    Reacher

    What an a-hole. He is lucky Alan was kind to him. If he weren't a celebrity there would be no question that the neighbor was harassing a dad and his two children.

    Cleaner

    I thought it was great fun. it didn't even try to be anything other than a Die Hard rip-off with an insanely hot Daisy Ridley. It could have stood a little tighter pacing (like 30 minutes shorter or 30 minutes more of Daisy killing dudes). And yes, the script could have been written by AI or...

    Project Hail Mary

    I read the book and it was "light reading" disguised as Carl Sagan. I enjoyed it. But I would say it's audience is closer to Harry Potter or "Doc Savage" level readers (Remember "Doc Savage?") I really don't know how they will make it into a compelling film, but I'll watch it when it gets to...

    Dresden Files

    He is a brilliant narrator . And a GREAT vampire. I love him. But he isn't Harry Dresden the way Dick Hill IS Jack Reacher!

    Dresden Files

    I just ordered it. I have read or listened to every novel and short story. I LOVE Harry Dresden. He is an imperfect character/wizard in a world of big bads, he is pretty tame. But he has a heart of gold and he always feels like someone who "walks with you" literally rather than be "other...

    https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1233413-sinners Over-hyped... Reminded me of "from Dusk to Dawn" without as much charisma. Plus the ending-- the ending (not the post/during credit sequence) was unnecessary. A lot of elements to the film that made it enjoyable to watch, but in actually, it...

    I am rewatching "Miami Vice." Although much of it doesn't age particularly well, the series is phenomenally groundbreaking in so many ways. Mann is really impressively ahead of his time (if not a producer of his own future-culture). Plus, some of the episodes and themes have me in awe. (check...

    Doctors get sued all the time. How is it that chiropractors don't have a line of attorneys (or coroners) following them around?

    Having a "best 5" is way more than most directors. It's also a hell of a good Virtual Pinball Machine (I don't think it was ever a real machine, but it may have been): https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/11309-big-trouble-in-little-china/

    Wow- I just watched it (Skyfall). Man... I dunno what to say. I just HATE James Bond in the 21st century. It's like he doesn't belong here. Think Austin Powers. When you TRY to force the character into the moral background it just doesn't work at all. Just get rid of the idea of James Bond...

    The Thing (1982)

    Any animal rescue folks know the impact of genes. There are certain breeds that you cannot mix with other rescue animals: The strong prey drives in certain breeds, such as Greyhounds, Terriers, and some hunting breeds like the Weimaraners, for example-- they cannot (and should not) be...

    It's been done. Repeatedly. Remember "The Bell Curve?" But the often quoted example of two plants--- one given light and nutrition and the other starved, is a flawed model, because no matter how much you feed either plant, they will reach an genetically derived limit. No "Jack & the Beanstalk"...

    That is precisely what happened last New Year's eve when the son of "the strip club king" got one for his birthday and hit my neighbor's tree at about 120 mph (our street is one block long). No arrests, either. My neighbor cried for the loss of his cherry tree. But the accident sounded like a...

    It's phenomenal. Unbelievable geopolitical thriller with the depth and complexity of LeCarre. She is brilliant. And it's her first novel. A GREAT read.
