Movies Review – May 6th-May 17th

Combining the last two weeks, here’s what we’ve been up to in Movie Reviews! First off, we took a closer look at the classic movie, “How Green was My Valley.” Roddy McDowall had his first large role in this film about a boy who grew up in a Welsh mining town and experienced both hardship and joy. “The Ultimate Gift” is the story of a spoiled young man who goes on a journey of self-discovery to earn his inheritance, only to find that the lessons he learned were more valuable than any amount of money could have been. “Enchanted” is … Continue reading →
