מיטה טובה

Fantastic film!  Old actors articulate their lines slowly and clearly.  Ethical issues of assisted suicide examined by many angles poignantly.  4/5 stars.

Avengers, Age of Ultron

The dialog and post-production are fantastic.  Joss is a great director.

you hurt them back.
If they kill you,
you walk it off."

Bad.  2/5 stars.  Very boring.

Good Kill

Not very good, sigh.  2/5 stars.  Yes, we know about Obama's "drone war" and all of the war crimes Obama's executive branch is now committing.  Ho hum.  2/5 stars.  Miss this one.

The player of games

The second "Culture" novel is better than the first.  Recommended, 4/5 stars.

Southpaw

Another rags to riches boxing movie celebrating the sport where you try to concuss your opponent. Should we ban the sport of football because of concussions?   Fun drama, good editing and post production.  3/5 stars, entertaining.

I'll see you in my dreams

Not bad.  A little slow.  Good twists.  3/5 stars, worth watching.
