"(Don't know who "Matilda" or her father are, but I recognize "Danny DeVito as an actor, comedian I think -- but teeeveee or movie?)"

"Matilda" was a movie made a few years ago, with Mara Wilson as Matilda and Danny DeVito as her unscrupulous father, (and the story narrator).

It is an adaptation of the book "Matilda" by Roald Dahl. It is very charmingly instructive about good and evil, the power of kindness versus meanness and greed.

Entertaining and somewhat educational for children. A fun movie.

That sounds interesting. I’m not a big fan of Roald Dahl, but I’ll keep an eye out at the library for the movie.

Anoreth and Tom are watching “Air Force One” this evening, and Bill is cleaning the kitchen (unsolicited!) and listening to “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” on CD.
