Movie ****+ Red Sparrow (2018)
Very good adaptation of the book. I even believed in Jennifer Lawrence as a prima ballerina. Difficult subject matter was handled better than in most such films.

Thinking person’s science fiction where the science we know is slowly spinning out of control.
Jeff Johnson’s wonderfully different werewolf tale. More a mystery/adventure than a horror story, Jeff uses the werewolf strength and sense of smell like super powers in sleuthing out the truth or to manipulate those who are after him.
One of my favorite romantic comedies where a bookshop owner falls in love with the most famous actress in the world. Hugh grant and Julia Roberts are at the top of their form, and the script is delightful. Can be watched once-a-month.
Book one of N. K. Jemison’s Broken Earth series chronicling seasons of volcanic upheaval caused in part by Guardians with the power to move the earth.
