Throughout this month, our blog posts have focused on the adventure side of Phoenix, Arizona. We’ve invited you to go on a virtual trip around the world, to take a bite out of the ocean, and to dive into your own creative world with a pen and piece of paper. Today, the Liv Ahwatukee Blog is continuing the call for adventurers. Will you answer it?
Here are a few of the exciting movies that were released this month. We invite you you take a movie-going adventure to different countries, worlds, and time periods. A few hours out of your apartment will do you some good.
