Must see Movies

As part of my work at the youth crisis center I work at, I get to mentor a kid for a little extra one-on-one time each week. When the weather is nice and there isn't any snow, we might shoot hoops, play soccer, or go for a bike ride. However, right now it has been weekly Thursday movies which is a big treat every week going to the theaters to catch a film.

Tonight Chels came with us to see, "Gran Torino". For the life of me I can't understand why this movie was not at the top of all Academy Award ballots for best picture and also best actor for Clint Eastwood. It is an extremely poignant movie that has a lot of important themes throughout. Perhaps the strongest being family, friends, and respect for elders. Be sure to catch it at the theaters if you haven't already.

We also watched Clint's other masterpiece a few nights ago via Netflix and we loved that one too. "Changeling" is a fascinating true crime story set in L.A. in the 1920's revolving around a child abduction and a mom's quest to find her son again.

Have awesome weekends and go watch some great movies!
