Movie trailers can be the bane of existence for movie goers. Personally, I want to see the trailer, but I do not want you to give away the farm. The trailer for Midnight Special is fabulous and barely lets viewers know what’s going to happen in the movie, but that’s a good thing in this case.

However, when it comes to Easter basket ideas for boys you should plan accordingly; lest you have egg on your face.
