DEAR FRIENDS:
SORRY THAT THIS ISSUE IS A BIT INCOMPLETE AND A BIT LATE AS WELL!!
MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1/8/25- Good reviews for this new movie by Pedro Almodovar. I loved the movie- Great acting and important themes. TRDB
2) THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism — and grueling working conditions — they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.
