    “X Men” Movie Review UPDATE: We rewatched this movie on April 23, 2024 by STREAMING it on Disney+. Still f-ing AWESOME! 🙂 We decided to go back and watch the X-Men series, starting with the first one in 2000 (on VUDU).  We may be among the very few who had not seen it yet… Humans…

  • “Smart People” Movie Review

    We watched this 2008 movie on VUDU. No action, very quiet dialogue, no special effects, no crashes, no yelling, one or two appropriate f-words…..acting……pure and simple.
