We made it! Can you believe it?? I can't. Planning around four grown adult schedules is HARD. But cheers- we are here! We left off with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas recruiting the army of the dead living in the shadows.

Who decided that move? Who called that shot? I need answers! We learn lots about our friends in Middle Earth in this movie. Someone is 87, and I'll give you a hint, it's not Gandalf. Speaking ..read more
