Movie Reviews

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is probably one of my favorite films of this year because it was like medicine. It didn't taste great at first but in the end it made me feel better.

Excellent movie! I brought my three kids, 8, 5, and 4 last weekend. They all liked it although the 4-year-old boy was a little scared of the Dragon and the fighting in the movie, not scared enough to want to leave, though. www. 21-cn-jy. com.
