A really fun weekend at the movies may be exactly what the doctor ordered for those affected by the hurricanes, such as myself. If you are tired of looking at flood waters, wind damage, and throwing away all your ruined stuff; then head out to theatres and check out Shia LaBeouf in a spy thriller, or Diane Lane and Richard Gere fall in love, or perhaps learn what it was like in the throngs of war. It’s a weekend that has a little something for everyone so enjoy it.
