Three years after the zombie virus has gutted the United States of America a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood.

TELEGRAM FOR MRS. MOONEY By Cate M. Ruane
Genre: Historical

ISBN: 9781948907064

With only a telegram to guide him, twelve-year-old Tommy Mooney leaves his Long Island home in search of his big brother Jack—a RAF Spitfire pilot missing in action somewhere in Nazi occupied Europe. 

A lovely storyline that draws the readers into the time-line that is the second world War and keeps you so entranced that you wish you were there. With a near accurate depiction of the great War as a background, the writer draws a warm, humorous and suspense filled picture that the reader can enjoy. A good page turner.

 MALCOLM & MARIE
GENRE: Drama, Romance 
STARRING: Zendaya, John David Washington
RUN TIME: 1hr 46min
RELEASED: February 5, 2021

A filmmaker returns home with his girlfriend following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what's sure to be imminent critical and financial success. The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love.

This movie tells the story of two individuals in a relationship over a period of one night. It is one long running dialog that paints all the good bad and sometimes ugly side of being in a relationship. This movie has very good acting and cinematography but a weak plot which does not warrant the run time.
