Stowaway This has to be the dreariest moral dilemma movie I have ever watched. Akin to watching paint peel or grass grow, as the saying(s) go. It. Was. So. Slow. I nearly fell asleep.

And finally, a heartfelt family film, The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivot, starring James Bradford as the genius 10 year old inventor who travels alone to the Smithsonian Museum to accept an award. This was a sweet, quirky story that tugged at the heartstrings. An enjoyable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
