Reviews indicate that many more liked  The Wrecking Crew  than not.  For example, said CNN: Momoa, Bautista are buddy movie perfection in 'Wrecking Crew' Two superhero movie stars get their bromance on in an explosive new Prime Video action flick. They are Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. When their private-eye Hawaiian father dies in a suspicious hit-and-run incident, two estranged half-brothers are brought back together for the first time in a decade. James Hale (Bautista) is a steely Navy man in Honolulu who’s a hardcase at work and at home and has no patience for shenanigans.

 A week ago, my posting was:       NOSTALGIA TUESDAY:  My First  Huffington Post  Article I talked about the beginning of the  Huffington Post  and my first contribution on 29May2008 to, in those early days, still a fledging web newspaper:       Well, Barack, We have a Problem ...  The problem, I thought, was the horrendous size of our national defense budget, but the opportunity Barrack Obama had to combat peak oil and remediate global warming by transferring funds into these programs.  Better to save humanity by taking care of these problems instead of escalating the potential of war and a nuclear winter.
