I started watching this just hoping for a few laughs, this being an Adam Sandler movie. Instead, I found a deep story dealing with issues relevant to real life: what are the values that define you as a person? What is acceptable and what is not? Why one has to draw the distinction between what feels good and what is good?

Spanglish is a good movie backed up by some great performances by Paz Vega and Adam Sandler. Tea Leoni performs her role well and Cloris Leachman is an able support, at times adding a flavor of dry comedy.

I won't reveal the plot. All I'll say is it is worth your time. A funny movie with a solid story and something to take away later.

In the 100m and 200m, Usain Bolt has ruthlessly dominated the field in athletics in the last 8 years and is the only person ever to win a triple-triple of golds in the Olympics. Between his absolute reign and his fun-loving, animated demeanor, you can't be faulted for thinking it is just raw talent and some training.

'I am Bolt' presents a window into his life: the ups and downs, the euphoria and the lack of hope and motivation that are the natural cycles in a career in sport. It's a peek behind the perception of eternal greatness.

Certainly a recommended watch.
