Upon their arrival they get a very weird greeting by the chef Ralph Fiennes. And then the movie turns into a mind blowing, terrifying unpredictable experience that uses magic and food that changes that patrons lives forever (Rated-R) – (106 Minutes) – (4 Stars). … The other movie is, The Chosen. Which was originally a TV series shot in 2019. It’s a Christian faith based movie about the lives and travels of Jesus, Andrew, Matthew and Peter. May not be your cup of tea, but I loved it!

And a (mini) N.Y. Post headline I want to share. Trump and the Murdoch media group, which owns Fox, the N.Y. Post and other outlets have had a falling out and none more obvious than the tiny, bottom of the front page one liner on Wednesday, the day after Trump declared he was running for president again. Tiny one line said, “Florida Man Makes Announcement.” Now that’s funny!
