What movie will you see this weekend?

Logan

Reasons to see this:

Nope.  This is not about the great Logan James that we know and love.  This is about the Wolverine, that we know and love.  Logan takes place in the near future, where he must care for Professor X while saving a young mutant from evil forces.  Sounds like he has his claws full.  Ba-dum-tss.  Starring in this comic book action flick are Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Stephen Merchant, Doris Morgado (2 Guns), Dafne Keen, and more.  James Mangold is the director of this flick.  Mangold’s last four directorial films were Knight and Day, 3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line, and Identity.  Now go ask Logan if he wants to see Logan this weekend.
