We recently rented a little known film called "Secondhand Lions". It stars Duvall, Michael Caine and Haley Joel Osment. It was really a wonderful heart warming family movie. There are so few movies these days that the whole family can sit down together and enjoy.

"Secondhand Lions" was a great movie! I bought it (and I rarely buy new releases). I highly recommend it.

My husband and I watched "Broken Trail" and loved it. I liked the confusion of the Chinese girls, the way that people crossed their paths on the trail, and the grittiness and danger of the trail drive.

It was historically accurate, too. Chinese girls were sold into prostitution through San Francisco, the British Army did buy horses, etc.

All in all, one of the best things I have seen on television in years.

Loved "Second Hand Lions" too--one of those obscure films that should have gotten more publicity.

Loved that movie!! And I can't stand Haley Joel Osmet!!! But Robert Duvall & Michael Caine make it worth watching....
