Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
The last Star Wars installment that ties together how Anakin turns to the dark side of the Force to become Darth Vader. **Some spoiler stuff so don’t read if you don’t want to know.** R2D2 is awesome and he has bypassed Yoda as my favorite character. I love Yoda...
Secondhand Lions
This was a nice little movie. It was overly cute in parts, but it didn’t go over the top because of Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. It could have been way too sweet, but they gave it a nice edge....
50 First Dates

The Incredibles
Retired superheroes are called out for a new assignment. I love Pixar movies. I did enjoy this one, but I did not like it as much as the Toy Story movies. I wanted it to be funnier. It was a good action picture though. When the fight scenes are...
