It s been too long since we ve been to the movie theater, so join us as we refresh your memories of the experience. Specifically, let s talk about the great science fiction and fantasy novels that have wowed us on the big screen.

The need is acute in Florida: The state has the greatest prevalence of a fast-spreading virus variant first identified in the United Kingdom. The emergence of variants globally has added to the urgency of getting as many people as possible a shield of protection against the pathogen.
