Movie ***+ American Made (2017)
Tom Cruise tour de force story of drug-runner Barry Seal. Entertaining.
Movie ***+ The Florida Project (2018)
Disturbing movie of raising children under the radar of Child Protective Services. Well-made, low-budget effort improved by William Defoe and Bria Vinaite as the challenged mother of Moonee.
Perfect Fall leaf
Movie **** Thor – Ragnarok (2018)
Fun with franchise characters, notably the Hulk and Thor.
Halloween again?
Book – ***+ Ancillary Sword (2014)
Continuing Ann Leckie sci.fi. story of human and AI minds in multiple host bodies called ancillaries. Weaker than the first book for not establishing fresh characters and plot complications, but enjoyable for the characters already established in the series.
Movie ****+ Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Fine remake, but missing Rutger Howard’s performance and containing some logic gaps that press your willing suspension of disbelief.
Movie ***** Blade Runner – Final Cut (1990)
Fine Rutger Howard performance. A classic for mood and sets.
Movie ****+ Wind River (2017)
Well-made detective thriller, where the fish-out-of-water FBI agent is paired with the wilderness-savvy local hunter to unravel an Indian homicide.
