Buffalo Girls (2013) IMDB: 7.2  Rotten Tomatoes: 33% Plot: Documentary follows two 8 year old girls that compete in an underground Muay Thai boxing circuit to help support their families. My thoughts: Coming in at a scant 64 minuets this is a fascinating look into the lives of two young girls living a life I could not imagine having to live.

I recommend this one.

To say this film is flawed is a huge understatement. Drama is not Mark Wahlberg's strong point, he shines in comedies but as a dramatic actor he comes off as flat and wooden as a plywood sign. He is not however the worst part of this two hour travest

My Thoughts: Well at the beginning, I thought that there won't be anyone talking after the ''dawn of man" scene. Then when I saw people walk on walls, I wished that I lived in zero gravity. Then when I saw the Zero gravity toilet, dad told me that someone paused that, read that, and posted that online, and I said that I wanted to try that. And then after a couple of minutes, dad told me that every single sci-fi movies borrowed a part of this movie. And then when I saw Dave go through that vortex, my 2-year old sister, Sophia, came and saw the movie and asked " Is that the Tardis?". And while I was watching the stream, my mind was making pictures with it. Then when Dave landed at that place, it reminded me of a Phineas and Ferb cartoon that had that part. And when I saw the star baby, I also sa
