X-Men: Days of Future Past

Rated PG-13; 131 min

The X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.

Blended

Rated PG-13; 117

After a bad blind date, a man and woman find themselves stuck together at a resort for families, where their attraction grows as their respective kids benefit from the burgeoning relationship.

Director: Frank Coraci
Stars:    Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Kevin Nealon

Wow, it's been quite some time since Adam and Drew were together in a movie (50 First Dates) and that was a cute film, and maybe, arguably, Sandler's potentially best role I've seen him in.  Maybe this latest film of his (and hers) will give them both a fun film to be remembered from, because some of his latest films haven't really hit it out of the park.  Never mind outside the dirt diamond.

-

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors - [Limited]
