X-Men: First Class
We managed to see one more movie before time ran out on the weekend and I am so glad that we did. This has been the most satisfying movie I've seen for awhile. I never read the comics, but I did see the animated X-Men when the kids were much younger. I don't know how real X-Men aficionados feel about this latest installment in the movie series, but I loved the way they developed the characters, especially Erik aka Magneto. There was plenty of action without too much blood and gore and cool special effects as the mutants revealed their particular powers. I certainly hope there will be more movies about the early days of the X-Men. I will certainly be there. James MacAvoy is a very good Professor X, but Michael Fassbender as Magneto and Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw were excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie.

Usually not my style, but maybe I'll give it a shot. This is the kind that Cliff likes.
