Given the means to break "Widows" planted worldwide of their conditioning, can she confront her violent past-and the spymaster (Ray Winstone) who engineered it? Anticipated solo vehicle for the Marvel superheroine co-stars David Harbour, Rachel Weisz, O-T Fagbenie. 134 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

For years I believed that I had no use for a subwoofer,
until I came across some articles that explained how
it significantly enhanced classical music. So I purchased
this Sony subwoofer when it was on sale, to try it out.
It turned out to be true - and brought out things I had not
heard before in the music! It made the listening
experience more pleasurable, and I am glad I made the
purchase.
