Movie **** Baby Driver (2017)
Unusual heist movie sold by Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey.
Florida iguana
Movie ***+ The Greatest Showman (2017)
Nice musical history of P.T. Barnum. Entertaining effort by Hugh Jackman.
Movie ****+ The Oscar-nominated Short Films 2018: Live Action (2018)
Excellent collection of short films. All these films were worth watching, but although The Silent Child won, my favorite was Watu Wote/All of Us which showed the crippling effects of religious intolerance and the simple power of people bonding with each other in spite of their different backgrounds and surroundings.
Movie ****+ Phantom Thread (2017)
Wonderful Daniel Day-Lewis film with exceptional performances by Vicky Krieps and Lesley Manville.Full of surprises and interesting characters.
Book – ***+ The Rithmatist (2013)
Brandon Sanderson’s fantasy of Joel, a Rithmatist wanna-be who discovers the power to control wild chalklings, magical creatures praying on his fellow students.
Book – **+ Dragonteeth (2017)
Historical search for wild west fossils by two rival groups of archeologists. The weakest of many enjoyable Michael Crichton reads.
Book – ****+ Ready Player One (2011)
Fantastic futurist romp leveraging a mystery adventure based on video gaming’s past. Totally entertaining.
Movie *** The Other Side of Hope (2017)
Strange movie of a poker-playing restaurant investor.
