Am I watching Crash? Donnie Brasco?  Or maybe The Departed?  No.  It's Brooklyn's Finest which is the new movie directed by Antione Fuqua and written by Michael C. Martin.  Brooklyn's Finest opens the door into the lives of three separate cops in Brooklyn, New York with very different agendas. 

Eddie:  Veteran actor, Richard Gere, plays what most believe to be an old washed-up cop who is no stranger to the bottle.  With seven days until his retirement from the force, Eddie is asked to mentor some young rookie cop for a new police initiative.  After spending a lifetime on the police force day-in and day-out, he has lost the desire 'To Protect and Serve'.  Or at least he did until he meets the rookie cop that makes him grow his conscience back.

Now I haven't seen any of these movies yet.  But they are on my list.  Since we're moving into the winter season, it's a must I upgrade my Netflix membership.  I don't do well in the cold.  So I will be watching a lot of movies in the next couple of months.  Here are three movies that look interesting.  If you've seen any of them, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Synopsis:  Miguel Santos, a.k.a Azucar, a Dominican pitcher from San Pedro de Macoris, struggles to make it to the big leagues and pull himself and his family out of poverty. Playing professionally at the Kansas City Knights baseball academy, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the United States' minor league system. Miguel travels from his tight knit community in the Dominican Republic to a small town in Iowa, corn country, where he and a couple other Latin American teammates are the only Spanish-speaking people in the vicinity. As Miguel struggles with the new language and culture, despite the welcoming efforts of his host family, he is faced with an isolation he never before experienced. When his play on the mound falters, he begins examining more closely the world around him and his place within it, and ultimately questions the single-mindedness of his life's ambition.
