An enjoyment of the cinematic arts is something that is usually instilled in us at a very young age. I'm sure we've all spent considerable time in our childhood pretending to be our favorite characters. For me personally, I alternated between being Luke Skywalker and Daniel Laruso.

"Star Wars" taught us that there will always be temptations pulling us toward the dark side, and that we must constantly work to overcome them. And "Up" taught me that growing old is the saddest thing ever and I'm terrified to die. Thanks, Pixar. Movies are also responsible for some pretty downright egregious lies.
