The Marvels (2023): Movie review

                                                                                      

Jim's Review

In this 33rd instalment Marvel brings three women superheroes together for trifecta  of marvelous drama and action.

This is not a marvelous movie as it has comedy, dram and slight action that makes it just bearable to watch.

Jim's Review

The murders of Barry and Honey Sherman rocked the city of Toronto to its core and everyone wanted to know the same thing. Who did it and why?

Kevin Donovan write and author shares his insights in this amazing 4 parts series that peels back the layers of the Sherman family for the very beginning to the many of interest of Barry Sherman including Frank D'Angelo and Toronto businessman who befriended Barry many years ago and bonded a friendship that yielded some success and failures.

Honey Sherman was more the philanthropist and look like the nice lady yet she had here secrets also. Character only name "Anonymous" tells a different story about her

Then its about the 4 kids and what they know and where they were, there only son Jonathon had lots of speculation around him from his own family.

Kevin Donovan shares all that and court battles he faced to get at some important information

The riveting climax with have you ask more questions then getting answers.

The murders have not been solved and there is 35 million dollars reward to the person or persons that have the answers as to who did it and why?

About book

“Absolutely essential reading for every LEGO fan.” —Blocks

The definitive history of LEGO, based on unprecedented access to the company’s archives and rare interviews with the founding family who still owns the company

"This book tells the story of how my family built the LEGO brand." —Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, former President/CEO of the LEGO Group and 3rd generation owner

It’s estimated that each year between eighty and ninety million children around the globe are given a box of LEGO, while up to ten million adults buy sets for themselves. Yet LEGO is much more than a dizzying number of plastic bricks that can be put together and combined in countless ways. LEGO is also a vision of the significance of what play can mean for humanity.

This book tells the extraordinary story of a global company and a Danish family who for ninety years have defended children’s right to play—and who believe grown-ups, too, should make the time to nurture their inner child. The LEGO Story is built on Jens Andersen’s unique access to LEGO’s own archives, as well as on Andersen’s extensive conversations with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, former president and CEO of the LEGO group and grandson of its founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen.

A riveting cultural history of changing generations’ views of childhood and the importance of play, The LEGO Story also a fascinating case study of how innovation and creativity helped leaders transform LEGO from a small carpentry business into the world’s largest producer of play materials and one of the most beloved brands in the world. Richly illustrated with never-before-seen photos from the family’s private archive, this is the ultimate book for fans of LEGO, revealing everything you ever wanted to know about the brand. https://www.amazon.ca/LEGO-Story-Little-Sparked-Imagination/dp/0063258021/ref=asc_df_0063258021/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=581372490680&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16512276014046628061&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000967&hvtargid=pla-1644148973196&psc=1
