It has a great cast, excellent acting - well worth watching - & highly, highly recommended. Lisa followed, saying that they did a good job on this remake & it's great fun. Chris O also agrees that the movie is very good and he reviewed 'Time Scoop' by John Brunner as an interesting book & he enjoyed it John O reviewed his Hugo readings & comments that 'you should start reading now'. He says making choices will be difficult this year since they are all very good. He has read 'Project Hail Mary', by Andy Weir (Ballantine / Del Rey) & 'She Who Became the Sun', by Shelley Parker-Chan, as well as a short story 'Unknown Number', by Blue Neustifter & recommends them and he reviewed 'The King's Man' as an enjoyable fantasy & much better than the first 2 movies in the series, with the setting as being around the time of World War I & is worth paying for whatever your streaming service costs & Rick followed, especially liking the scenes with Rasputin - & both agreed that the Rasputin fight scene is just 'freaking amazing' and he reviewed 'Picard' ep 8 as it's getting involved & some are complaining it's turning into a soap opera & he highly recommends it we adjourned at 8:37 pm and the rumor of the week was = 'Disney World will be moving to the space station' -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
