Brandon Sanderson’s concluding book in his excellent Mistborn fantasy trilogy.

Movie ****+ The Shape of Water (2017)

Lovely, surprising movie by Guillermo del Toro, but maybe not so surprising since he wrote Pacific Rim, Hellboy, and Pan’s Labyrinth ***** – one of my all time favorites which he also directed.

Book – ****+ Uprooted (2016)

rmann December 25, 2017 May 26, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Naomi Novik’s wonderful fantasy of an apprentice wizard and her awakening to the world of magic.

Movie **** The Post (2017)

Meryl Streep was excellent in this well put together piece of history. Her performance, as usual, was worth the ticket.

Movie **** Star Wars – The Last Jedi (2017)

Rey fights the First Order with the unwilling help of Luke Skywalker. Well-made addition to the franchise, but the franchise, in my opinion, is sorely in the need of breaking some new ground.

Movie ****+ Coco (2017)

rmann December 8, 2017 March 27, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Wonderful animated and musical excursion to the Land of the Dead to unravel Miguel’s family history.

Movie **** Victoria & Abdul (2017)

rmann December 6, 2017 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Fine Judy Dench period piece with a very good performance from Ali Fazal.

Movie *** Justice League (2017)

rmann December 4, 2017 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Batman, Wonder Woman, and friends face off against Steppenwolf parademons to protect three Mother Boxes that can destroy everything. This movie suffers from the tortured plot and many characters needing their scene.

Yes, I ate one of these berries. It wasn’t the sweetest blackberry I ever had, but I didn’t die.

This half-finished ‘Fall’ spoke to me.
