Wonderful Daniel Day-Lewis film with exceptional performances by Vicky Krieps and Lesley Manville.Full of surprises and interesting characters.

Book – ***+ The Rithmatist (2013)

rmann January 20, 2018 March 26, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

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)

rmann January 20, 2018 March 26, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

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)

rmann January 11, 2018 March 26, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Fantastic futurist romp leveraging a mystery adventure based on video gaming’s past. Totally entertaining.

Strange movie of a poker-playing restaurant investor.

Book – ***+ Mistborn – The Hero of Ages (2008)

rmann January 5, 2018 May 26, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

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.

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)

rmann December 14, 2017 March 27, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

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.
