UPDATE: On April 24, 2024 we STREAMED this movie on Disney+. 13 years after our original viewing and review below, “X2” is still excellent but a lot more confusing, with a lot more moving parts, than “X-Men”. On our quest to watch all the X-Men movies before the next one comes out…this was #2.…

Parents Are The Key To Safe Teen Driving
Parents pledge… Just because your kid is now a teen (16, 17,18, 19, or even 20) don’t think they can just be let go to take care of themselves. It is a scientific FACT that the brain is not fully formed until age 23 or later. Teens simply cannot yet make all the correct choices…
