Particle Fever
Not as good as the critics said but not terrible. The physics was distilled down to meaningless Hollywood nonsense. 3/5 stars. Interesting inside look at the people who work on the Large Hadron Collider.

Man Up
Slightly better than the critics said, 3/5 stars. Big heart, great acting, dialog, plot twists, post production. Weak message, shallow Hollywood values. Nice rom-com chick flick.

Zwischen Chaos und Krieg Wer zerstört die Ukraine
This documentary is extremely insightful. The fragility of the status quo in Europe is exposed in detail. 4/5 stars.

Tomorrow Land
I really liked this one; but the rest of the family was on the fence. 3/5 stars. Worth watching. Great social commentary. Up-beat, positive, optimistic. George Cloony still has the juice.

Schiller: Der Verbrecher aus verlorener Ehre
Beautifully written, gritty story with well-crafted characters, tight dialog, and emotional appeal. I loved the surprise ending. 4/5 stars.
State of the Art
The third "Culture" book by Iain Banks is another witty examination of the utopia and even more praise by faint damnation of Banks' ethics. The "Culture" stories are getting boring. However the humor is fantastic and the characters really come alive. 3/5 stars.
