The secretary reviewed 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' as enjoyable & still a great romp -mostly- & stay for all the credits, worth full price

Lisa also 'I am grooted'- she saw 'GG2' in a groot (group) & had far too much fun - also upvoted the credits & is now waiting for the DVD

Noel reviewed 'King Arthur' as poorly critically received & not that bad- as compared to 'Ghost in the Shell' - but there wasn't much of a story - just a lot of moments; Mo followed on that she hasn't seen the movie but from what she read, the movie is meant as a romp

Gayle reviewed the new dinosaur species found as the creationist comments show frightening opinions

Dave C reviewed the ads for 'Alien Covenant' with Rick & Morty as fun

Adrienne reviewed 'It Happens Every Spring' as speculative fun fiction

Andy reviewed this year's Eurovision Song Contest as a real crapfest this year & the first rule of yodel club is do not talk about yodel club
