Since I have decided to also review movies along with books, I'll post 3 that are all wonderful and we have bought dvd's of all 3.


* The hundred-Foot Journey is one of our favorites, wonderful acting, story line and stars cast is just the right roles

*Age of Adaline is also a great story line, and great acting. When we first watched it had no idea what it was about and it took us by surprise the story line, but how wonderful it was done.

*Hidden Figures is based on a true story of " Three brilliant African American women at NASA -- Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world." I borrowed this qoute from the net. The acting and cast is wonderful.
