REVIEWS:

Robin reviewed Miyazaki's 'The Boy & the Heron' as it was animated and she enjoyed it

Lisa reviewed New Year's Eve as really interesting, with lots of online parties

Yochanan reviewed 'Wonka'. He saw it in the theatre & thought it was fun. It is a musical & some of the music was uninspired, but he found it got better as it went along. The movie grew on him & he feels it is worth full price
