Movie ***+ Roma (2018)

rmann January 6, 2019 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Slow slice of life of a centered Mexican maid moving through a chaotic world. Many Oscars for no reason I could agree with.

Movie – **** Aquaman (2018)

rmann January 4, 2019 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Excellent family entertainment, but short on some plot and character points and a bit long on some actions sequences. Nichole Kidman and Jason Momoa were fun to watch.

Movie ****+ Vice (2018)

rmann December 31, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Psudeo-documentary of Dick Cheney political career and his role in the Iraq war.

Book – **** Skyward (2018)

rmann December 30, 2018 March 26, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Brandon Sanderson’s futuristic fighter pilots battle aliens who’ve constrained humanity to a single planet that the human space fleet once crashed on.

Movie ****+ Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

rmann December 29, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Excellent addition to the Star Wars films. More story and character interest than other performances and history.

Movie ***** Spider-man into the Spiderverse (2018)

rmann December 26, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Wonderfully complex animated film. Best Animated Feature Film Oscar by a long shot. No one but Miyazaki’s work and a few Pixar and Laika films are the same league.

Book – ****+ Death’s End (2010)

rmann December 20, 2018 March 26, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Completion of Cixin Liu’s sci.fi. trilogy of galactic threat, where mankind’s discoveries and adaptations allow humans access to interstellar space and influence over the future of the galaxy as a whole.

Movie **+ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

rmann December 15, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Plotless sequel with a large CGI budget.

Movie ***** The Favorite (2018)

rmann December 11, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Fascinating sexual history of Queen Anne.

Movie ***+ Green Book (2018)

rmann December 1, 2018 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Totally deserving of its Best Picture Oscar and Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Mahershala Ali. Vigo Mortenson had my vote for Best Actor at the time, but I had yet to see Bohemian Rhapsody and Rami Malek’s work.
