Movie **+ A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

rmann April 1, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Beautifully filmed version of one of my favorite stories, but sadly the child actors were not the focus for the writers, casting, directing, or editing and the magic that should have been there was missed.

Book – ****+ Everything Under the Moon (2016)

rmann March 17, 2018 May 26, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

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.

rmann March 1, 2018 May 26, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

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.

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.

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

rmann December 26, 2017 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

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.
