BBC Life

The high-definition film is awesome.  4/5 stars

Burnt

All the recent food movies showcase the director's love of great food; and despite the melodramatic, bad plots, good actors carry these films to watchability.  See this star-studded foodie film while you are hungry 3/5 stars.

Assassin

Really boring film, 1/5 stars.  Miss it.

Renegade

Fantastic space opera story.  Great characters, non-stop action, intrigue, mystery.  I could not put it down.  5/5 stars.

Planetary Assault

Three fun novellas with wild combat action and space opera settings in B. V. Larson's universe.  Fast-paced, one-dimensional heroes being heroic under heroic circumstances.  Go, space marines! 4/5 stars.

Ancillary Justice

I read this one on the planes to/from San Francisco.  It is surprisingly boring for space opera, not recommended, 1/5 stars.

The Year's Top Short SF 2015

Not as good as previous years.  Some of the selections were not good.  2/5 stars. 

Killing Patton

Fantastic book, thrilling and interesting.  Great conspiracy theories.  Eye-opening facts and events behind the surface history we all know.  5/5 stars.

Hateful 8

Not as good as other Tarantino movies, very boring, slow beginning.  Meh, 2/5 stars.  See a better film instead. 

ZDF Weltmacht Google

Very interesting cautionary expose of the evil search giant (ESG) raising some weak arguments about Google's real economic, political, and social power over the Western world.  4/5 stars.
