Angels' new angle

You know you're old when you've lived through 3 incarnations of "Charlie's Angels."

As it turns out, there's a 2019 version:



It's interesting to see Bosley as a woman. And to see that Elizabeth Banks is really going "Full Throttle" (Charlie's Angels reference) with her directing career. After seeing her directorial turn in "Pitch Perfect," I'm totally on-board.

Of course, this Charlie's Angels is a far cry from the original one with Kate Jackson, Jacklyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett. Things weren't as modern and new-fangled. Even if you compare it to the 2000s version with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

Good thing they kept some things constant. Like Charlie being "invisible" and his speaker looking the same as it did from way back in the 70s.

All that said, I might just watch this to see a different angle of this trio of angels.
