June Squibb is a national treasure!
She gives a marvelous performance in ELEANOR THE GREAT, the story of a woman whose loneliness leads her down a wrong path.
The rest of the cast is solid, too, especially Rita Zohar, who plays Eleanor's friend Bessie, who gives an Oscar-worthy performance.

John Scalzi's WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE is a hoot and a half! Yes, the concept is crazy -- the Moon literally turns into cheese -- but accept that, and you're in for a treat.
It's an out-and-out comedy, because, really, how could it be anything else?

If you're a fan of Janis Ian, or of music in general, the documentary about her life and music titled BREAKING SILENCE is highly recommended. She's also a big science fiction fan, and you can see her posing with SF writers George R.R. Martin and Mike Resnick.

Kevin J. Anderson's NETHER STATION combines SF and horror, with deft characterization and a good dose of hard science. A trip to the far reaches of our solar system to investigate a wormhole turns out not to be as benign as they'd hoped and assumed.

J. Michael Straczynski's SPIDER-MAN AND THE SINISTER SIXTEEN is a laugh-out-loud tale of Spidey and M.J and a "quiet" dinner out. But one super-hero after another shows up. Loki, of course, has a party of three, with a date on either arm. Squirrel Girl refuses to check her squirrel. Hilarity ensues.

STRANGE NEW WORLDS did one of its genre-busting episodes this week -- a spoof of sixties' science fiction shows and a murder mystery.
The actors all seem to having a hoot. Paul Wesley, in particular, goes full-Shatner in his depiction of a fictional starship captain.

Jason Sanford's WE WHO HUNT ALEXANDERS is a fast-paced, character-driven horror story.
Amelia and her mother Danjay are "rippers," who feed on society's worst people.
Amelia makes friends, comes to terms with developing her powers, and protects her mother as best she can.
Highly recommended.

I never thought I'd develop the habit of only using one space at the end of a sentence instead of two. I knew even if I tried, I'd have to do a search-and-replace in case I missed any.
I just finished a 36,000-word novella, and only had 14 instances of two spaces instead of one. I guess I did OK.

The new NAKED GUN movie is a real hoot! Liam Neeson really shows his comedy chops, and this may send his career into more such movies, as it did for Leslie Nielsen. Pay attention to the background! A lot of funny stuff is happening behind the main action, and the end credits contain their own jokes.

The most important thing about this iteration of the FF is that it nails the characters.
The Reed and Susan relationship feels like a real marriage, and not a cartoon one. And Susan is the lead character here, which is refreshing.
Galactus and his herald, Shalla-Bal, are wonderfully realized.

Samantha Harvey’s ORBITAL shows us in expressive prose and deep characterization how the experience of spaceflight affects a crew aboard the International Space Station.
Some readers and reviewers have complained that the book, Seinfeld-like, is “about nothing.” Don't listen to them.

FENRIR, by Eric Flint and Ryk E. Spoor
Hard SF and space adventure that isn’t a simple shoot-em-up has been hard to find lately.
The story deals with technical issues, political machinations, and interpersonal conflicts. The pace is non-stop.
Highly recommended.

Tanith Lee's NIGHT'S MASTER is part of her TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH series, involving gods, demons, and mortals. Her prose is lush and leisurely and her storyline compelling.
Neil Gaiman, facing abuse allegations, is also said to have plagiarized Tanith Lee's work. Read her instead.

We're really enjoying BEFORE on Apple+. A troubled child is the only person seeing pretty scary stuff.
But could the cinematographer turn on a light? Amorphous forms have vaguely arm- and leg-shaped appendages and gesture and move around against an even darker backdrop.

The first thing many people noticed about Jimmy Carter was the smile. It was his trademark all through his presidency and beyond. All his life he devoted himself to promoting peace and democracy.
He was often referred to as our greatest former president. I agree.
