REVIEWS:
Yochanan reviewed a horror / mystery film - 'A Knock at the Cabin' as interesting & a small cast doing a great job, definitely worth matinee, maybe full price & he liked it
& he reviewed the full season of 'Willow' on Disney Plus as he really enjoyed it & thought it was shot very well & had wonderful scenery & he recommends it
& he reviewed the last episode of 'The Last of Us' with a girl playing the 'Baby Yoda' part. He enjoyed it greatly & regrets the season is done, having looked forward to every episode, rating it a solid A+. Rick followed, saying that the series follows much of the plot of the FPS video game it is based on & was handled as a very good study on family & loss, with a fair amount of carnage. Duncan comments that 'Last of Us' is a family oriented Dystopian Thriller
Craig reviewed the Disney film, 'Princess & the Frog' as the storyline was okay, the music okay, but the quality of the animation was not up to typical Disney standards & Robin recommends looking up the source material 'the Frog Prince'

Tammy reviewed a book, 'One More Mountain: Fleeing Iran for America' - by Mansur Nurdel (Author), Jeannette Moninger (Author)
