Year: 2018
Movie ***** RGB (2018)
Fantastic documentary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s rise to the Supreme Court while fighting gender discrimination.
Movie **** Incredibles 2 (2018)
Top-notch sequel where the baby steals the show.
Book – **** Hungry as the Sea (2015)
Wilbur Smith’s fine action/adventure saga of the tough world of marine salvage. Every bit as readable as his Egyptian fantasy series, River God.
Book – ***+ Dragonsbane (2015)
Babara Hambly’s fantasy of Jenny and Gareth facing down the ancient dragon Morleleb to save their kingdom from evil.
Movie **** Get Out (2017)
Well-done sci.fi. horror story of stolen lives
Movie ***+ Serendipity (2001)
Lovely, if improbable, light romantic fare. Cusack and Beckinsale have chemistry.
Book – *** Ancillary Mercy (2015)
Continuing Ann Leckie sci.fi. story of human and AI minds in multiple host bodies called ancillaries. Weakest of the first three books for not establishing fresh plot and locations, but enjoyable for the characters already established in the series.
Inedible mushroom crop
Book – **** Mythborn – Rise of the Adepts (2017)
V. Lakshman’s sci.fi./fantasy series of inter-dimensional invasion by demon-like creatures whose power source, The Way, is used and shared by human adepts.
