I can hear The Tokens singing now.

With much disdain for treadmill work at the gym, I was sweetly shuffled off to the gym by my beautiful bride with a reassurance that it'd make me feel better. I don't know about me "feeling better", but, it did do me good to run along the cylindrical road-Even if it wasn't at a rapid rate.

Sweetly, we stopped at the grocery store for some Oregano leaves, but, as always, we bought the store instead. Wanting to only spend $3.00, we tallied $153.00 on groceries that Bobbie and I figured we needed. Needed? More like wanted.

After unloading the needed/wanted goods into our cupboards and refrigerator, Bobbie spearheaded the cooking exploits of tonight's meal. Baked Parmesan Chicken and steamed beans were on the menu for our taste buds. Once Max, Courtney, and the two gals from down the street that Courtney was caring for a bit were fed, we cleaned like a team of Tasmanian Devils straight out of a Loony Toons cartoon. Shortly there after, the little gals found their way back into their mother's automobile, they waved good bye and proclaimed to their mother how much they enjoyed playing with Max's ferrets and Courtney's dogs.

After that, we had time to settle in for tonight's movie.

Knowing full well that Courtney hasn't had the chance to see this one, I knew she'd be in for a treat.

This motion picture tell us the story of a boy who is sent to live with a pair of eccentric Grand-uncles in the midst of his mothers desire to find herself. During their collision, our boy finds out what happens to his Grand-uncles and begins a tour de force of his own discovery and the truth that makes his bonds with others a beautiful, and sometimes a bitter-sweet, need. Humor abounds with punctuated emotional outpourings that will have you looking retrospectively into your own values and your family ties.

Second Hand Lions is a tale that distills all of the wonderful things that a family can be. Grand achievements, personal losses and the knowledge that, in the end, our bonds can make us whole. One should defiantly see this with someone they love.

For the discerning viewer that found, Unstrung Heroes and Lost in Yonkers a pleasure to the eyes, this one will fit right in their mix.

A fresh take that's always amusing to watch the first time or the hundredth time, this screen play gets a very heartwarming 6 out of 10 Foreign Legion Badges.
