REVIEWS:
Ric reviewed 'Ant Man & the Wasp, Quantum-mania' is pretty good & worth at least matinee, but totally predictable & possibly worth it just for the Bill Murray cameo
Sandra reviewed 'RRR', seen on Netflix, as an Indian movie with English dialogue, an action-adventure buddy flick with good fx & highly recommended

Yochanan reviewed a movie, '2067' - seen on Hulu & a time travel flick - that had some nice ideas but not very good over-all, apparently better than doing nothing

Yochanan also reviewed a DVD of 'Scream of the Shalka', animated from 2004, that he really liked & highly recommends

Yochanan also reviewed a book, 'The World Omnibus of Science Fiction' as a collection of short stories, with some stories better than others, but an interesting read & he guardedly recommends it & Fred follow-on'd also recommending it, then there was some talk about Esperanto
Robin reviewed Kendra Merritt, a Colorado author - with a series called 'Mark of the Least' as fantasy adjacent & recommended
