"Its been a long time coming," word to Sam Cooke, trust by the time you are reading this it will have been changed who knows how many times, but here we are. Welcome to Eye Wonder, where the eye tells the story. I'm Hollywood (as my friends call me), an aspiring (for now) director and producer. My goal is to one day match if not exceed more sales as a director than Tim Story, be able to have the vision of Spike Lee, and the longevity of Clint Eastwood.

This blog is an insight to my journey as a film maker. As we all know in order to be a master of your craft, you must study and know your craft as much as you can. Eye Wonder Films is my craft, my brain child, meant to help me learn and in doing so spread the knowledge. What good is knowledge if you keep it to yourself. Therefore, here you will be able to find lively reviews of movies in the theater and on DVD. For fellow aspiring film makers, I will be posting how to guides on making film equipment on a budget (God knows nobody has any money or funding with the state our economy is in) and other essential tools to help you reach your goals as a film maker. Also, if you are a film maker feel free to send me your work. I will be featuring aspiring film makers and their work from all sectors of the movie creation process. Lastly, as opportunities present themselves, I will post interviews with people within the Television and Film Industry.

My vision for this blog is to create a medium where aspiring film makers can gain exposure. A medium where when you are sitting at home on a Friday night or have a "hot" date and you are thinking to your self "what movie should I see?" you will visit Eye Wonder to get an idea of what movie to see in the theaters or rent from block buster. A medium where knowledge is shared and exchanged. All in all ENJOY and SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS (feedback is always a good thing). Thank you for visiting but like any good director you must know when to yell "CUT."

Do you know where your man is?

I found this movie in a friends collection when I was going out of my mind not having cable. Had never heard of it before, but the cover looked interesting and I figured it would be something new to see. The movie turned out to be very interesting. A crazy plot about a middle class family who moves from Atlanta to Philadelphia when the father receives a job promotion. It is when they arrive in the city of brotherly love that things become interesting. With the mother clinging to her faith trying to hold her family together while friendships and relationships are put to the test.

This movie is a great conversational piece, dealing with many different subject matters such as faith, substance abuse, infidelity, and STDs. Therefore, I'm want everyone to find a copy this week and watch it. Next week I will post a few follow up post pertaining to different aspects of the movie. But I want to give you a chance to see it before I start giving away most of the movie.
