Movie Review: Despicable Me 2 *AND* The Lone Ranger! A.K.A- Movies you need to see!

Looking for something to do out of the heat for the 4th??? How about the movies?!?

I know, how do I come up with this stuff, right? (c;

Summertime/holidays are the movie industry's *JAM*, so when you get BOTH like for the 4th of July, you have to know whatever is coming out is going to have to be epic. And they are.

If you aren't already in love with this movie just because of the characters from the first movie, then let me clear something up for you: YOU'RE INSANE.

There aren't that many kid movies out there that I would go home and watch by myself...but this is totally one of them! THE MINIONS. 'Nuff said.

I'm already a big ol' Steve Carrell fan (dude is a riot), but I have officially joined the Kristen Wiig fan club, she is absolutely *hilarious* as Lucy, The Anti-Villain League spy.

VERDICT?

This is unadulterated family fun, anyone and everyone will L-O-V-E it! Um, unless they are *insane*, as previously stated...but it's a super hilarious movie and I always enjoy that they sneak little sweet parts in there, too.



Three things you already KNOW about The Lone Ranger:

#1: 

The new Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) is smokin' hot.

#2

Johnny Depp is *freakin'* awesome as Tonto...was there really ever any doubt?

#3

It's amazing how a piece of music written in 1838 can still give you goosebumps...hats off to Gioachino Rossini, the William Tell Overture composer...it's still super awesome theme music almost 200 years later (c;

VERDICT?

Another absolutely awesome movie...super fun for those probably ages 6 and over...that's right, I would take my 6 year-old to this one! There is definitely some violence, but for the most part it's good old fashioned Old West violence and Disney does a pretty good job of keeping it pretty tame. If you are super picky about the violence that your kiddos ingest, than it's probably a "no", but I honestly thought it was just a good ol' western romp and made me want to go back and watch the original Lone Ranger (c;

P.S. Silver is scene stealer. That is one funny horse.
