The times where Kley and I get to sit and watch an entire movie are quite rare. We stay pretty caught up on our favorite TV shows after the girls go to sleep, but to have 2+ hours for a movie is rare. Then, when we finally get a date night or time to watch a movie, we are so behind on the times of what's good that we waste the precious time trying to decide what to watch.
So, to prevent this conundrum from happening to other people, here are some movies we've enjoyed that are actually worth watching. (Because it's so disappointing when you finally get time to watch a movie and then it's not even good!)
Seven Pounds (Drama, Romance)- A man with a fateful secret embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.
