Reviews
Yochanan:
Saw Avatar - The Way of Water on Tuesday (plain 3-D) Really liked it. Lives up
to the first one. Acting top notch, effects beautiful. Environmental message.
Story was a touch repetitious (3.5 hour run time!)
Kenita: Thought is was very good. Mercado20 had issues with the 2-d portions.
Gerald: Sigourney Weaver did her own underwater stunts (and played her own
ancestor).
Robin: She is 73!
Wednesday (Netflix) set in a school for “outcasts”. A bit of a murder mystery.
Got a bit Scooby-doo-ish. Jenna Ortega is outstanding as Wednesday Addams. Cast
does a great job. Really liked it. 2 thumbs up. Thing is a big part.
Robin: They mystery was well placed with clues. Wednesday’s version of Paint It
Black is exquisite (you can find it on YouTube)
Chris: Enthusiastically endorsing as well. Also has a great dance scene (also
on YouTube). Stood up with with original ‘60s and the movies.
Rumor of the Week:
Wednesday's child is full of woe...and we love it!
Adjourned at: 20:34
