However Mary isn't just their for the children. She is there to show the parents how much of a loving father and mother is needed on an every day basis.

So I recently discovered Bone Tomahawk. I don't want to oversell, but really great movie. I have to warn you, though, extremely brutal scenes make it not for those with a weak stomach.

It's a western starring Kurt Russell who plays a small town sheriff who embarks on an extremely dangerous rescue mission after a few townspeople are kidnapped by brutal, savage neanderthal Indians.

The journey is wrought with peril of every kind until his posse meets up with the savages, then all hell breaks loose.

Highly recommended.

An AI named yoda

Poorly edited and trite

If family court judge Hope Willis had turned her head, she would have seen the car containing her daughter, struggling to get out. Now frantically grasping at any hope for Krissy's rescue, she calls Casey Woods and her team of renegade investigators, Forensic Instincts. With time running out and the authorities bound by the legal system, it's up to Forensic Instincts to solve this case

As Yoda himself would say: "largely pointless, this is".

In reality, this is a story-within-a-story-within-a-story, with Luke Skywalker reading this from 'Old Ben' Obi-Wan Kenobi's journal whilst in the cockpit of his X-Wing, chasing after R2-D2 who has decided to rescue (on his own) the captured at the end of The Final Flight of the Harbinger C-3PO from the Imperials.

And, as the arc ends, (presumably) R2-D2 is still in transit, with C-3PO still in custody.

It’s no law and order

Happy - a darkly comical crime series with plenty of action and outrageousness!! The series features Christopher Meloni ( looking somewhat ragged compared to his SVU days) we an ex cop turned hitman, that is injured and begins to see a flying blue unicorn.

His irritating blue sidekick takes him on an hilarious journey to rescue a young girl, who is the unicorn’s best friend! Expect a few laughs at this noir-ish style comedy that takes you to the borders of insanity!
