I watched “A New Hope”, Star Wars Episode IV yesterday, as scheduled. Good stuff, much as I remembered it. This was the one I remembered the best, having been addicted to it since I watched it obsessively with Linda and Melissa, my nieces, as I babysat for them many years ago. Their father, Bob Brackney, had it on VHS and later on one of those huge laser discs the size of an LP – maybe even a little larger.

Last night Sandy and I also watched Senior Moment, a new release starring William Shatner. It’s from “Chicken Soup for the Soul” pictures, so I figured it would be pretty mild and uplifting. It was OK, but nothing really exceptional. Shatner’s acting skills are clearly not top-notch, but I knew that going in. The story was light and decent and had it’s moments. I just wish the Professor from Back to the Future had a bigger role. He was a friend of Shatner’s character in the movie, but just wasn’t seen enough and his character wasn’t fleshed out very much at all, leaving me wondering. All in all, I think I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars. It’s worth watching, even if just to escape for 90 minutes.

Tonight Kevin and I are going to watch Godzilla vs Kong, which just came out today. Can’t wait!
