Can’t believe I forgot to mention Deadpool 2 in last week’s post – do I really need to 
say how funny and hilariously offensive it is? Hubby isn’t a big Marvel fan unless Iron Man is involved, but he’s been a Ryan Reynolds fan for years, so any movie involving Deadpool is an automatic must see. It’s as good as, or even better than the first.
My oldest son and I went into Solo: A Star Wars Story very skeptical – this actor had to prove himself worthy of filling Harrison Ford’s shoes. The first twenty 
minutes or so, I had my doubts, but then the movie just took off. We give Alden Ehrenreich, as well as Donald Glover, two enthusiastic thumbs up. Judging by the other movie goers in our theater, we aren’t the only ones. Such a fun, adventurous movie with a lot of laughs.
My oldest son and I were doused with crushing disappointment when our ghost hunting expedition was canceled Saturday. We were scheduled to ghost hunt with SyFy’s Ghost Hunters Dave Tango and Steve Gonsalves at Octagon Hall, which is allegedly haunted by Civil War soldiers and children. The event is being rescheduled, but we were ready for some supernatural excitement! *heavy sigh* Maybe next time.
Thanks to all our veterans and servicemen and women who have served and sacrificed for our country – Happy Memorial Day!
I’m glad you enjoyed the movies. It seems the Solo movie is pretty popular with most people who have seen it. I haven’t yet, but will… Eventually.
OK, I am so totally jealous that you nearly got to go ghost hunting with Tango and Steve. That would have been totally awesome! If you get to do it when the event is rescheduled, you so better share all the details!

You better bet I’ll be sharing, Tori – maybe even have some cool ghost pics to show! If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll enjoy Solo – the kid did a great job.

I’m not sure what the ‘professional’ reviewers are saying, but several die-hard Star Wars fans I know have loved it. Hope you enjoy, Shannon!

I’ve loved all the movies – maybe not the one with Jar Jar Binks so much, but as a loyal fan, I’m willing to overlook that slip.

I am so looking forward to Solo. The actor does have some VERY big shoes to fill, but I feel optimistic. Glad to know that isn’t off the mark.
And wow–bummer about the ghost hunting expedition.If I read this right, you’ll get another chance to do it again???

Yes! They’re supposed to reschedule it – I just hope it doesn’t conflict with something else. Have no idea what kind of time frame we’re looking at.
