The Lone Ranger
Like my dad, I love a good Western, and I was really looking forward to this updated Lone Ranger. This version is a fast-paced action, action packed thrill ride.

The Great Gatsby
When I first heard about Gatsby, I wasn’t interested. but then I heard it was directed by Baz Luhrman, my ears perked up.
