Bone Tomahawk


Extremely gruesome, 2/5 stars.

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

A little disappointing but worthwhile for the gems and writing styles.  Many of the introductions read like a creative writing course text, which I enjoyed.  Most of the stories are bland and unengaging.  3/5 stars.

It is a little better than expected with great "tech" portrayal.  3/5 stars.

Star Wars vii the Force Awakens

Better re-boot than the Star Trek series, 4/5 stars.

The Martian

Disappointing, thin shell of a great book but still ok, 4/5 stars.  Great book, good movie.

A Hard Day

We saw this film a few weeks ago.  It is much better than we expected.  The story is really good and the acting is great.  4/5 stars, very entertaining. 

Force Majeure


Fantastic film, One of the best we have seen this year.   It reminds me of the film "Ordinary People" because of the great acting and psychology.  5/5 stars, highly recommended.

Solar Express

Fantastic book 5/5 stars.
