ingenious way to take care of themselves as they wait their mother’s return. The movie starts out slow as it lays out the background info for its viewers, but the build up is part of why the second half becomes so emotionally charged. The turning point in the movie—and no one will be able to miss it—is a guaranteed tearjerker.
Although the children takes center stage for most of the movie, the mother’s story—and her resilience—is undeniable. Both sides of the coin are shown exceptionally well: the mother’s struggle to provide a stable home and the forced-upon maturity of the children.
Bottom Line: It’ll make you miss your mother.

Bring Back the Bluths!
I cannot wait any longer!
It’s been official for some time now that the screenplay is in the works and that most of the original cast members from the beloved TV show will sign on to reprise their roles.
First it was rumored to be released in 2011; now it’s slated for 2012. Oh, c’mon! I’ve been waiting since 2009! So I know that it’s only 2010 and I’ve only been waiting for less than a year, but considering the show ended in 2006, the studios should give the fans what they want, and give it to them now.
All I’m saying is that they need to hurry up before Michael Cera becomes an even bigger star than he is now and changes his mind about the whole project. If this movie gets pushed back any further, we may never get to witness its magnificence on the big screen since we’ll all be dead after 2012. I’m just saying…
