This is a documentary about a professional speaker named Tony Robbins at his 2014 "Date With Destiny" seminar.
Liked the day by day account on the six day seminar which is filled with personal anecdotes! I was amazed by how he could ask the audience really deep questions about themselves to find out the root cause of their problems!

The story is about the adventures of a little girl called Coraline when she found a secret entrance to a parallel world.
Liked the nice animation but found it a bit scary at times. Guess it celebrates the unique quirks in each one of us!

The Redeemed and the Dominant: Fittest on Earth
This is a documentary of the 2017 Cross Fit games to find the fittest person on earth.
This felt like a sequel to "Fittest on Earth: A Decade of Fitness", same few athletes but one year older. I learned more about the actual Cross Fit games events in this film.

Brave
The story is about how a Scottish princess improved her relationship with her mother through a series of adventures.
Thought this was a precursor to the film Frozen. Both films had someone exiled from the castle and both films were about the love between family members. Liked the action sequences in Brave better but the songs in Frozen better.

The Breadwinner
The story is about life in Afghanistan in the late 1990s seen through the eyes of a little girl called Parvana.
Liked the stories told by Parvana that mirrored reality! The animation in those stories reminded me of shadow puppets. The ending was exciting too as we wondered what would happen eventually!

Bumblebee
The story is about how one type of alien robot came to earth and almost destroyed it if not for the help of another type of alien robot. The two types of alien robots lived in a planet called Cybertron and were able to transform into different objects.
Liked the friendship between Bumblebee and the human girl! The inclusion of the group of arrogant rich teenagers and the boyfriend was a bit unnecessary though.
