The weekend movie retreat was amazing. It began spontaneously on Thursday night with a showing of Iron Man 3. This film is all about shedding the familiar skin and letting it all go. It’s time to get back to the original inspiration, and all things are not what they seem in our villain. The big bad guy in the movie is a decoy or a deception in our mind.
