Movie review for the day: Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (played by Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (played by Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (played by Janelle Monae), all 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, an 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.

Rico says a wonderful movie, brilliantly directed and acted. Kevin Costner, of Open Range, and Jim Parsons (Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory) both play against type.

In the immortal words of Joe Bob Briggs, see it today...
