I read the first of the Spellslinger books back in 2017, so it's been quite a gap.

Movie of the Week: Fisherman's Friends
Apr. 16th, 2019 09:10 pmYes, OK, it's a feelgood British film about the undersogs making good. The charactyers are lovely, the story is sweet anhd there's some good shanty singing (though not too much to the non-folkies need not worry).
James Purefoy makes a good grizzled fisherman. I've never been that keen on Daniel mays, but he comes good as the intruder into a closed society, eventually learning to do the right thing.

Zachary Levi is the adult super hero, pitching his performance just right as a boy in a man's body. Asher Angel does well as the schoolboy with a big secret, and Jack Dylan Grazer is the schoolfriend who becomes Shazam's sidekick. Mark Strong is delightful as the scenery-chewing villain.
