  • Lightning Movie Reviews – Ant-Man, Ultron, Minions

    I have some catching up to do, so you get some quick thoughts on some recent flicks.

    Thanks to the fine folks at Buffalo.com, my 5 year old daughter and I saw Despicable Me 2 last night.  It’s got a lot to live up to, as the first is one of our favorite movies as a family, and one of the most-quoted.  I’m happy to report that, for the most part, Despicable…
