Top movies to be watched to make Kevin, Sarah better people

I guess all things that have a beginning have an end.

I started this column as a fluke … a cross between me ranting about the grease monkey machismo of “2 Fast 2 Furious” and a brutal beat down of the wretched excuse for a film “The Italian Job.”

Since then I’ve been poking my nose over whatever movie poster was the victim (or victor) of the week.

“At the Movies” didn’t truly realize its potential until the lovely Sarah Mann came aboard to add a lighter, more kindhearted side to the column.

Wow kids, we’ve reached the end. The days of “At the Movies with Kevin and Sarah,” are now over. It’s been quite fun. Except for “Euro-trip” … that was hell.

For our last review, Kevin and I wanted to do something different. Since our editor wouldn’t let us review “Double-midgetation,” we had to come up with something else.

The assignment: create a list of movies that would make Kevin DeLury a better person.

“I feel very blessed to have so many people involved. There are 335 people involved in ‘Swan Lake.’ They are an awesome group of people and I love all of them,” director and producer of “Swan Lake” Cay A. Harkins said Monday.

Year's most memorable entertainment moments, last forever

by Kevin DeLury
Senior Staff Writer

Congratulations former (or current) Appalachian State University student! You’ve run the gamut and soon you’ll be sitting back at your parent’s house being bored, working a thankless job at your hometown’s Baskin Robins, or clenching a piece of paper in your hand that says you sell for a higher price on the market.

So what makes you think you’re so special?

Sure, you’ll have plenty of fond memories from this year and all the life-defining experiences you’ve undergone, but I’d be willing to say there’s one thing that will stick out in your mind till the day your snot-nosed, college-enrolled grandkids are staring over you in your deathbed: boobies.
