HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Mon~e)-brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

I had wanted to see this, as I grew up while the Mercury program was starting. Seeing what this ladies had to put up with was astounding. I realize that some was dramatized, but seeing some of the white men finally get it was wonderful. Highly recommend this movie.

Cool classic movie

It's been a few years since I saw Doctor Strangelove. It amazes me what Stanley Kubrick and the writers got away with in the early sixties. The film is definitely satirical in its approach and kind of puts a silly spin of the Cold War fears of nuclear destruction. In the midst of all that, you find characters who, while caricatures of types of people, have some of the most wickedly funny names, which poke even more fun at the characters. Starting with the titular character, Doctor Strangelove, add in General Bull Turgidson, and of course the president in the movie (you'll have to watch to get his name), and finishing off with Major Chang, played by Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb as it falls to earth. A dark comedy to be sure, but worth the watch.
