What are some favorites of yours that you’ve seen recently?

• Sidney Poitier films – he died last week at the age of 94
• Here are some of Steve’s recent shows viewed along with reactions
• A movie-buff friend mentions these:
  • West Side Story – may be the best recent release. So well executed and the changes from the ‘60s version are well done
  • CODA (streaming on Apple +) is also life-affirming and warm-hearted.  It’s about a hearing teenage girl whose mother, father, and brother are deaf.  She serves as their translator to the hearing world and is struggling with following her own heart/dreams and her obligations to her family
