Movie **** Atomic Blonde (2017)

Theron kicks butt and takes punishment repeatedly, but her acting is spot on as is James McAvoy’s performance opposite her. She’s Madame 007 with as many bodies as a John Woo movie.

Movie **** Spider-Man Homecoming (2017)

Fun Tony Stark interaction trumps thwarting the Vulture.

Movie ****+ Valarian – City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

Absolutely loved this sci.fi. movie and would see it again for its visual beauty alone. Luc Besson does it again with an engaging story, characters, and visuals. The little matter-duplicating creature is a bit over the top (more fantasy than science), but fun.

Movie ****+ Wonder Woman (2017)

Excellent origin story that’s more fun than the Nazi antagonist plot. Would have liked more of Diana’s amazement at life off her island of Amazons.

Movie **** Megan Leavey (2017)

Well-done combat dog story of a woman trainer who benefits as much as the dog from their bonding.

Book – ***** Snow Crash (2007)

rmann June 7, 2017 March 18, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Neal Stephenson masterpiece of sci.fi./fantasy where corporations are more powerful than countries, and ancient programming is controlling mass behavior.

Movie ***+ Tampopo (1985)

Entertaining Ramen noodle shop comedy.

Movie ***+ Funk Brothers (2011)

Fun music history documentary of the studio musicians behind some of Motown’s greatest hits.

Movie ***** Evita (1996)

The unlikely sing duo of Madonna and Antionio Banderas do a fantastic Oscar-winning job with the Andrew Lloyd Weber songs.

Movie ***** Day of the Jackal (1973)

Superb find-the-assassin movie. Tony Britton, Inspector Label, must track down Edward Fox, a believable sociopath, paid to assassinate De Gaulle.
